What's the speed of the motherboard, BTW?
MB Dual Channel DDR Expands memory bandwidth to 6.4GB/s and supporting up to 4GB of memory. 999 DIMM Makes the DDR eliminate data highway quality issues and support increased overclocking. HT 2000 More bandwidth, low latency, and better efficiency. http://www.ecsusa.com/products/kN1.html CPU AMD Athlon 64 Processor Architecture Performance HyperTransport technology can increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency. A fully integrated DDR memory controller helps speed access to memory by offering the processor a direct connection to the main memory. As a result, end users can enjoy quicker application loading and extraordinary application performance. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_948513041%5E13078,00.html The Industry's first true on-die dual core x86 PC processor * Inter-core communication at CPU speed * Direct access to memory controller & HyperTransport technology link HyperTransport technology for high speed I/O communication * One 16-bit link at 2000MHz * 8 GB/s HyperTransport technology I/O bandwidth * 14.4 GB/s total delivered processor-to-system bandwidth Large high-performance on-chip cache * 64KB Level 1 instruction cache per core (128KB total) * 64KB Level 1 data cache per core (128KB total) * 1MB Level 2 cache per core (2MB total) http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_13041%5E13043,00.html *************** If you have informed recommendations on a better MB, please let me know. I think the lower memory use is due to the 2MB L2 cache. I think the prior chip only had 512. ------------------------ Yahoo!
