There are really two main systems out there right now: Dual channel and Triple channel; the former being used by both AMD and Intel, the latter being Intel only. Think of is this way: You have two points: A and B. And you have a single pipe connecting the two points, so only a certain amount of water can go through to point B from A. Now add a second pipe - you've doubled the amount of water that can go through. That's dual channel. Add a third pipe and you can push more through. The water travels at the same speed, but you can get more through, faster. Turn the water into data and the pipes into channels for RAM...and there you go. You see kits with 6 sticks of RAM because getting 3 large sticks is more expensive than 6 small sticks. It's still triple channel. The board has 6 slots, but there are three channels, so two slots for each channel. It just lets you get higher memory capacities into your computer.
that may be, but it is factual there is a small increase in using 2 slots with 512 in stead of 1 with 1024mb ram without dual channel, but it does not come near to the effect gained with dual and triple channel and its largely dependant on what you do with it
haw rawr rawr I know, 2 months necro. Ban me. (Actually, don't.) I ordered my build last Friday, and it will probably ship this Wednesday. (Got to love when shit isn't in stock...) ASUS M4A89GTD PRO Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 "Vapor-X" Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333MHz 6GB CL9 AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB Corsair CX 600W PSU (Was going for a 750 one, but the prices had went up ridiculously compared to the last time I checked.) Ace Edge 990 Midi Tower I mostly went after product recommendations on the site by other users, but picked out some custom stuff myself. Did a lot of research on every piece of equipment and most of them showed excellent results. Anyone want to throw shit at me for doing my research? Also, does AMD's "Processor-in-a-box" come with a fan/heatsink as AMD claims?
1,050 USD / 790 EURO. More or less. Call it a rip-off or heavenly prices, I'm not familiar with US hardware prices.
Unless it's an OEM bundle, it has a HSF. I wouldn't overlock much on it...and silence won't do so well, but the stock heatsinks always work for stock operations (meaning, non-OCed.) If you want a good air heatsink, nab the Thermalright TRUE-120....love that heatsink.
The case you chose looks... blah. I got me an Antec case. Its fricking made of steel... literally(with some plastic too ofc). I can't find my model on there site anymore cuz I got it like duno 5 years ago but the closest one is http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=Mjc= Its a server type case same as mine and it has tons of future-proofing in the way of space. Mine has a huge 120mm fan on the door and doesn't look quite as crappy on the front.
hahaha.. looks like it has a jet engine on the bottom. It certainly looks nice and does look like it has good airflow, Good drive management, Extension card clips instead of screws, liquid coolant able, MEGA sized fan on side, ... however... it looks to be thin aluminum.
Your Antec link doesn't work. Also I don't like Antec cases, at least their current ones because all of them have the harddrive facing towards the mobo.
ok.. it doesn't work for you.. but I just tried it and it worked. Perhaps its working on some sort of cookie system. its the Titan 650.
enermax chakra LOVE IT those built in dust filters on the fans are awesome nothing gets in and you just have to swipe over it with your finger and you you got all the dust from the filter in your hand i got the same GPU interesting thing is it got worse performance on older games then my previous GPU (NVidia 8800GT)
