pretty sure it's your testing software...
My preferred way of testing LAN speed, instal TeraCopy and copy some huge file from computer to computer, and see how it goes...
And wireless-n's claims of "300Mbps" are to be taken with a grain of salt, it may reach these speeds under very limited...
sorry for the necromancy, but this thread is one of the top results in a google search, so I thought I should add a rather simple solution: Install windows from a 64-bit ONLY disk. The problem seems to arise when the 32-bit installer for a 32/64 disc gets confused by the drivers. Sure, it's...
The way I see it...
Intel originally planned to release these chips at 3GHz and more. But, since the massive speed boost compared to the previous chip would be too much, they slowed them down so that they would be a linear evolution, speedwise, and give them enough headroom to release faster...
I have to agree with turtletrax, I have not been on this forum in quite a while, but I kinda expected a more enthusiastic response :p What happened to pushing the limits, in fact, blasting the limits? <old man>That was being [H]ard in my day!</old man>
But seriously, I do appreciate all your...
Just Corsair XMS DDR800, 2x 1GB sticks. at 3.6GHz it's running at specification speed, so there should not be a reason to overvolt it, right? And even if I bring down theram speed by the multiplier, it does not help.
I have a E6600 on an asus P5W DH, which can run stable at 3.5GHz with a coolermaster Hyper6+ heatsink (noisy at full speed).
Today we upgraded to a good watercooling set (Danger Den TDX, Maze4 for the chipset, hard drive cooler, two 120mm radiators and a D5 pump), temperatures have dropped...
I'm currently using a very stacked Stacker 830 (GF7950 + extra GF6200 for secondary monitors, and Hauppauge PVR500 dual TV tuner, 4 hard drives and 2 DVD drives), so space is at a premium:
At the moment I managed to shoehorn a Thermaltake Bigwater 735 (not so good, I know, but there's not...
Got myself an 830 2 days ago, and I also have the older huge Stacker, as well as a lian-li v1000
I can say is that the 830 is the best out of the 3, if only the side panels were as easy to open as the V1000! You really have to push and pull and put a lot of force to slide them out, hopefully...
OK, guess it's time for a new mobo then... Asus P5WD2 looks like what I'll get.
As for AMD CPUs, yes I did do a lot of comparison between the two, as I said this will not be primarily a gaming PC, but rather one where three or four CPU intensive applications will run at once. Thus, Dual cores...
I have an Asus P5AD2 Premium based on the 925X chipset. I can't seem to find any info anywhere about running dual core P4's on it, as far as I understand only the 945 and 955 chipsets would be able to do this?
So, if I need a new mobo, which would be recommended, with similar...
