    Would a 14x USB2.0 flash memory stick RAID yield read/write performance beyond the 480Mbit limit for uber l33tness?

    Do all devices on the usb motherboard controller share 1x 480Mbit bandwidth that they must all share? If not would a raid of usb memory sticks potentially yield massive results? I have 14x usb ports combining all the ports on my tower and computer monitor. Perhap if I got 30-40 usb...

    I have an MSI P965 mobo that I'd like to overclock further but at 2.65ghz (~250mhz OC) my OCZ memory is already at 885mhz. I obviously can't keep pushing memory like that if I want to reach 2.8ghz or 2.9ghz How do get memory speeds that aren't 1:1 with fsb speeds? My Mobo manual says nothing...

    Ram slot placement question

    On the 3dmark site top scorers put the ram sticks in the 1st and 3rd slot, I heard that disables dualchannel capabilities... Is that so they are farther apart and can be cooled better? I usually have my ram in the same PAIR of slots eg(#1 & #2) or (#3 & #4)

    Why don't games support quad-linear filtering yet?

    I'm curious as to why no games or programs use quad-linear filtering with or without mip-mapping. This feature have been available in both hardware and drivers for mipmapping by Nvidia since the Geforce3 Ti series, and likely nearly as long by ATI. http://techreport.com/articles.x/3203/1 The...
