No worries. Sure someone on here would know.
So everyone, what is the performance impact of not running 1:1? Can I get away with PC2-6400 or would I be better with PC2-7200? I can't stretch to PC2-8000 unless I just get a 1GB DIMM and then get another later when (if) they go down in price?
Thanks for the advice Exterous.
Would overclocking the FSB require me to use faster than 800MHz RAM? If I want to get to a 450MHz FSB I would need 900MHz RAM wouldn't I?
I've only ever bought OEM CPUs and never had a problem. Might go retail for the longer warranty and also so I can see if it...
Forgot to ask: Is it worth paying more for RAM to try and keep a 1:1 divider? Would DDR2-900MHz be fast enough for OCing a e6300? Does it slow it down much if I don't use a 1:1 divider. I'm most interested in gaming performance so would I be better off getting a X2 3800 and a faster GPU?
I'd put a RAID adapter in an older PC and connect over the network but you can pick up some pretty discounted IDE drives now if you don't need SATA. You may find this link helpful: Comparison of nine Serial ATA RAID 5 adapters
I'm buying new innards for my current Athlon 64 but please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving it; particularly on whether it is worth getting DDR2-900MHz rather than DDR2-800MHz and my choice of mobo. I wanted 2GB of RAM but DDR2 is so expensive. Would I hurt performance much...
Thanks Matthias. Sorted that one out for me. Can all RAID controllers access all disks on a RAID 1 array (including ones commonly built in to motherboard and my old Promise FastTrack 66)?
I've got a RAID 0 at the moment but may make it RAID 1 as the disks are quite old now.
Could someone please explain why RAID 1 is not faster when reading data than a single drive?
The same data should be present on both disks, so why are requests for data not shared between the drives assuming multiple requests are being made?
Would there be anything a controller could do to...
I've ben looking on the internet and it seems that the ALC880D or ALC880(D) codec has Dolby Digital Live encoding. Hopefully I will be upgrading soon and I'd rather stay with AMD than shift to Intel but I cannot find any AMD boards with Dolby Digital Live encoding. I've got a NF2 mobo now and I...
The issue I am experiencing is as follows:
I played through part of the game on medium and then decided to do it on hard. It seems that if you start playing from a different part of the game, saved games from the other are lost. This does not appear to happen when playing straight through...
