    Which motherboard for my i7?

    Quick question: DDR3 1600Mhz 6GB 3x2GB from OCZ (OCZ3G1600LV6GK; that's "gold" plated series) or Kingston (KHX12800D3LLK3/6GX; HyperX ) and why?? Price is the same, specifications are the same. Lifetime warranty on both. It's one of the top 5 user-rated boards at NewEgg and it's also one of...

    Buy now or wait until b.t.School ???

    Wow, you and I are almost on the same page. I'm also on a P4 3.4 XE system with a Sapphire X1950 Pro, and I've just bought a i7 920 D0 as well. However, I haven't had any upscaling problems. Strange. I've also listed a number of what I perceive to be good mobos and asked for guidance here...

    Which motherboard for my i7?

    I came here intending to make an almost identical thread, and since you have made this one, I'll just tag along: I'm building a new system. I've already bought a i7 920 of D0 stepping. Main use of the system will be gaming, video playback and digital imaging &3D modelling/animation software...

    Getting RAM: Kingston HyperX vs. ValueRAM?

    Well then I wasn't wrong thinking that running an Intel CPU on an Intel board has gotta be more stable than anything else when I was first getting this mainboard years ago. I don't believe it will run at CL2 if specification updates and revision are anything to rely on. "Officially", CL2.5 and...

    Getting RAM: Kingston HyperX vs. ValueRAM?

    Ironically, my mainboard is Intel D865GLC and yes, it's JEDEC. However, I looked at the manual and specification updates of my mainboard again, and it says JEDEC revision 1.0, so I found the DDR400 JEDEC 1.0 revision documentation on Intel's website. Take a look yourself if you want...

    What's most needed for a Photoshop Box?

    I found some articles on Windows support on how to enable 4 gb memory support if the system doesn't seem to recognize it, and also an article for memory that is recognized 256 mb less than complete 4 gb. Btw, this is irrelevant but I just saw that there is a 256 mb physical memory limit on XP...

    What's most needed for a Photoshop Box?

    As far as I know, XP (both 32 64 bit) supports up to 4 GB of memory, out of the box, so you should do ok with XP. edit: Memory Limits for Windows Releases From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx

    Getting RAM: Kingston HyperX vs. ValueRAM?

    I am thinking about overclocking but I haven't made up my mind for sure. Stability and low temperatures are important for me. So, what I'm most interested in with HyperX is the heat spreaders, and that should be all the better if finally decide to overclock. Apart from that, I'm concerned about...

    Getting RAM: Kingston HyperX vs. ValueRAM?

    I've been looking at Kingston* 184pin DDR400 deals to up my memory and, Value Ram and HyperX prices are quite close to each other in my area, so I concluded that I could just as well opt for HyperX. However, I'm not sure if I can use HyperX sticks and if I will benefit from HyperX over ValueRAM...
