    *Official Athlon 64 and FX51* 15 reviews, ANANDTECHS IS UP!!!! P4EE is not the clear winner as some people say ;)

    Where did you get that? AMD specifies 89W as the max for the entire line of Athlon 64 chips, including those that will be released in the future! Check this out: http://www.aceshardware.com/#75000419 Leo

    nForce 2

    They will not be listed, because there is no concept of dividers in the nForce chipsets. Dividers are needed when there is only one clock generator for the buses, and therefore the divider specifies how each bus relates to another. But the nForce chipsets have three independent clock generator...

    nForce 2

    Well, I don't know of any reviews, but anyone who owns an nForce mobo can readily attest to the fact that the FSB can be adjusted independently of PCI. There is no mention of any dividers in the BIOS. Instead, there is the "CPU/PCI Frequency" adjustable as "133/33", "134/33"", etc. I'm sure some...

    nForce 2

    What is this talk about the FSB/PCI/AGP dividers? What from I understand, the nForce1 and nForce2 chipsets have done away with the "divider" word, because they have three independently generated clocks, one of FSB, one for PCI, and one for AGP. "Independently generated" is the key, hence no for...

    Will we EVER see 10kRPM ATA drives?!

    Yup, there is no technological reason why not. As a matter of fact, there had been precedents. Quantum Fireball LM (though not Fireball AS) was the ATA reincarnation of an older SCSI drive. Leo

    Will we EVER see 10kRPM ATA drives?!

    A minor correction. That performance comparison holds for many desktop applications, where data locality aspect is high (that is, subsequent seeks are likely to land fairly close to each other). In server applications, where the heads fly all over the drive, SCSI drives with better seek times...

    Will we EVER see 10kRPM ATA drives?!

    That's right. Cheetah 15K.3, which is a 15,000 rpm drive, is more quiet than IBM 60GXP and WD1200JB. It is also cool enough to be used without active cooling. Check out storagereview.com. This is the review link: http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200209/20020901ST373453LW_1.html And this is...

    Will we EVER see 10kRPM ATA drives?!

    Technically speaking, any drive can be equipped with either the SCSI or the ATA interface and still have the same internal mechanics. Therefore, 10K ATA drives are certainly possible (and 15K ATA drives, too, by the way). Just strip their respective SCSI twins of the extra SCSI chip. But you...

    512MB MEMORY XMS3200 CMX512-3200C2 $185

    Well, the Corsair sticks we're talking about do 166 MHz at 2-2-2, and 200 MHz at 2-3-3. Leo

    512MB MEMORY XMS3200 CMX512-3200C2 $185

    Congratulations! But I doubt all sticks could do the same. If all could, then that memory would not have been sold as PC2100 Level 2, but rather as PC2700 Level 2, or something. Leo

    512MB MEMORY XMS3200 CMX512-3200C2 $185

    Please, aren't we forgetting something? The label PC3200 means that the memory does 200MHz by spec! (And 200 is more than 190, as far as I know.) The Corsair memory in question, however, does 200MHz at CAS2, too. Which means it can go even further, if you run it at CAS 2.5, etc. Keep that in...

    Duron 1200/1300 vs Thunderbird 1200/1333

    Athlon is faster, because: (1) You can run your memory at 133 MHz with Athlon, and only at 100 MHz with Duron. (2) Duron has a castrated cache. Leo

    .13-micron R300 will be faster than NV30

    In a sense, you're right. The competition from AMD did change Intel's plans about Pentium 4. But not in the way you think. On the contrary, if not for the competition, Intel would have never released the Willamette. It was a premature version of Pentium 4, while Northwood was what Intel had in...

    VIVO GPU or TV Tuner?

    Hello, I wonder, is it enough to have a video-in on a graphics card to be able to hook up a VCR, and watch and capture video? Or does one have to have a TV tuner card? And if so, what is the purpose of a video-in? Leo

    DDR2100 or DDR2700?

    << I wouldn't mix-match the two, unless you plan to go all 2700's. Unless your mobo is able to use 2700's why even buy it? >> Any mobo that supports PC2100 also supports PC2700. They will all run on the same memory bus, anyway, and you won't tell PC2700 from PC2100 at 133MHz. :) (And you...

    Problem using 3 sticks of DDR SDRAM

    Can't run more than one stick of Memory - Help

    When you say "a single stick works," did you try EACH of your sticks separately? Maybe you just have bad sticks. I've had Crucial fail on me, Mushkin fail on me. Good brand is not necessarily a guarantee of good memory, it is a guarantee of prompt replacement. :) That, and it fails not as often...

    Question only for the nerdiest of nerds: What happens to IDE RAID 0 if I upgrade the motherboard to a new RAID mboard?

    Back up your data, move the drives to the new motherboard, reinitialize the array, restore the data from the backup. Leo P.S. By the way, one cannot "upgrade" a motherboard. One can upgrade a CPU, a hard drive, a video card, a sound card, etc. etc. But a new motherboard = new computer.

    Best PC for my needs ...

    You don't need RAID. A single WD1200JB with 120GB of storage and 8MB cache should fill all your needs. Just make sure you don't confuse the JB version with the BB version (the latter only has 2MB cache, for a dramatic difference in performance). It can be had for somewhere in the ballpark of...

    PCI Latency

    Hello, folks! Could anyone tell me how PCI latency works. My mobo (A7N266-E) has it at 32 by default, though I've heard it might not be an optimal setting. Is it better to have it higher or lower, and why? Any insight would be most appreciated. Leo

    First of all, RAID 0 only improves data transfer rates, it doesn't do the same for access time.
