A8N-SLI & Slow SANDRA Memory Benches

Interesting! So, now would 2 Gig sticks of ram allow me to do 2 Gig at 1T. Or is it a shear ammount of memory that is preventing me from getting 1T. Thanks for your help!

A8N-SLI & Slow SANDRA Memory Benches

Ok, well I have more info now. It seems that it was reverting to a command rate of 2T instead of 1T. However, I can only get a 1T rate if I only use 2 slots, not all 4 - Is this normal? I have 4 identical sticks of ram, I really prefer 2 gig of ram for my work, but I can only seem to get...

A8N-SLI & Slow SANDRA Memory Benches

I am trying to find out if anyone else with this board is having this issue. I am getting lower than expected Memory performance shown by SANDRA 2005 in the Memory Bandwidth Benchmark. Here is the screenshot: SANDRA Memory Bandwidth Benchmark (2005) Seems I am maxing out at 4.9 G/Sec...

* ASUS A8N-SLI experiences/results/issues

I got my A8N-SLI and a FX 55 the other day, and while stable I have noticed some issues: 1) The new Zalman does NOT work with these boards, you cant install the first bank with the new 7700 line. 2) Running SANDRA's benchmark shows my memory through put at 4.9 Gig, not nearly what I was...

NF 4 & HyperTransport & PCI Express + 3 GB SATA = Bottleneck?

See, not that makes sense. The thing that does bug me is it really looks like an nVidia graphic that says 1 GB. But, it cant mean that. The SATA 3Gb thing is actually cool because you can use a multipler now to hook more than one drive to it. Thanks for the input!

NF 4 & HyperTransport & PCI Express + 3 GB SATA = Bottleneck?

I am trying to understand how this all fits together. My confusion is this, looking at the Chip Layout of the NF4 found here: http://www.tomshardware.com/mo...041020/nforce4-01.html (only place I found it) it shows that the HT link between the MCP and the CPU is 1 GB/Sec. However, PCI Express...

What advancements is Linux developing?

Yes, they would. That is where you look for everything - in the policy. And yes your solution did work, it also had the unrequired aspect of blocking anyone (not just the ones asked). Either way my question was more on the uniformity side. Group Policies are all inclusive, generally. You...

n0cmonkey I see what your saying, and it is a logical arguement. I would say my response is somewhere in the middle. The study counted not only "Windows" but also MS made server/apps for windows (as far as security holes) and, it took things like RH or Debian, and looked at everything...

I would argue that the WinForms is currently the standard, as it is fully documented. GDI+ not used to draw windows, buttons, widgets, etc - it is used to paint your controls and draw primatives. The work together but do very separate things in the framework. WinForms is really a wrapper if...

Avalon is exposed via .Net - I am not sure if it is written in .Net, but the only way you can access it is via .Net. System.blaa.class It is separate from WinForms, however you can use both, because they do different things. That is a good goal to shoot for, and already possible as long as...

When looking at things like Java and .Net it is all about the implementation on a given platform. Bringing something from one os to another that "isnt" supposed to be OS dependent shouldnt get a speed boost, at least not one that is "noticable", uless one particular implementation is better...

SBS 2003 vs. Windows Server 2003, Std Edition

SBS 2003 is a VERY good product, far better than SBS 2000. SBS is limited to 75 Users, so you have plenty of room. Also, you can have more than one server on the network, and even a backup domain controler, you just cant have 2 SBS servers. You cant trust other domains and forrests, and the...

Umm, wouldnt they have to actually get it all working first? While many of your comments fair, this one was just silly. There is no reason to think that .Net would run better on linux, especially when you consider the GUI side of it.

Actually, as far as SUS goes you can set a Group policy on which SUS Server to connect to, and 2k boxes can download the xp update client pushed by a policy. You dont have to go to each box.
