take this variation into > consideration. > I'm not much of a memory expert but don't memory manufacturers have to work to an industry standard? So, DDR-400 memory, for example, should work in any machine that uses DDR-400 memory? It seems bizarre...

modules can present less of a problem than unbuffered memory modules for upgrading memory (adding more memory modules) and allow for very large memory configs - 8 memory modules on a single Opteron (requires registered memory modules), for example. - Can...

the X1900 XT or X1900 XTX... Suggestions? I got the XT because I figured memory bandwidth wasn't a problem. The XTX with its higher clock is kinda overkill - I mean what's the difference whether you have 46.4 or 49.6 GB/s memory? The vast majority of...

using the Tyan S2885 and one using the S2875 and all use that chipset. No problems so far. Downside is that the S2885 natively only supports USB 1.1, so you have to get a PCI card for USB 2.0 support. The S2875 and S2875S have recently added a couple...

It already beats the 3.2 P4, and once the boards/memory and process has matured, things will only get better. I think that it will at least compete with the new pentium. For the A64 to really shine though, it will need cas 2 memory and a few tweaks here and...

Thanks guys, appreciated it. IF you do add more memory make sure you add the same brand (model #) and timing you have in there now, unless you find a good deal on 2x1gig sticks. DDR400 memory isn't cheap, you will probably pay like $120+ for 1gig,...

chip. Now, I know that they have an integrated memory controller eliminating much latency to system memory, but in the CPU guide it says that AMD64's have an 800mhz FSB HT link with DDR400 memory controller built in. Coming from pentium 4 systems, I...

so adding extra or better memory won't help your memory bandwidth much but should improve BF2 performance. I recommend getting 2 x 1Gb DDR400 sticks so when you upgrade to P4 w/ 800fsb (or athlon64) you can use the full 2Gb. Well the P4 i have is ...

I read. Hell, it took AMD about two years to integrate the memory controller, otherwise Opteron/Athlon 64 would've been out about two years ago. Even with the memory controller, P-M still wouldn't have the Hypertransport, so no answer to Opteron yet, but...
