1700+ AMD Athlon XP processor! (Runs at 1.4 Ghz, outperforms Pentium IV 1.7 Ghz [but what DOESN'T outperform Pentium IV?] )

512 MB of SDRAM (at $34 for 512!)

New motherboard...

NICE!

Da RicK · Nov 25, 2001

hahahahaha SDRAM!!!

anways.... nice stuff man

Karsehole · Nov 25, 2001

SDRAM is nice and cheap!

cheap yeah, just like its performance *grin*

As long as u have enough of it that doesn't matter.

it does my dead..doh... dear DC
DDR is faster than sdram

Karsehole · Nov 25, 2001

duh, I'm not stupid ya know!

It's just that, seeing the difference in price, I prefer SD

Da RicK · Nov 25, 2001

the difference isnt that big atm
but you may prefer, im not gonna hurt you..

yet...

UT_cyberg][dan · Nov 25, 2001

Of course DDR is faster. I could have gotten it for the same price though

Who cares? I think that speed and memory get to a certain point where it's hard to tell the difference.

Da RicK · Nov 25, 2001

but if you can get it for the same price, why not chose for DDR?

bah, im talking about useless stuff again, trout slap me baby!

UT_cyberg][dan · Nov 25, 2001

To be honest, I don't know enough about DDR. Probably should have got it. In fact, if I got DDR, I could use the DDR slots on my motherboard and put my CD-ROM drive back in... haha

Da RicK · Nov 25, 2001

you'd better not really...

mobace · Nov 25, 2001

erm benchmarking shows ddr systems to perform faster

did you just not want to buy a new motherboard?

UT_cyberg][dan · Nov 25, 2001

woot, I did buy a new motherboard... It has 2 slots for DDR and 2 right next to it for SDRAM.

mobace · Nov 25, 2001

hmmm *reaches back into me memory* i think i remember reading about that board.

can you use the ddr and sdram together?

Silver_Dragon · Nov 25, 2001

Cool :tup: have fun while you can!

UT_cyberg][dan · Nov 25, 2001

DDR and SDRAM together? Isn't that impossible?

In either case, you can put a gig of either kind of ram in there. which is nice.

And at $34 for 512 MB of DDR or SDRAM, it's VERY nice.

The motherboard is an Elitegroups motherboard... the first one we got had a problem. It was either the motherboard or the processor because the comp was freezing on startup, so we returned it, and the new one is really sweet. And, on top of that, it fits in my old case. w00t!

Stryker8 · Nov 25, 2001

haven't seen a board that can handle two types of ram (well the 100 and 133 sd ram offcourse)
sd ram is limited, if you have 512 or 1 gig of sd ram, you won't notice any difference
if i were you i'd go for one of the msi boards, cheap and fast

mobace · Nov 25, 2001

yes that is wot i was *asking* garrr i didn't know, but thanks for info indirectly :goshen:

UT_cyberg][dan · Nov 25, 2001

btw the Athlon 1700+ processor and the Elitegroups K7S5A board came in a package for $189, which is reasonable I guess... I was expecting to shell out a LOT more just for the Athlon.
