Marketing would hurt them more than help them at this point. They can barely produce enough processors to satisfy the (unmarketed) demand. Now what happens when they advertise? Demand goes up by quite a bit... that'll lead to pretty high prices because they can't make enough processors to...

I've got an idea. Wait until dual core athlon 64's are out, and then it won't matter because you'll have real SMP anyway.

Hence the reason of PCIe is "to waste our money" (as quoted up there).

I got $20 that says it's fine...

This type of thing typically happens if you pick your mouse up (well, it really happens when you put it down) and/or have a patterned, partially reflective mousing surface.

Gee, I don't know, maybe he turned it on and walked to the other end?

I wouldn't spend the dollars on an upgrade that's probably only going to get you a 300 mhz increase. That's not even noticable to most people. Save up for an a64 or something.

BH-5 chips are rated for 3.6v. TCCD can't get all that much higher than bh-5... mine can do 262 mhz with enough voltage, and keep the 2-2-2 timings. I'm also pretty sure that if the timings were loosened, the memory would scale even higher. Most TCCD, from what I've seen/read, tops out around...

Why not? All you'd absolutely need to upgrade when you go over to another socket (say, 939) is the waterblock. It's not like getting a different motherboard means your radiator needs upgraded.

I so posted this article yesterday in that other thread about cell...

That would be VERY hard (hypothetically). For one, the pencil's probably too thick, but that's not the hard part... the pins are hypothetically bent, so it'll be a bitch to get it on there without either bending more pins or breaking the hypothetically bent pin off. And, of course, you need a...

200/240 = .8333 1/1 = 1 Nah, it's not 1:1. it's 5:6 (or 6:5 as all you backwards people like to say it).

I'm convinced all the stuff about cell is mostly hype, especially after reading this article right here.. http://www.blachford.info/computer/Cells/Cell0.html So much of it is based around being cheap, which I doubt it will be. 5 years of research and a brand new fab to use your brand new 65nm...

Yes, running two 512mb dimms on an nforce2 will make overclocking to anything past, say, 220 fsb a MAJOR pain in the ass... this is assuming they are double sided dimms, which most are. The nforce2 doesn't cope very well with double sided dimms at high speeds, because it's basically like having...

It should be 33mhz... anyway, I imagine you wouldn't get any problems running it at something like 45 mhz (that'd probably show up as 22.5 for you, since it seems to be dividing by 2), but you might. Just give it a shot... chances are the worst that could happen is you will have to reboot.
