I've been reading up lately in preparation for buying a new system, but
there are a lot of things you are apprently just supposed to know already. I
suspect I know the answer to some of these already, but just in case...
Are all P4 800Mhz processors dual channel?
Does dual channel memory have to be installed in pairs? If so, does the
memory have to be 'paired' to work effectively?
Does lower latency memory help automatically, or must some settings be
changed in BIOS?
What is registered memory?
What is the approximate performance penalty for using ECC (in percentages)?
I've read a couple of times that lower CAS and RAS latencies make memory
access quicker, but don't increase bandwidth. How can lower latencies not
lead to higher bandwidths?
