    [SOLVED] Installing a second dual channel kit in a dual channel system, is it worth it?

    I guess I was more wondering will my system really take advantage of 4x8. I know 32gb as 2x16 would be good but since its dual channel only on an AMD 7 2700 I wasn't sure if the extra 16gb really got used efficiently if its 2x(2x8)

    [SOLVED] Installing a second dual channel kit in a dual channel system, is it worth it?

    I am having to RMA 2x8gb Gskill memory. To avoid being offline during the rma process I am considering buying an identical kit to the one I am RMA'ing. When the RMA is resolved I will end up with 4x8gb for 32gb but its only a dual channel system. Is it worth it to invest the money in the...

    Is there a case that can easily house a full sized PC mobo and an Xbox One mobo?

    It might be something you have to mod yourself. Here is a blog link I found when looking to do something similar. This guy shoved an xbox and a ps3 into a single case. http://timofiend.blogspot.com/

    Specification Comparission Sheet

    Thanks all for the info. Good sources of information but not exactly what I am looking for. I agree CT to what you are saying, thats why I was looking for that sheet that had pretty much all the specs on it so I could sort by thinks like core and go across the list to see the specs.

    Specification Comparission Sheet

    I am trying to make an educated decision in buying my next graphics card. I love the charts usually but it doesn't give me really enough technical specs to really fine tune what I am looking for. I remember a few years back finding a spread sheet that had all the cards listed and then the...

    What will give me better performance than 2 ATI 3870 in CF

    Hrm I was never able to get it to overclock with any stability. I tried to do some minor OC to stick with stock cooling since I heard the cooling unit shipped with it was very good but I got horrible results out of it. With my current components can you give me some ideas of what tools and and...

    What will give me better performance than 2 ATI 3870 in CF

    I might sell it....I could replace the equipment in my htpc...I could set up a windows server some of my windows development I have been monkeying with. There are options but I suppose I shouldn't spend money if I don't need to. Thanks for all the advice. As much as I want to upgrade so far...

    What will give me better performance than 2 ATI 3870 in CF

    Not consistently right now. I have been a big FPS player in the past (COD MW and MW2) and also Halflife. But I have been doing more of those games on consoles and sticking to the MMO world on my PC. What about sticking to just upgrading my other components. E8400 to a AMD II Phenom x6 and a...

    What will give me better performance than 2 ATI 3870 in CF

    It is enough, my curiosity at this point is should I really be seeing that big of a jump just from windows 7 and being able to use DX 10 also going from 32 bit to 64 bit. My system is dated to about 2007/2008 and it just seems weird that its pumping that much power still. What am I looking at...

    What will give me better performance than 2 ATI 3870 in CF

    Hello, I was just about to upgrade my system before I decided to swap my cards around and upgrade to Windows 7. My setup is a Intel DX38BT (latest BIOS), 2 GB DDR PC 1333, and an E8400. I have two ATI 3870's 512mb running in CF. I went after my Windows 7 Upgrade and a swap of the two cards...
