Why not just overclock it a little bit? I imagine you'd get it to 4400 speed very comfortably. You might not feel so raped in terms of spending that money for a small gain then.
I probably will - I mean I've got a spare if it blows up haven't i?
I'll see how the memory sits during some proper work first i think - don't want to court disaster
-
I don't see why it would drop out of dual channel mode as that's a hardware level feature rather than software.
i was concerned because if you run 3 1 gb sticks the dual channel doesn't happen and xp32 would only acknowledge the presence of 3 .
It's all a bit academic anyway cos I decided to be tight and just get the 2 gb - that's all working bar the fact that the socket 939 athlon 64s throw a strop if youhave more than 2 ram modules with chips both sides (or something) and underclock the memory to 333mhz . I've bumped it all back up to 400 and its fine so meh.
this'll make you laugh though. The socket 939 4000+ isnt dual core at all so I've upgraded from a single core 2ghz chip to a single core 2.4ghz chip. I'm obviously some sort of spacker for not realising that two identically numbered chips on different sockets would be completely different.
on the plus side, it does have double the L2 cache which is a help and it has made a noticeable difference in terms of playing bf2142 - as far as proper work goes, it remains to be seen.
Oh well - it was cheap

Rather than start a new thread.....
right, I got my replacement CPU, didn't twig they only had OEM versions and I'm now left without a heatsink and fan (pause for laughter)
Am I going to be able to use the (standard) heatsink and fan off my single core AMD 64 3200 (2.ghz) on a dual core AMD 64 4000 (2.4ghz) without risk of it catching fire or should I pop down the local computer shop and buy new ones?

It's converting the splines to polylines
in Max. select the spline, go to the modify panel and increase the interpolation value. If that doesn't sort it immediately you'll need to set curve values on each vertex manually.
if you get confused pm me - if you get really confused mail me the file and i'll sort it

Girls make me happy, they also make me sad.
It's an awesome feeling to just hold a person you really care about, missed that. Shame i'm being firewalled by the whole "your such a good friend and i can't see us together yet" line.
isn't that the point where you're supposed to stick your hand down the back of her knickers and give her a tickle ?
-
I'd have thought that as long as the numbers worked out (ie you only took rent&damage money from the deposit and then gave it all back) then it should all work out ok.
but
definitely get some proper advice cos there'll be paperwork to fill in if anything is taken further and the landlord is usually the one that ends up getting f**ked in these situations

unfortunately theres not a great deal of choice of where i live in china.
what about haro?they any good? my friend has a bike shop 2 hours away and he has a haro bike for sale
haro make some pretty good completes - they also make some really cheap ones.
to put it quite simply.
any complete bike that costs less than about £270 in the UK will need completely replacing if you start to take riding it even vaguely seriously, they usually dont have a full cromoly frame, fork& bars so they weigh a lot and they're weak and the components are obvioulsy goig to be a bit crappy.
the good news is that even the cheap complete bikes that come from bmx specific companies like haro, we the people, khe, volume etc. do have proper geometry so they feel like the expensive bikes to ride (until something snaps off).
I'd avoid companies that primarily make mountain and road bikes because they dont have their reputation at stake if they produce a crap bmx whereas you dont last long as a bmx specific company if you churn out shit cos the community is relatively small and well connected - news travels fast..
-
the rims looks very thin and weak...maybe because I've been riding trials for a year and used to wide rims...I'm just curious ...whats the average width for a BMX rim?
i dont think they get any wider than 36mm - 32 is more normal i think.
they're almost certainly going to be double or triple wall so strength isn't really a concern - the fact that giant make the bike you've been looking at worries me a lot more.
might as well post mine again since everybody else is at it

Of course the world would be better without religion, but even then we'd find something to fight over and kill each other...
maybe these days we'd be better off without religion but despite all the bad stuff religion has been a driving force for a lot of good things - a lot of literature, philosophy and scientific advancement has been the work of priests/clerics under sponsorship of the various churches, not to mention all the church run hospitals curing people of weird tropical diseases over the last couple of hundred years.
a religion (or any other belief system) is only bad when used as a tool to spread hate and fear and manipulate idiots - most religious types are well meaning folk who make a positive contribution to the world, it's just the few bastards giving the rest of them a bad name.
-
But I guess the real question here is: How fit was she?
I've figured it out...
they dont get pregnant 13 years olds in Poland
-
that's not really the point though is it?
we breed nonces in this country - why should poland be any different?
-
Ah yes the polish, a race of paedophiles
they're notorious for it. Why else would Hitler have invaded ?

Your 22! You need help!
I'll keep quiet then
First up - on topic (whether the Sun thing is true or not) : legislation put in place just in case someone might get upset is a f**king stupid idea (winterval
). Second - Immigrants and concessions to their way of life : I figure that if you can't deal with the way the majority of people live in your chosen country then you ought to bugger off somewhere you can.
That's not saying I think the brown fellas should go back home, it's saying that if you don't like the way everybody else behaves you're in the wrong place.
To further illustrate my point... I left Greece because I didn't like the corruption and beaurocracy in anything government related, I didn't stay there and whine and I didn't expect them to change the system for my benefit, I came back here where things like that are a lot less prevalent.
-
Haha trust you. What you ordered then? Just get a new mobo
I got the socket AM2 version by accident :$
I thought about a new mobo but to get one with similar spec to my current one is 150 quid and since the next machine is going to be an 8 core intel it's not worth forking out the money.
Ebuyer let you send stuff back if you make a cock up so i'll just have it replaced with the socket 939 version.
-
ebay - get a specialized langster or a fuji track.
fixies are fun
-
Im sure mate.
If you wish to test, boot to the 32bit XP and run this: CPU-Z
In the memory tab it will tell you if its running dual channel
i believe you - it'd be a bit academic by that point anyway
after all this I managed to cock up my order and have ended up with 2 gb of ram and a cpu that wont fit in my motherboard. ah well, you lives and learns
-
I have the gigabyte GA- K8A- Sli board i think it is, socket 939. I have the AMD X2 4400, not bad, can get them really cheap now.
If you are sticking to the board you have, try this ram if its compatible... Corsair ram
I'm on the GA K8NXP SLI so we've got pretty much the same stuff. Don't think i want to spend the extra £100 for 4gb of the spanky ram to be honest - I've been using corsair value stuff for years with no problems so I'll probalby just stick to it.l
-
The memory will still run as dual channel when you run XP - 32 bit. As long as the BIOS detects it as dual channel it will run.
You could run just DOS and as long as u have matched sticks of RAM in a dual channel board it will be dual channel... even if the operating system cant use all the free space.
hope this helps
that 's exactly the answer I was hoping for - are you positive (barring any weird-ass, unexpected behaviour)?
si-man : its a single core socket939 3200. I might get a dual core chip as well if I can find one on the cheap but I'm limited in terms of speed on socket 939 and this is really only a stop-gap til I get a complete new monster machine.
-
i found a link
i dunno if it helps, but you'll probs know more about the problem after reading it
it helps in the sense that I'm now extra confident that all my hardware is up to the job - My concern is that I might make the machine slower by adding extra memory
-
No, it'll turn it off, at least if you put in a 1 gig stick, you could try putting in a pair of 512s, then you'd be fully matched.
so
4 x 1gb sticks will go wrong?
and
2 x 2gb sticks will also go wrong?
but
2x1gb and 2x512mb will be alright?

right...
I've got a PC that dual boots XP32 (day to day crap and games) and XP64 (serious work stuff)
I want 4gb of memory so I can keep up with creating current gen game models and textures - 2gb isn't enough
I believe the following is true....
XP32 can't address more than 3.2gb of ram
XP64 can
I've got 4 holes for dual channel memory (nforce 4 SLI chipset) - the obvious thing is to whack a 1gb stick in each hole. It has to be arranged in pairs or dual channel turns off and machine runs like shit (whcih is unacceptable)
It'll all be fine on xp64 - the dual channel business will work and ill be happy as a pig in shit.
the question is..
on xp32 will the dual channel memory still work as dual channel memory if the OS can't address one of the sticks of Ram? perhaps it's a bios thingy so OS isn't even relevant, I don't know..

it'll be absolutely fine. the picture quality and frame rates on an XBOX or ps3 are so shite in comparison to a PC game you won't notice any problems.
I'm not sure the samsung come with an HDMI hole if that makes a difference - the new HP ones do but the spec is a bit ropey in comparison and they cost as much as the Dells
-
If that's half decent I'll get it then.
Humm....
it certainly is - it's the 24" version of the one I suggested
the only thing it falls down on compared to the 22" is response time but if you're not playing games or doing 3d graphics you won't notice the ghosting
