i dare you try to use different modules in dual channel with the nforce 2 ultra and call it stable... back in 2005 i tried in my MSI k7n2 delta2 platinum, EVEN with 2 identical 256MB Supertalent DDR400 the system was prone to crash every 1-2hs...

^Mega points for sticking with AMD all those years. I jumped ship when my 6400+ was stuttering like crazy in S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Crysis with a brand new and expensive 8800GTX, and AMD's quad core parts kept getting delayed. i rather die than use Intel in my main rig. There is nothing wrong with their …

you just have to think what game made you upgrade. I know today one just dont hit with a wall and upgrade before that happens Off: my first computer had at some point an AMD 486 DX4 100Mhz and the game that showed the limitations of the PC was Carmageddon. Later, with the K6-2 500Mhz (+AX59 Pro, …

It's not quite the slowest, but I had Win10 Anniversary running just fine on my Pentium M rig. Looks like the slowest AMD CPU supported is indeed the Sempron 2500. The slowest Intel would probably be one of the 775 Celeron Ds...I can't remember which ones supported NX (or if they all did). The …

i need to know if im correct: Windows 10 Requires NX. So in theory the slowest processor you can run it is the Pentium 4 2.4Ghz Prescott and Sempron 2500+ 754?
