Will the eVGA board in question work with ECC memory modules? (I don't necessarily need ECC to function, but it would be nice to use some ECC memory I already own instead of having to buy new)
Regarding the eVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1...
According to the manual it only supports maximum of 4GB of RAM (four slots, 1GB max per slot)? "Hello, 2007? This is 2003. We'd like our motherboard back!"
I can't believe that's the maximum... I have four 4GB DDR2 modules here I was planning to use...
Last year I built out a new system with dual 8800GTX cards for SLI-use. Everything is great, but my intention was always to upgrade motherboard and CPU sometime this summer. Now the time has arrived, but I have a question regarding these PCIe slots that these boards have...
Basically, I have...
It's truly sad how many people are calling this "stupid"... It needs to be done. Nvidia has flat-out misled people as to the compatibility between the G80 and Vista. The drivers are completely beta at this point -- not just SLI.
I think these folks are complete justified. If the lawsuit gets...
This sucks...
I just bought two 8800GTX cards.
I bought a new case.
I bought a new motherboard.
I bought a new power supply.
I bought Vista.
I was getting really jazzed up about the eye candy in Vista. I'd been running the MSDN version for a bit and liked what I saw. Now...
Found it!
One of the other posters was correct -- it was a Lite-On case, not Lian-Li. The model number was FS020.
I was very close, but couldn't quite get it right. :)
Still looking for the drive/bay rails though... :(
Folks,
I have this fairly old ATX chassis here I wish to put back into service after several years of non-use. It's very large, and I need this space for my 8800GTX cards coming in as well as the water-cooling I am about to try out.
As you will see in the big pic below, it's old school [H]...
Don't know about you, but on my X2 4400+ and 7800GTX setup, BF2 plays MUCH better than when XP is run with the /onecpu switch in the boot.ini (forces XP to use uniprocessor kernel). The difference in framerates was noticable, since all the other threads were not held up by the game.
Shuttle SN25P small form factor system
Athlon64 X2 4400+ (stock speed, 2.2GHz)
2GB of OCZ Platinum memory at 2-3-2-5 1T timings
Ran the test four times:
35-36 seconds
We've been tracking this problem down in another forum (forums.sudhian.com) and I thought I'd come and share our findings with the Hard crowd.
A number of people with X2's have noticed that the SN25P tends to freeze a lot, in a totally random way. It's been really frustrating but now we have...
Here I was thinking my memory was "bad", when in fact -- after reading around -- manfacturers want you to bump the voltage in order to achieve their high-speed latencies. That's kind of weird, IMO.
I am now debating returning the Patriot memory... at 2.8, this thing has been perfectly stable...
BTW... I did some memtest86 action on this Patriot garbage... tons of errors.
So, taking another poster's advice, I upped the voltage on these modules to 2.8V and am running 2-3-2-5 1T for the last 20 minutes or so. Usually the thing would have blown up by now. I'm not sold that it's 100%...
