Dual DDR?

Two quality DDR400+ modules. Put them in the blue slots of the motherboard. At least DDR400 for the sake of overclocking and future upgrades.

To get the highest potential performance with your overclock, wait for the Gigabyte 8INXP motherboard. It should be available late Dec 2002 /Early Jan 2003. Pair it with two OCZ PC3500 Enhanced Latency (EL) memory modules and you're all set. OCZ PC3500 Enhanced Latency memory module reviews...

P4 at 4139 Mhz and -52°C

Does this not show that Asus P4G8X may be capable of supporting 800MHz QDR FSB Pentium4 processors? Why wait for springdale?

Completely agree about their past. Maybe through all the criticism they've devoted themselves to quality. Doesn't happen much in the industry. But, i think this time it did. Cheers!

Mobo Help needed - which one, RAM etc?

I wanted to choose at least DDR400 memory because down the road it will allow for a future upgrade to 800MHz QDR FSB Prescott processor. The memory bandwidth requirement for a 800MHz QDR FSB processor is 6.4GB/s. That can only be supplied by a motherboard capable of Dual-Channel DDR400 and...

Leadtek Nforce2 mother have PCI LOCK!

Hello again. Notice they said "certain overclocked FSB speeds." Did you read the PCI bus speed for FSB speeds around 200MHz (400MHz DDR)? I don't think you can read the PCI bus that way. You need a PC Geiger PCI bandwidth monitor - it cost $$$.

Leadtek Nforce2 mother have PCI LOCK!

Anandtech asks about PCI Lock on Leadtek K7NCR18D: "Leadtek has finally gotten back to us and, according to them, their K7NCR18D does not include a PCI bus lock at 33MHz, and therefore the PCI bus will be overclocked at certain overclocked FSB speeds."

Higher FSB is more important than clock speed. If you have two processors with different FSB speeds operating at the same clock speed, the one with the higher FSB will be faster. That is, a 2.4B overclocked to 3GHz is faster than a 2.66 overclocked to 3GHz. And more importantly, the C1 2.4B...
