Mattman, we're not referring to what the RAM can run at, it's about how CPU-Z is identifying the RAM. Apparently, it is mis-identifying both mine...
CPU-Z reports my Corsair Platinum CAS 2.5 RAM as CAS 3. I just say "meh" and run it at CAS 2.5.
Unless, of course, the POST screen tells you you're in dual channel mode. :) My point simply being that I've never had a problem running in dual...
Bravo on the extra RAM, Salty. I was trying to edit my last post but I'm getting page errors on this site. Was just going to add that I don't...
Regarding the cpu, instead of getting that FX-60 for ~$270, why not get a San Diego 4000+ for $80? You can see it here:...
Actually, half a 7950GX2 is nothing to sneeze at. Believe or not he can't switch back and forth due to a bug in the latest Nvidia drivers - it...

No. As long as your mainboard is compatible with the new cpu, yes. Check your mainboard manual or support site. Windows notices...it just doesn't...
1. My own personal take is to get the max warranty available. Laptops are not known for their longevity. I bought a three-year warranty on my...
I've never run into that but how about a standard dinner setting knife? Not a steak knife but one you butter your bread with. Lay it in the row...
No magic tricks here - if your HDD is sitting in a non-working computer, you'll need to slave to another machine to either create a ghost image of...

www.ewiz.com has some Socket As. I've used this dealer and I like them alot. I have two boards: a Foxconn with an SIS chipset and a nice Epox...
Was that $200-250?
