So am I understanding this right?
If I use 4 512MB dimms, then I wont be able to overclock (much) past 200Mhz?
If that be the case, then the decision towards the cheaper 1GB dimms becomes an easier decision.
Actually buying the 3200 does make more sense. I just quoted the 3500 because thats all that Newegg had right now. They'll probably have the 3200 sometime next week I figure.
And is 3.3V safe for that memory? =
xWhat are the odds of me getting good chips with that memory? It would be quite unfortunate to drop nearly $250 on memory, then be stuck at 220mhz.
Additionally, do you really think thats better than 2x1GB CL 2.5, 1T. I'd have to run 2T with the Mushkin.
Zebo, can you post a link to that memory? Is this it? http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146190
Thats the closest thing I can find on Newegg.
Ok, before I bite the bullet I need some advice...
I'm planning on upgrading my system with the following:
DFI Lanparty NF4
A64 3500+ Venice
2x1GB Geil Ultra DDR400
Those components will replace the following thats currently in my system:
Asus A7N8X-E
AXP 2500+ @ 2.3Ghz (11.5x200)...
ok cool... "load spreading" is what I was asking about I guess...
Think makes my case for upgrading from a 1.7Ghz P4 (williamette) to a 3GHz P4 a lot better:)
Every benchmark I've ever seen on a dual processor setup only utilized one process at a time. What I want to know is if Hyperthreading or a dual processor system will allow you to multitask with speed. I dont use too many applications that are coded for more than one processor, but I...
Most of the decent HSFs I have seen have run in the $25 range... noting that price, I'd like to stick with retail if I can...
the Antec case I'm getting ishere
I'm building my girlfriend a computer in about 6 weeks. From the looks of it, I'll probably be getting an XP2100+ by then. I'll have it in a 300W Antec case with two, 34cfm case fans. This will be a relatively low budget system and I dont want to spend $20 extra on a fancy cooler. This sysetm...

I feel I should note that this computer will not be overclocked in the slightest bit. It will be my girlfriends (who is pretty much comp. illiterate), and stability is paramount. I'm leaving everything at its stock speed and want fast hardware out of the box.
arg... good article but it didnt really answer any burning questions... It seems the generic answer to my questions seems to be "It all depends..." It would seem at the moment that a 3Ghz+ P4 or Hammer would be the best way to go...
As a side note I dont frequently use high end rendering software, but would like that option open for the future. I'm an engineering coop, and thet prospect of me using AutoCAD or something that nature is possible
Well... I have a feeling the 3.06Ghz P4 with hyperthreading will be somewhat like a dual processor machine. Also, multitasking while I'm doing something CPU intensive would be nice also. I just dont know yet... The thought of dual 2.6Ghz Xeons makes me giddy though.
That is a little more than I need... I dont need USB 2.0... and I might not even need ddr333 (does this even help with the 266FSB Athlons?). This is for my girlfriend and she isnt much of a "power user"
I'll be upgrading my case/mobo/cpu in the spring and I was wondering the benefits of a dual processor machine over a single processor machine. Price isnt too much of an issue here, what I'll get will be very near top of the line. I was considering either dual Xeons, dual MPs, or Hammer.
Any...
In about a month I'll be building my girlfriend a new computer. I have $800 total to spend. As of now, I'm decided on an XP2000+ as the CPU (might pick up something faster in a month if prices drop).
I have nearly all of the parts picked out except for the mobo. I'm looking for a motherboard...
ATI cards dont overclock well... and considering this is a DV model, It will OC even more poorly. If you care *anything* about the longetevity of your card, leave it stock.
Ok... I got a 64MB Ti4200 not long ago... On need for speed 5, there is noticible frame shearing (especially in high action scenes), where the picture noticibly seems to break and shift horizontally. Its not a horrible problem, but it is a little disappointing. The card that got replaced (32MB...
Heres an even better idea... just get you some cheapo 8 or 16mb video card to put in your computer if its not ready in time. When the 9700 is released, sell the old one and get that:)
Intel has clearly stated that anything over 1.75 is *not* suitable for the P4... I would figure people would have more respect for thier $160 CPUs... geez... scoring a couple points higher on some benchmark isnt worth having your CPU burn in in 3 weeks... even if it is "stable" when you first...
Intel is holding back on AMD waiting to see what the Hammer does... the better Hammer is, the better Intel will make the P4...
Afterall, the only reason Intel is releasing a 2.8GHz P4 in a week is b/c of "slow sales"... meaning theyve had it ready for a while but have been holding back to...
