All Athlon64 CPUs can't do 1T Command Rate with 2 dual rank modules in one memory channel and at the top speed.

I don't see a reason to use any FX 5600 with readily available 5900XT cards. Normal 5600 sucks and 5600 Ultra is a rare beast. on it after they had already tapped the first NV30 die. They immeditally went to designing the NV35 to improve the NV3x design while also having a team start work on NV40. …

Did you tried only with video card or some ISA cards are installed as well? Which revision of the board do you have?

G400 can do trilinear filtering and TNT2 don't (only dithering).

Audigy 2ZS has hardware EAX3, software EAX4 EAX 4.0 is still technically in hardware, because it was released with ZS series. But it's more or less just refined EAX Advanced HD which was limited to ZS/4 Pro due to obvious marketing reasons.

You don't need heatspreaders even for overclocked SDRAM.

Looks like blatant rip-off, not the real engineering sample. AMD-X5 wasn't trademarketed.

Does EMBM also work on R7000? On any Radeon. One of the few cases where third TMU is probably used.

L1 cache is huge on both CPUs and L2 cache on K7 Athlons is comparably slow. Due to that, size difference between Duron/Athlon doesn't hurt as much. But no I don't recall ever coming across anything in a game that made SSE super exciting to have SSE is also supported by drivers. Although the …

The FX series had equality as powerful DirectX 8 performance as ATI. They didn't. Even shader model 1.4 was mildly slower, especially with AA, due to how FX were designed. R300+ pipeline was overall more flexible. it's irrelevant since nobody ran anything DirectX9 in Windows 98 back in the day Win …

Overclocking memory does get tested at their rated speeds It does, but OCZ had very high failure rates. Either way.. after 10+ years, a lot of ram modules seem to fail because of old age.. i've thrown out 20+gb of DDR2 of all sorts of brands/speed ratings Even on low voltage? Most of OCed memory …
