well i'm going against my plan, but i went ahead and purchased a stick from SVC. it should be here in a few days. assuming it gets here by the weekend, that's when i'll be building my new system since i already have the other parts. i'll let you guys know how the memory works out. thanks, eric...

i've run a search on pricewatch for "samsung original PC2700 512MB." only one page of results shows up, and of those results, only a handful are actually "original" samsung. of those, i have yet to call one and hear that they sell samsung chips on actual samsung PCB. its as if th...

is there any way to unsubscribe for a thread at this message board?

i've read a review @ Overclockers Australia that says the board has no firewire capabilities. but the review @ [H]ardOCP seems to be a little contradicting. under the features section of the first page of the review, a table is shown. in the FireWire row, it claims to have 3 IEEE-1394a ports. howeve...

roughly 150mph in a 911 Turbo...

lol...i didn't even realize i had that in my sig...must have done it a long time ago not thinking about message board rivalries

YES...

1 stick of memeory = 1 DIMM (dual inline memory module),

while a memory bank is just the slot on the mobo into which the memory is inserted

and getting 1 x 512 stick instead of 2 x 256 sticks won't effect performance at all?

i 2nd Motherboard Monitor 5 (MBM5). i have an ASUS CUSL2 mobo that temps from the thermal diode inside the CPU, the northbridge of the i815E chipset, and the case temp (i'm not sure where this particular diode is located on the mobo). MBM5 is able to detect these 3 sensors and up to 7 more if you ha...

ok, i just found out today that the new SiS648 chipset will support DDR266 in all 3 memory banks, but will take DDR333/366/400 in only 2 memory banks (correct this information if it is wrong please...). this leaves me in a bit of a dilemma, seeing as how my near future upgrade includes a board that ...

its been quite a while since i first posted this thread. since then i've read those reviews and one or two more from some other hardware review sites. but i guess somewhere in there, i failed to see the part about how many DIMMs could be filled with memory rated at certain speeds. i appreciate that ...

the good thing about this message board is that you can see the # of people who view your thread vs. the # of people who actually respond. DDR has been around for quite some time now...i thought for sure that someone could answer my questions

all the time i see DDR memory referred to in different notations, and i don't quite understand it all. i think i understand this much: 1) when it is referred to as DDR333, 333MHz is the clock speed at which SDRAM would have to operate to achieve the same data transfer rate, so the DDR333 is actually...

another question...i edited my original post to include it, but i don't know how many people will see it up there, so i thought i would post the question down here too... although the SiS648 doesn't officially support DDR400 memory, it has been tested by hardware reviewers and has been found to work...

well i read that article @ overclockers.com. it really wasn't ragging on the new SiS648 chipset. rather it was saying that, all other things (components) being equal in a system, the 10% performance gap shown by most hardware review sites that SiS and VIA chipsets will give you over an intel chipset...
