memory
I have a dell with amd 64x2 5600 processor with 3 gb of memory 656 mhz,I
read somewhere that the 5600 processor would run 800 mmhz at full speed,would there be a significant speed increase if I swithed over to 800 mhz memory.Thanks |

To really improve system performance one needs to determine where the bottleneck is for the apllications they are running. For instance, I run this machine mainly as a HD video server, sometimes writing as much as 30GB per hour to disk, while reading as much as 21GB per hour and deleting large files sometimes over 20GB at the same time. The only thing that will help that is a faster drive system. I accomplish that using raid0. Nothing else would help at all or very very little. Now if you are running something like video editing then more and/or faster memory is probably your best bet. If you want better game performance, a newer video card is the best solution. So where is your bottleneck? -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Is it correct to assume any 64x2 processor speed will work with any memory speed except at possibly reduced efficiency? What are the max processor speeds what till run with each of the following DDR-800, DDR-667, and DDR -533? |

Oh, any of that ram will work assuming you meant DDR2-xxx. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
