    I missed you guys so much I just had to come back!

    It's time for me to upgrade my PC again. I'll probably just buy the hardware and build a new one. I have lots of questions. I'll ask no more than 10 per post. 1) I hear that MAC is coming out with a new 64-bit processor. Is MAC going to be the first one to release the 64-bit processor...

    It's no problem at all Harrack. Who knows, maybe the new XP 3000+ CPU will in fact be available for purchase within the next two weeks. If so, then I should be thanking you for accidentally convincing me to postpone the order. In either case, if it weren't for you, syngod, and Big B then I...

    The only reason I am considering waiting for the XP 3000+ CPU is because the release date is this Thursday. The computer store expects to have some in next week. If I only have to wait about 1-2 weeks maximum, then it's worth the wait. I'm not willing to wait any number of months though. It is...

    syngod, are you saying that the 2.0 latency ram will work with the motherboard at 2.0 latency? Are you saying it will work on the motherboard, but only at 2.5 latency? Or will it not work at all, like Harrack said? What latency is the ram you have? The latency is the only aspect of the ram in...

    Thank you Harrack. Here is a link to an interesting review on the new XP 3000+ chip: http://msn-cnet.com.com/2100-1001-983901.html?tag=lh You may have already ready it. I put it on the forum just in case you haven't.

    It's okay. The more information the better. The longer the post, the more excited I am to read it. No problem Big B. Everyone has their typos. I was just confused for the minute there, it's nothing unusual. :D

    I think the only question now is: What memory is best fitted for this motherboard/hardware combination? Quality, overclockability, and performance are the key factors with which to decide.

    I would put my E-mail address/screen name on the forum (or on my profile), but I don't want to provide the means for an even larger abundance of spam mail. The reason why I suggested having the ability to talk via the more efficient method of IM or private messaging, is so that I can hopefully...

    Then what Big B intended to say was, "You can have DDR SDRAM or SDRAM, so you'll have to check." Sorry for the confusion.

    GF4 4200 or 4600?

    Go with the GeForce4 Ti 4600. Its much cheaper than the Radeon 9700. I just got the GeForce4 Ti 4600 myself. I'd like someone to relate with. :p

    "ddr is actually DDR SDRAM" --Harrack Isn't this a contradiction? Is DDR RAM the same as SDRAM? Or are they two "types" of RAM? I always thought they were two types, but I think harrack said differently. .... .... ..........:confused:

    If any of you are on the forum tonight, and are willing, send me a private message. It might be more efficient. I'll give you my AOL screen name too.

    What is the difference between the Asus A7N8X and the Asus A7V8X? I guess I'll just settle for this motherboard, which means I'll need to find the next best RAM since this motherboard doesn't support the 2.0 RAM I had selected. I'm open to suggestions. What is the next best ram? Is there a...

    Locating hardware information in existing PC

    I was just wondering where to look to find out exactly what motherboard and what type of memory my computer is using. I looked under Device Manager, but it doesn't have an specific names or specs. I didn't see any "Memory" or "Motherboard" catagory either. There is mention under system devices...

    "Personnaly, I do not see the point of changing a motherboard just because of memory latency. As I said, you can always buy 2.5 latency memory and set it to two in the bios. Plus, I cannot give you numbers on this, but I don't think it would make that much of a difference." --Harrack The...

    Harrack: "that'S why there is only 512kb compared to the 512mb you're looking to buy. SRAM has been there for a long time, at least 10 years, but on the 486 dx/4 100s(the intel ones, amd had less cache) there was only 16kb of cache, now the max is 512kb. sdram has 172 pin compared to 184...

    So which latency is better? Are there only two latencies for the Corsair 512MB PC3200 RAM? 2.0 and 2.5?? What does the latency effect? Does it effect performance or quality? Or is it stricly just to make finding a compatible motherboard a royal pain in the arse? Okay friends, I have an...

    Big B: "They have some low-latency sticks of their RAM, but I really would not worry about that." ---Big B What does this mean? What is low-latency sticks of RAM? Of their RAM? You mean of Corsair's RAM? "I'd say it'd be worth it. The only thing I'd check is to make sure that the...

    I am very confused here. :confused: On this link you gave me, the Corsair 512MB PC3200 RAM is listed at the bottom. Doesn't that mean its supported? Isn't this the link you gave me to check for supported ram by the motherboard we have selected? Its under the "DDR 400" category on the bottom...
