NEED HELP!!

I'm about to buy this board

P5G41T-M LX





and was wondering if u guys could recommend an 8gb memory kit for it, considering buying this one

^^Try these instead, and dey are 1600Mhz too!

correct if I'm wrong but I don't think that board supports 1600mhz ram, the max is 1333mhz.

[HCCA]

Well most 1600Mhz ram has a profile for running at 1333Mhz so it wouldn't be a problem.

The extra speed would be beneficial if you're overclocking though.

i never use multi player...gt 240...prepare yourself

*edit*
^that cant be real, the game has a release date check



those programmers r smart...they knew it would get leaked

[battlefield 3]

yeah but skidrow will crack that normal,normal

[jeevdude199]

storyline for mw3 online for battlefield..gotta sharpen up meh sniping skills....who wanna go camping?

For the AMD Fanboys

Yay for being an AMD fan boy

But geeze if they had compare it to an i7 AMD might have pulled it from the market

Benchmarks for the new AMD Bulldozer chips are very disappointing. The i7 2600 beats it in almost every single benchmark I've seen, hell even the Phenom II is faster than it. Not to mention the ridiculous power consumption!

For a chip that has double the transistor count than the current i7 I would have expected better results.

IMO AMD seriously droped the ball on this one.

dey dropped a BIG stone on it hoss.. i was lookin forward to gettin it.. not anymore. might change mb and processor to intel side next year.. amd gone through now... hopefully their 7000 series gpu might get dem up back...

lame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[X]~Outlaw]

I'm not a huge AMD fan but the competition between AMD and Intel keeps the price of the latest technology down, so I was actually looking forward to BD being a big hit, if only for that reason.

I mean WTF was AMD thinking. You have two cores that make up one BD module but there is only ONE FPU per module shared by two cores. I mean I understand they were trying to save die real-estate but having a shared FPU just introduces scheduling complexities and potential bottlenecks.

Not to mention they were developing this new architecture for what...only half a decade yet it didn't occur to them to work with major software developers to optimize code to take advantage of the new architecture. I mean it performs poorly even in heavily threaded applications...the very applications it was designed to excel at.

Poor benchmark result were popping up for the last few months from engineering samples and everyone was saying, oh that says nothing production pieces would perform differently, AMD would release new micro code that performs better by the time they go into production. Well here we are. This kinda reminds me of when Intel came out with its new Netburst architecture for the P4 (If I remember correctly it had lower IPC than the last iteration of the PIII coppermine I think)..but I don't remember it sucking this bad lol.

With SB-E comming out soon not to mention Ivy Bridge in the near future (22nm process utilizing tri state transistors!!) I am solidly with Intel for the foreseeable future.

I honestly don't know how AMD is going to make it back from this. Maybe they should just concentrate on their Fusion APU's.

[Ronaldo95163]

I guess Intel will always be the best

[xaira]

im starting to wonder why amd even keeps trying at the high end, stay mid range and low end where they actually compete, 95 watts should be the highest tdp they reach, look at the desktop version of fusion, great product at a great price netbook/tablet fusion even the athlon quad cores all great contenders besides the fact that most profits come from mid/low end
