Too bad they do not show DDR2-800 :( It seems to be the memory most people will use for Core 2 Dou and AMD AM2. But it does show that DDR400 memory still may have its place. I myself use DDR2-800 on my AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Rig. I am very pleased with the performance. Oh! Well... Regards,

Well on that point, conroe tests show that even with the current non-integrated controller from the 975X, the CPU's memory performance as a whole does as good or better than an A64 X2. I think this test shows that latency is now a major factor for conroe - just like it always has been for

I thought to use a WAP, you had to disable DHCP on all but the main router, no? Try setting the Belkin to 192.168.1.2 and disable DHCP on the Belkin and see if that works. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Tuesday, August

I ran the two Linksys LAN1 and WAN3 together for a week with no problem. Then today I hooked up the Belkin WIFI2. The Belkin WAN port is plugged into a standard port on the WAN3 Linksys. When I try to access with my WIFI laptop, I can see the Belkin there, but there is nothing to connect to.

defrag ? have you ran drive diagnostics ? almost sounds like drive failing or bad caps on MB. drive IO can kill performance. Also how full is the drive, I find they slow down after 50% full. how dirty is the cpu fan ? dust can cause heat build up. sorry if these are things you already checked.

with the capacities of today's drives, 80% doesn't have to impact performance at all. Perhaps if the drive is 10GB, yeah. But not if its 200GB. Veech wrote: wow... that kinda sucks. So a 200G HD is really only good for half that before it starts to impact performance? - Original
