I am going to be selling my rig here soon (check sig), not that I am unhappy with it, but have more of the 6 month itch going on (despite some of my hardware being dated, it's still kicking out almost 9k in 3dmark06, and other games run steady at very playable speeds, even at 1920x1080, and options cranked in most games)...anyways. I just need some basic information, as I am out of the loop on current intel hardware, and from what I have been reading, I need to take a long hard look at all of my options.
My questions are basic:
On an Allendale 4xxx series CPU, the FSB is listed as 800MHz
On Conroe chips, 6xxx series CPUs, the FSB is lised as 1066
IIRC, QX series chips are FSB 1333, correct? (or correct me, if I am wrong)
If any of the above is incorrect, please correct me. I need to know what the matched RAM speeds (spec speed, not for OC...that I can figure out) for each chip type. When I last goofed with intel (read - they dropped the ball, and AMD ran with it), the chips were running basically a 4x multiplier on the rated matched RAM speed, ie:
533FSB Xeons were using PC2100=133MHz x 4 quad pumped bus
800MHz P4's were running PC3200=200MHz x quad pumped bus
Is this still the case? What RAM do I use, and for what chips, that's what I need to know. Thanks, in advance...man I feel so dumb with the new stuff, all my machines are S939 (5 of them). Moving to DDR2...very slowly.
