Re: DDR3 Round-Up: Memory Performance With The Core

ZForgetAboutIt — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:31:02 GMT

I don't understand how (in Article Index: Clock Speed") the Crysis benchmark graph shows

1866 MHz = 73.76 FPS

800 MHz = 66.36 FPS

difference = 7.40 FPS

but the article text in that section claims

"Moving from DDR3-800 to DDR3-1866 bumped up Crysis by nearly 10 FPS..."

Please explain.

Question on RAM cooler

Paul Olivenza Jr — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 10:03:40 GMT

I have been searching for articles regarding RAM coolers that would work well (without issues) with the Dorminator series . . . the only water block I can find is the Thermaltake Aqua RX R-1 and the coolance RAM 35 . . . (the coolance RAM will only fit if the heat spreader or heat sink can be removed)

Anybody with experience on this? Any advice?

. . . much appreciated.

XP recognizes only 2 gb

BudJ — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 08:27:01 GMT

I'm new here so please bear with me. I've just built a new SLI computer. I put in 2 OCZ 2 gb sticks. The bios registers 4 gb but windows only see 2. I knew it wouldn't see all four but two seems pretty low. I have two 512 mb graphics cards so that accounts for 1 gb of memory not being accessible, but what would cause the other gb to be lost? Is there anything I can do to recover some of that last one?

There is no need for 3 GB with that system. 2 GB should be more than enough for games.

You all saw this story on HH yesterday, right?

Have you tried googling the brands and markings on the chips.

for example: the chip has Infineon HYB39S256800CT-7.5 on the chips, putting that into google and clicking on some links will tell you that its a PC133 SDRAM chip 256MB CAS latency 3

DDR3 Memory Round-Up

Marco C — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 01:33:16 GMT

Hello Everyone,

We‘re writing to let you all know that we’ve just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we rounded up a handful of high-speed DDR3 memory kits. We got our hands on five, dual-channel, 2GB kits from Corsair, Kingston (2), OCZ, and Super Talent each with different rated speeds and timings, ranging from 1333MHz to 1800MHz. Our intent was to show you how performance is affected by different clock speeds and timings using Intel's P35 chipset with a processor that has a 1333MHz front side bus speed. Head on over to the site and take a look...

Re: Enabling PAE in Windows? -- workaround for 32-bit OS's for more RAM support

Marco C — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 19:21:19 GMT

Well, the first thing you have to note is that PAE is only optimized for "server-class" versions of Windows. With 32-bit, desktop versions of XP and Vista the limit is still 4GB, so there's very little point in enabling PAE. Is it dangerous to enable PAE? Not realy, because you can disable it fairly easily even if you have a device with an imcompatible driver. The worst case scenario may arise if you have your hard drives connected to a PCI controller card and its drivers have a problem and you end up corrupting data.

I like to mess around with Windows and experiemnt as well, but you'll be pretty board pretty quick with PAE I think. All you have to do is add a switch to the boot.ini file and you're done.

Another thing that makes messing with PAE somewhat useless is that 64-bit versions of Windows are much more mature now, and there's no need for PAE with a 64-bit version of Windows.

With that said, if you want to learn more about PAE and experiement, check out this page first:
