    Best 2GB Memory 2x1GB Dual Channel

    First off, I have a AMD64 3200 that clocks to 2.7 stable with OCZ rev 2 platinum, *special thanks to Anandtech for the article about this Ram 5 months ago should it to be very good. Anyway, as a musician, I have read conflicting reports, some that say you can put 4x512 modules in a Gigabyte...

    Overclocking LAPTOPS? AMD64 vs Intel Centrino

    My winchester with 1 GB 2x512 3200 overclocks stable at 2.75 ghz. Which is about FX 5800 without 1 MB cache...or AMD 64 4000. So am curious as to what (if any laptops) overclock well. I know a lot has to do with the bios correct? As well as the motherboard so which motherboards (brand I...

    MOBILE Laptops (overclocking) Intel vs AMD?

    1st, gaming will be secondary, audio use first and firewire needed on laptop. Wondering if anyone has experience with Celeron M/Pentium M (Centrino) AMD mobile 64 chips and how (which brand) overclocked well?!? There are quite a bit of deals on P4 Centrino but with Intel Intergrated...

    Which SATA are locked? Ultra 939 Nforce3

    Surely someone knows which SATA ports are locked? I was told once (I think) that it was the nvidia ones (near the AGP)... Please help. Thanks.

    Which SATA are locked? Ultra 939 Nforce3

    No I am sure that the Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939 has two (2) locks for SATA? No?

    Which SATA are locked? Ultra 939 Nforce3

    THanks but the Gigabyte manual gives the following: SATA0_SB/SATA1_SB (near agp) (Nvidia?) SATO0_SII/SATA1_SII (away from agp) (Silicon Interface?) Problem is, if it's the second set (away from AGP) it's not going to work, I get pops and crackles when I record audio.

    CPU temps with 3000+ winchester

    I'm not sure about your RAM, but most of the errors can be attributed to the DDR. Some OCZ will get you stable (TCCD). Also, the .09's like 1.425 volts too, not sure why this is, but I am at 10x270 super pi error free using OCZ rev 2. idel 38-39C. I also have cool and quiet disabled as well...

    Is AMD going to be in trouble 2006?

    Agreed. I'm seeing the 3200 at 10x275 and up, crushing speeds, and LOW temps (39C) at 1.425 vcore vs my XP 2600 at 60C. My predictions: Intel is behind in the dual core race to some extent, especially with 64 bit chips, however, MSFT delayed 64 bit OS to accomodate INTEL..which is ok, AMD...

    SATA Locks on K8NSULTRA (serial HD's)

    I'm getting a SATA drive soon (advice?) and wanted to know which ports where locked and which where not? I read in various forums that those closest to the AGP are usally locked, is this true? I also run OCZ Plat. rev 2, 2x512 at 2.5-4-4-10-1T, FSB 270 (OC around 2.7), I can actually get it...

    AMD64 3200 10x275 easy (run idle at 38C), Higher?

    I haven't done Prime yet, as I'm do like all the settings/changes it makes to my system. For me, I think Super Pi is good enough (at least 16MB). Still, it's strange, but I talked to OCZ and they told me the DDR OCZ rev. 2 plat is rated for 266 at least, so 10-275 is pushing it a little...

    AMD64 3200 10x275 easy (run idle at 38C), Higher?

    I need to clarify....air for me = stock heatsink/fan, maybe for you too, but most of the time it's some sort of vacum cleaner tornado,

    athlon64 3200+ winchester low marks

    Yes, what are your memory timings and HT settings as well as multiplier settings. This is the first step. These days the memory (due to the Hypertransport bus) plays a major role in overall performance, and the settings are quite different from the non 64 CPU's

    AMD64 3200 10x275 easy (run idle at 38C), Higher?

    Well I can reach 10x280 but there are errors in memtest+ and SuperPi, yet none in my audio program. It's strange though...10x276 Fine @1.425 vcore, 10x280 not fine, haven't gone beyond 1.6 vcore though. But if knowone else has reached this (2.8) then I might as well not bother, as 38-40%...

    Whoo, so many questions..... Ok, got it last week from Newegg, retail heat sink. Runs 38-39C idle. Throttle disabled. PSU is stock JustPC extreme Case (they look cool and are quiet, no side fans, quiet needed for audio work), will upgrade to OCZ Powerstream later, although I might never...

    Hey there. AMD64 3200 @ 2.760, v-core still at 1.425, 10x275, runs all benchs perfect, including superpi 1/2/4/8 MB. Motherboard Giga K8NS Ultra 939 V-core at 1.425. Memory timings: 2.5-4-4-10-1T Here is where it gets strange. I can really do 10x276 with hardly any problems yet a...

    Highest V-core a AMD64 3200 can handle?

    A few questions. a) what is the highest c-core a AMD 64 3200 can handle? b) What benefits, if any, would one have say using a 10 vs 11 multiplier? c) what is the highest with NO ERRORS that this chip has seen? thanks

    My thoughts on Newegg.com

    I've also read recently that they have changed their POLICY regarding mother boards. One poster at another forum said he called and they told him it meant he/she could return for a full refund, another poster at another site said just the opposite, that he couldn't even exchange it for the...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    I think anyone that pays more than $175.00 for the NON SLI or even the SLI is insane. !st it's been proved that a raptor single 10,000 gives better performance than any raid systems (real world), NCQ has also been proven to take up some CPU resources, 3rd these boards where supposed to be out...

    No MORE RMA's for Motherboards at NEWEGG.

    I just saw this at mad onion. This bites. What say you? Always thought newegg was known for it's excellent service....now it appears they are getting to many returns on their MSI boards. It used to read, apparently, that the MSI NEO 2 for AMD64 could be exchanged for same item only...

    4GB of RAM

    Ok, well here's my questions, I was just about to buy a 939 board and 2x512 for 1 GIG running in dual, if I add another 2x512, it will run slower??? So what then if I just order 1 stick of 1 GIG ram for now, and another down the road, and have 2 gigs running in dual. This is better for dual...

    Ga-K8NS Ultra-939 (Does it support winchesters)

    Why is this board GA-K8NSNXP-939 almost $90 more than the K8NS? I'm thinking these might be good for audio use since the audio vendors recommend T.I. lan. What do you guys/glas think about the K8NS? Or A8V, or MSI Neo Plat (here it's hit or miss with this board and places like new egg...

    AMD64 3000 .09 Winchester

    Audio VST Inputs which are extremely FPU intensive... For now, I'll start with one GIG RAM. Does the A8V have SATA locks? Or should I stick with nforce3 ultra boards...the Neo Plat seems to have a lot of problems though. Am also thinking about the gigabyte, thanks

    AMD64 3000 .09 Winchester

    So will the A8V, Gigabyte (nforce3) or Neo Plat all do ram dividers? The plan is to have 1 GIG first 2x512 then another 2x512 total 2 GIG running a 3000 at 2.5, 2.6, until the FX pricing drops. This OC won't effect other hardware devices (PCI sound card, AGP, etc) will it? Thanks

    When is the Iwill DK8ES coming out

    When will we see ANY nforce4 motherboards? Any at all. Ready to upgraade and almost did over the weekend (A8v), Neo Plat 2, but for me the NCQ is key and I really like that idea, even if it's not fully supported out the door. thanks
