Pc Modding and over-clocking is very addictive. There are some great prizes for Mod designs though. Bit techie

JonnyBoy said:Actually, I'm wishing I'd waited for the new dual-layer drives to arrive before buying my DVD writer!
But ours are capable! There is a firmware upgrade to allow dual layer writing but the only problem is the unavailability of dual layer discs.
I'll search for the link and post it here just incase anyone has the same writer, sometimes you just can't wait though, I bought my writer for £80 and now 12x are available for £50 but thats PC's for you.

Liam: Really? Awesome! Mine's the ND-2500A model; if the firmware upgrade works on it then, once I can lay my hands on some reasonably-priced dual layer discs, I'm in business

ChrisUK said:It is slower it uses an extra clock cycle every second to "error check" data stored in the bank. Perhaps you should take a look at this
I really don't need a lesson in systems architecture thanks, done enough of that
hahaOf course it complete a cycle, I was just commenting that it really depends on a lot of factors, ie. ECC RDRAM performs completely different to ECC DDR etc etc, and the cycles per second are different, etc.
It gets very messy, and I'm sure you'll agree with me, it's not so black and white

Yep I agree there . got ram rated for PC4200 spec only runs properly at PC3200 aka 200FSB / 400mhz DDR . And nothing is simple on computers every single PC even exactly the same parts will run differently.

Is that due to your mobo??
That would certainly annoy me!
I have RIMMS so they are just damn expensive!!
So 512Mb will do, looking to get an AMD64 next, though am a tad hesitant, am more of an Intel fan myself (I'm sure I'll get abused for that!).

You will indeed . And I bought the PC4200 ones to have nice overclocking headroom IE 250mhz FSB / 500 DDR. As for AMD64 if you want a New setup go for the socket 939 mobo It is the best technology and has some future proofing in it. AMD's plans for 754 is gonna be budget IE no new processors for it.
