Which ram?

[Zebo]

4400+ seems to be the best bang for buck.

Only $252 for second core.

I still think you should go for the 3.4GHz Intel. Think about how much cooler that sounds. I mean seriously would you rather say to someone: "My computer has a three point four gigahurts processor." OR "My, my, my l337 b0x has a 4400+ which is a PR speed rating for teh l3e7. It plays CS like whoa and it roxors your boxors. OMG, I'm so l3et :barf;"

Yes, but I can reply that my CPU is 4.4 ghz.

4.4>>>>3.4

hth.


Excellent point however.

Nope, didn't catch it.

This is a common mistakes for noobies (You) so I understand the awful, ugly horrible error.

Thank you.

You're saying 3.4ghz is slower than 2.4ghz, lol give me a break. That's like saying a Porsche that hits 190mph is slower than a Civic that can only hit 80mph.

AMD is a thirdworld chipset manufactorer that makes cheap knockoff Intel chips.

I'm guessing you don't like America. The only reason a person would buy AMD over Intel is irrational hatred for the US of A.

lol @ your mental dissability.

if you can say that, then you can get a dual 3.2 intel which equals 6.4 ghz.

6.4>>>>4.4>>>>3.4

now you're catching on

Also, you called his mistake an "awful, ugly horrible error", which not only is incorrect grammar...

now you sound like a childish tehgamer...

a word of advice. whatever fatty says, assume he means the opposite. this interpretation will yield his correct meaning more often than not. someone told me yesterday he doesn't communicate his irony well - but they are wrong. it is subtle, and subtle irony and sarcasm are out of place here as so few seem to understand it. he does it to provoke -i must assume this as it is clear many don't understand and are upset by him - and that makes it annoying. but when you get worked up and pissed off, trust me he is sitting back and laughing. don't read his posts, don't posts replies to him and you will be happier. kinda like when i stopped tuning into rush limbaugh.

okay, guys these threads have all turned into flame wars.

lets just let this thread die

 

[imported_Phil]

Well, we apparently must reply, so I think you should go with a VIA C3 processor and underclock it. Trust me, it'll kick the ass of Xeon workstations every day. VIA 4 evar omglolzrox0rzzz!!oneeleven!

 

[PhlashFoto]

I just overclocked my oven to cook my food faster.

There, I replied.

You're correct. Ram is a big time decision. If you aren't big on gas mileage then go with the Dodge Ram Laramie Quad Cab 4WD. It's got a 5.7L 330 hp V8 so you can haul all kinds of stuff! And enough cab space to haul your own army! I think it has one of them Cee-Pee-Eww units in it somewhere, and it has a clock in the dashboard you can set fast (over-clock) or set it slow (under-clock).

Best of luck with your decision!

You forgot to specify the long bed with dualies... or don't you want extra tires? Don't be bringing up that Value Ram crap in a performance thread, n00b.

You called him a noobie, which btw is different from newbie. Noobie implies that the said person acts like they know everything, whereas in reailty, the said person does not. Newbie implies that the person is new to whatever subject is being discussed, and does not know much yet.

What does n3wb imply?

Yes, you could say that. You could also say that you're the Lord Jesus Christ, but you'd still be lying.

Excellent point, indeed!

I'm also very intrigued by "hth." Is this some new acronym all the the cool kids are using these days?

He cut a pin off his VIA chip and stuck it on his 939 chip. Problem solved.

WRONG! I had a 940 pin AMD chip and I cut one off and stuck it in a 939 board. All the extra pin is for is the ECC to check memory errors. Since I'm not using ECC memory, I don't need that pin so I cut it off. It's the smartest thing I ever did.

isn't the actual memory controller of the opterons different from that of the A64's because it uses registered instead of unregistered ram? Meaning it wouldn't work with normal ram (ie in a s939 board) even if you made it fit?

Yes, you are correct. This "registered" is also called ECC or in Latin: "Errore Compt Che-king". Which is where ECC comes from. It's a technology of the rich and famous. Me being not so rich, should not endulge myself in such features. It's amazing that it only takes one extra pin to do the magic, but I say goodbye to the pin and hello to a new tomorrow!

Everyone needs to reply. (process of responding to this thread.)

ECC ram and registered ram are two different things. What I meant is isn't the actual memory controller on the die different, meaning it can't work with non-registered ram?

Yes sir.

To answer your question: don't get either of those. Get value ram and run a divider. Just as fast but half the price.

Make sure it is regular SDRAM, and not that fancy, DDR stuff, which is just a marketing gimmick. And take back that AMD and get a Celeron. They are sooo much faster, especially when paired with SDRAM. Why do you think HP and Compaq put that combo in so many computers a few years back?

The man said I needed to reply, and hey, who am I to stick it to the man?

About the "CPU" thing, and how he says you should get celeron instead of amd, I second that. I was at the supermarket and the celery was on sale much cheaper than the other veggies and the nice sales clerk told me that celeron is actually "overclocked" celery so hey why not!!.?

As for that DDR stuff, my feet were never fast enough.

Might you take a picture and highlight which pin we should remove please? I would like to do this also!
