    I have read the Memory FAQ's and the other stuff looking for the simple answer and came up with nada. Why did the industry go with RAM dividers.... I understand the "purpose" of them, I just do not understand why they didn't just put an "adjustable setting" thing instead. You know give you a...

    Clockgen Issue

    Clockgen doesn't seem to like me much. I put the PLL for the A8R32-MVP in for the A8R32-MVP delux board I am using maybe this is causing it? Anyhow, I can't use clockgen to even OC my board even 1mhz. It keeps locking it up. There any other programs out there that do the same thing?

    Anyone have any comments on which is a better card? They both have the same specs. New egg is giving 50 bucks off of both. The catch is the HIS one has a 50 MIR to boot. Never had anything from HIS, have had SAPP though the card has been working for over 2 years OC'ed no problems. Any comments?

    Which part..Opty 165 or 64x2 3800?

    The price savings isn't much so which one will perform better? The Opty has lower clockrate (pre OC) and more L2 cache, but I am leaning towards it. I wont run the thing maxed out but plan on overclocking either one to some degree. Will be making the purchase in the morning.

    What is the deciding factor in choosing games for benchmarking?

    I was curious what factors you use when deciding what games to use as benchmarks for the reviews on gear? Stuff that taxes a system? Mainstream games? I noticed that in the last year or two you have added RPG's and RTS games to the FPS and flightsims that have always been benchmarked...
