Wanted to thank the guys who helped me in my newbish threads, with my build.
The thing is flying now.
Athlon X2 3800
ASUS A8N-E
XFX GEFORE 6800 GS
512 (ram...think i'm going to get 4 gigs in 2 weeks)
Enermax Liberty 500w
just damn awesome.
Gotta love AMD, 2nd chip from them and, just amazing.

But thanks again, to everyone who helped me out.

nice rig, well done

 

[kuba]

definitely, can't believe i used to be on a pentium 75, with 16 or was it 32 megs of RAM (lol)...10 years ago, when the home computer with internet just started to sprout and 14.4 was fast. haha
thanks thug

 

[leegroves86]

nice rig, we got the same motherboard and PSU
any pics?

 

[Howard]

4 gigs? Are you getting it for free?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

4gbs = slower than 2gb

 

[kuba]

you know, i was going to take some pics, like i saw one time here...spread everything over the table and snap some, but didn't.
my case is a centurion 530, nice piece of work.
the internal wiring just sucks, i got a total respect for you guys who take the time to do it, what a f'in pain in the you know what.

 

[kuba]

Howard: no, but since newegg has good prices, and we're going down States-side in a couple of weeks, thought i'd get a buddy to order some for me, all in one shot.


LOUISSS, it is?
how so?

When using 4GB (1GBx4), it will make you use DDR333 and T2 command rate. It makes it a lot slower. You are also limited on your overclocking capabilities.

 

[kuba]

so stick with 2?...plus i dont plan on overclocking, just stock, that's it.

 

[Bull Dog]

Yep stick with 2x1GB DIMMs, unless you really need the extra 2GB (WinXP has problems addressing the last GB however).

 

[kuba]

addressing the last of the 2nd gig? or last of the 4th if i go 4?

 

[martman]

as you can see in my specs below I have 4 gig installed...windows (XP)..only recognizes somthing in the neighborhood of 3.2 something ghz on my machine..

 

[potato28]

Theres very little difference between 2T and 1T on the AMD systems... Zebo made a arcticle on it a while ago and the max performence drop was in the neighborhood of like 8% or so. The real problem is XP adressing all the memory.

 

[RallyMaster]

Would XP-64bit be able to recognize the full 4GB? (I think it should...since my mobo supports 8GB on XP 64-bit)
