barenziah · 08-12-02, 10:11 PM

Looking to get a new MB after playing around with my new Epox 4G4A+ board and not able to get 2*CMX512-3200 to run stable even at DDR333.

Need to have raid (prefer Highpoint so I dont need to reinstall)
Good overclocker ( I have a water setup, Maze3)
Onboard Lan
( have a P4 2.26b )

Looking at mabye thisSY-P4X400 DRAGON Ultra
or something based on the SIS648 chipset.

Any recomendations anyone????

Iwill with the 850E chipset. Uses Rambus ram much faster than DRR for intel. You will like it.

rd rams sux!
they're expensive more then ddr's,

everybody supports ddr's,
and ddr400 will surely beat rdrams!

buy a ddr 333

or collect some coins more,
and go with ddr 400

Do the math DDR for P-4 = bottleneck. DDR is perfect for AMD. DDR is 2.7 gig acrossed the bus max,(right now I believe). Rambus (1066) is 3.3 gig or so. You decide. You can be cheap and not get performance that is availible or pay the extra bucks and get what you need. And it is with newest, best, fastest in mind, not last years P-4 I refer to.
You need to do the research and not let us decide dude. Let us point out some interesting ideas for you to look up.
By the way whereismy386 nothing sucks in the tech world, and there are just alot of ways to do things. Some more correct than others. If you are into saving money than don't upgrade. No one supported anything right away. DDR was more expensive than pc100 at first. I do not mean any disrespect.

mmmm...

i'm currently using sdram133,
they're runs like a lightning!
hehe

yea, u're relativetely right,
rd rams are fastest mems in the world,
but ddr's looks more flexible 2 me 4 use,
(chipsets, supported cpu's etc...)
