This is what I suspect too. I have a different question then. If I buy 2x512mb PC4000 RAM and run it in a 1:1 ratio with the CPU, my theoretical memory b/w will have increased from my current 3.11GB/s (6.22GB/s, dual-channel) to 3.88GB/s (7.76GB/s, dual-channel). Will this increased B/W...

Do you mean I should set the CPU:RAM ratio to 1:1 and overclock my FSB incrementally to see how far my memory can handle? At 2.8E, my 2x512MB PC3200 sticks are running at 1:1 at 200mhz and they are fine. I haven't tried taking it beyond 200mhz. After doing this, if my memory fails...

My Prescott 2.8E is currently overclocked to 3.4ghz with a FSB of 243. The CPU voltage on the Abit IS7 is 1.6625 V. The DDR voltage is 2.6V on my 2x512mb PC3200 setup. (1x512mb is a no-name Legacy brand and the other 1x512mb is a Mushkin value brand). Through the BIOS, the 2x512mb DDR400...

Quoted for truth.

Yes.

haha, you wish. :D

The review test rig should've been better matched to the 6800GT being used. The CPU is really slow and a bottleneck for the GT. Next time, a faster rig and with a better mobo and RAM should be used--see Anandtech's review systems for reference.

What an embarrassed dolt! You showed him, Evil!! This guy is hilarious to the point of being ridiculous.

Using generic RAM can often save you lots of money while keeping the performance level very similar to pricier brand-name RAM. However, they do have a lower ceiling in terms of overclockability, reliability, and compatibility. If you got lucky and got generic RAM modules that satisfy your...

Buy a magazine then.

You didn't, by any chance, come from the Driverheaven or Rage3D did you? :lol:

What a dum-dum. :D

Exactly. Before the Catalyst series, ATI drivers were harshly criticized b/c their official release and shipping drivers were very flawed. In this case, you can't criticize the 60.72 drivers b/c they're BETA and not official ones.

Hi, I've never used any PVR (personal video recording) hardware and software before. I want to try it now because there is an awesome drama I have on VHS tape that I want to transfer to DVDs. So, I went searching and decided that a HAUPPAUGE WINTV PVR 250 TV TUNER PCI CARD would do the...
