I just installed a gigabyte ga-8sg667 (533fsb) board with a stick of 256 meg of crucial ddr ram. The settings for the cas in the bios looks like 6-2-2-2-then something else (3 i think). Now i'm not overclocking the ram at all but are these the best optimized settings? If they're not does anyone...

I recently got a gigabyte 8sg667 fsb533/400 motherboard with a p4 2.4b ghz 533 fsb. The board unoffically supports ddr400 (they have a recommended ddr400 memory list) My thing is would it be safe enough and stable enough for me to just go and install DDR433 memory instead? Anandtech did a review...

Sorry for the long post but if it's to long to answer does anyone know of a place where i can find a article about ddr in depth? Thanks

Oh one more thing, I've heard and read that many people are having problems running Cosair xms seriers of ddr ram in conjuntion with a sis chipset mother board. Most of these reports are from people who tend to overclock so i'm wondering if this memory will run stable with a sis chipset board if...

Sorry for my ignorance but i'm a former Rdram user and this ddr thing is driving me bonkers. I keep thinking the higher the pcxxxx the better it will be. Okay, Now what happens if i don't overclock the processor but overclock the memory up to 4xx mhz using pc3200/pc3500? Would i get any...

Can someone explain to me if there is any difference in running pc3500 at 333 compare to pc2700 at 333? I know people overclock their memory but do you really have to do it inorder to get maximuam benefit from it? would i get any benefit over pc2700 if i ran pc3500 at 333 speeds? I've read +...

Oh my processor is a p4 2.4b ghz. With the whole dual channel ddr coming on soon it also makes me wonder if i should invest in ddr400 ram. Mrconfused

how big is the room where you are planning to using the speakers for? If you are going for budget speakers + some quality then maybe you might want to look into creative's new 6.1 speaker set. It's 120 watts total but it's got 6 speakers, center, left, right, rear left, rear right and rear...

Hi all, I 've recently placed an order for the gigabyte GA-8SG667 motherboard. Anandtech did a review of this board on the site and what's cool about it is that the board can run with 3 dimms of ddr400 from mushkin with no problems. The question is, would it be a worthwhile investment for me...
