BF for $14.

Wow!  We are up to 2GB models now...
I still own an old Crucital 256MB Gizmo.
Visited Crucial. Hmm.. :(
I am going to follow all of these links to find new hdw.
Thanks all.  Like the Corsair models so far.
Not crazy about the slide-contact business of the SanDisk.
Best,
Duncan




[H] CPU up/down grade (AMD)

2007-12-23 Thread Rick Glazier

CPU up/down grade (AMD)

If an AMD Barton 3000+ 333FSB will not run at specs,
(tested on three machines rated to use it),
is it a really bad idea to under-clock it to 2200+ 233FSB?

FWIW, I'm doing a burn-in test at the lower numbers...

[H] AMD's Odd Phenom

2007-12-23 Thread The Beave
Soon after AMD announced its new triple-core Phenom processor, the jokes
began. Some people think a multicore processor with an odd number of cores
is...well, odd. Others ridiculed AMD for making triple-core chips by
disabling one core on a defective quad-core die. Intel CEO Paul Otellini
cracked, We see a distinct advantage in having all the cores on our dies
work.
Actually, there's nothing odd about an odd number of processors. For 30
years we've had PCs with only one processor, and that's an odd number.
