    RAM Timings- Command Rate

    Does anybody know if there is a benefit to setting your RAM to 1t Command Rate VS 2t? I have single 512MB DDR DIMM, it is currently 1t. It seems to run fine but if there is no really benefit (>5%) I would like to turn it down and raise the bus speed or some of the other timings; these are my...

    AMD owners- What do to do in the post nforce2 era?

    I recently built a new setup, AMD Athlon 2400+, Geforce 4 Ti4600 etc... However with the recent nforce2 launch I feel like an idiot. Granted, I purchased my motherboard back in July but still why did VIA release the KT333 chipset if it was extremely slow? The nforce2 scored 1000 more 3dmark...

    If you want English dub (Voices) you need to get the Xbox version. You can import the inferior DC version from Europe with Japanese dubbing and English subtitles.

    Got my AMD Athlon 2400+, need tips on OC

    The CPU comes unlocked from the factory, I could only select multipliers from 13-22 but people with KT400 chipsets (I have a Kt333) should be able to select multipliers from 7.5-22.

    Got my AMD Athlon 2400+, need tips on OC

    Yeah, the YS-Tech fans are awesome, I have two in my case. I'm going to drill two holes in on of my empty bays to expose the dials. When they get to 2600 rpms they are silent while still pushing out enough air for web browsing/word processing.

    Got my AMD Athlon 2400+, need tips on OC

    I have air cooling with an adjustable YS-Tech fan. I actually did not check the week on the CPU but remember these are not maximum results. I tried booting at 14 * 166 (2324) with 1.8v and it worked, got into windows and everything, I'm sure I could hit 2400 if I had the motivation. However, I'm...

    Got my AMD Athlon 2400+, need tips on OC

    I dropped the VCORE to 1.7 volts, still runs stable so I'll stay at this. My 3dmark score was ~11500 with 2200+ and is now ~12,400 with the 2400+ running at 166*13. Of course, the 2200+ tests were done with the Detanator 30.82 while the new test was done with the detonator 41.02.

    Anybody got one of those 2400+ chips running yet!!!

    I got mine today, runs ~40 degrees cooler than my 2200+. I haven't tried overclocking it. I have question though, is my CPU automatically unlocked - Can I just select any multiplier on my A7V333? Thanks

    AMD Stock Advice! Lets discuss the future of AMD

    Currently AMD's share value is $3.51. This is remarkable, and at first glance seems like the perfect oppurtunity. Since July I have waited to invest my life savings (Age 17 right now) into AMD and have seen AMD's stock fall from $9 to $3.51. With Hammer coming up we all know AMD is going to...
