The R700 - Radeon HD 4870 X2 product will be a single card that uses two RV770 GPUs. Unlike previous AMD X2 products which are CrossFire on a card, and Nvidia's GX2 products which are SLI on a card, the communication between the RV770 GPUs in R700 / 4870 X2 is *not* CrossFire. This will...

I have a dual 244 setup with 4x512 XMS512R-3200C2P2 memory, for a total of 2GB memory. When booting it registers all the memory, but when I look in Sandra or CPUID, is tells me only one channel memory. I am runing the 1.1 bios revision. Any idea? or is the configuration for dual channel memory...

Well my PSU and motherboard fried today so...I need to build a new computer this upcoming week. I've always used Intel in the past but I am considering to give AMD a try just for the fun of it and see what all the hype is about. Thing is, I have absolutely zero experience with AMD so I can't...

I was just wondering if this is so. I saw a comparison that said it far outdid the Itanium I chip. I am also new to AMD. I was going to make the switch back when the Athlon first came out but I was afraid of change. Now that AMD has the mem controller on chip, that has peaked my interest. ...

Anyone got a nice article that compares the two? I know opteron is for servers, and fx for multimedia/gaming, but I'd like to see a comparison of the two, including value for money. Thanks Martin

It seems that Wii HD, also known as Project Cafe, is going to be using an AMD R700 based GPU. While old, an R700-based GPU would be *quite* an upgrade over the Hollywood GPU in Wii which is really a 12 year old architecture since Hollywood is an overclocked Flipper GPU from ArtX designed in 1999...
