Essentially my question is what is MT/s and is there a big difference between 1600 MT/s and 2000 MT/s on a mobo?
Ok, there's a deal for a venice 3000+ athlon and a foxconn NF4K8AC-RS inc heatsink/fan for an amazing £130. The only review I can find is for the -8EKRS version of the board and it gets a very good review. (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1819)
So I thought this is too good to be true and on checking the difference between the -RS version in the bundle deal and the reviewed 8EKRS version I see the latter can do 2000 MT/s as well as 1600 MT/s whereas the former can only do 1600 MT/s.
Now I'm guessing this is some sort of bus speed. For the speed of the chip I'm getting (3000+ athlon) and what I'll be using it for (some games but mainly video editing and music composing with softsynths etc) is there much of a difference between 1600 MT/s and 2000 MT/s capability or will I realistically never go beyond 1600 anyway??
I've searched for info on this on google and here but haven't been able to find anything so any help would be much appreciated!
PS Any thoughts on foxconn?
