X2 3800+

[Xpage]

Does the x2 line support ECC unbuffered memory?

 

[MiranoPoncho]

Nope. However you can enable it via a64 tweaker.

Actually they do, it's just that most motherboards dont.

Erm, I kinda needed switch that..

Only intel cpu's can take advantage of the performance gains provided by ECC registered memory.

Ugh, not another one. MODS??

Or incase you are really just that foolish, ECC=Error checking and correction, it does not give a performance gain, it actualy decreases performance just like registered memory.

Yes! Tom's recently did an article where it showed that Intel's Processors gained 20% in performance from using ECC dual channel ram instead of regular old single channel ram. Half Life 2 saw a 50% performance increase, going from the 256MB regular Ordinary ram to the 2x 256 ECC dual channel ram. After seeing the huge performance increases ECC gives, it would be stupid not to use anything but ECC. Too bad AMD 64s and X2s don't support ECC memory and can't even gain performance using ECC like Intel can.

I put some ECC ram in my 865 based mobo and suddenly i was setting benchmark records in minesweeper.

Just a note in case you wanted one for gaming. Do a search here for threads with people saying they have to disable one core for some games. Also, that X2 3800+ is less powerful than a socket 754 3400+ 2.4 GHz (Newcastle). (136 fps vs. 151 fps in UT2004)

I hope you are jokeing!!

The performance increase is due to (1) using Dual Channel huge gain for p4, and (2) doubleing the RAM.

Don't be stupied, ECC is a ERROR checking mechianism nothing more. It will indeed slow ones ram down with everything else being equal.

*pssst*
He's just calling SIF as a troll that needs a vacation/permaban (and being flamboyant about it, too).

And man do they need it..

Not that it helps them take advantage of anything other than another Intel CPU..

I think Hacp was being sarcastic, as in many other threads where ignorant people make such foolish statements.

Alright guys, read that post a couple times. SIF is not trolling, he is just joking around. Mind you that can get obnoxious, but everytime he posts something ten different people always have to yell at him for trolling.

Hmm you only have 13 posts right now, yet it seems like so many more. Guess that can only be because each one contains as much BS as 10 normal BS posts.

Well it's basically trolling. It isn't funny, and it isn't truthful. What can it be, besides trolling?

Somebody was just paid a visit by the Sarcasm Czar!

i'm thinking of using it with a Tyan MB that supports 393 and ECC unbuffered memory. I would prefer to sue a 175 opteron but they still aren't out in volume yet, even though AMD said they should be out by now.

The rig isn't for gaming either.

 

[Cerb]

With non-registered RAM, you can't use as much RAM at full speed. If you're going to use 1GB (2x512) or 2GB (2x1GB), that should be fine. If more, you'll have to, at best, drop the command rate, and possibly run at slower actual speed (depends on the mobo's options). If you can do 2x2GB, you might get 4GB, but don't necessarily count on that working w/ unbuffered RAM (maybe check if the mobo has a compatibility list of high-capacity DIMMs, though...)

 

[Hanpan]

You guys are hilarious.

My own internal testing showed intel with no ram at all is faster than anything else on the market. Power consumption was at 0W as well. Hell I didn't see anything but black on my screen everything went to fast

/intel troll...

 

[ssvegeta1010]

Pssst... SIF is making all ridiculous posts in order to mock Dothan, etc. Don't take his stuff seriously.

 

[Xpage]

yeah it will be a 2x1GB config for a ttoal of 2GB so I cna keep 1T timing, later on I may boost it to 4GB but that depends if we need to then i can suffer 2T timing but for now basic system will do fine

 

[the splat in the hat]

wtf disabling a core , lve not had to yet , games installed and played ,
bfv , bf2 , star wars battlefront , act of war, race driver, far cry, half life 2 , doom 3 , vice city, and even old battlezone 2.

still have a few to install and run , only had it a couple weeks...
