Alamak, A got high RMA rate? Planning to buy m3a78 Pro leh...

Problem with G is that most of them m-atx.

Dunno... byfc say...

You no problem with A? Now they offer quite good ATX board with AMD 780 support.

Biostar 790GX baords very cheap leh, less than RM400, I scared not good. Anybody got anything to say about Biostar?

Wa, Biostar really that good? The 790GX is so much cheaper than G and A.

If really that good I will hunt hunt shoot shoot for it liao


Btw, does Asus M3a78 Pro support VT technology? Can't find in the specifications.

According to a newegg review, M4A78 does not support it.

Owners of M4a78 motherboards, does your motherboard supprort AMD Virtualization? Because according to a review in newegg it doesn't.

What about M3A78 owners? Does your support it?

Since it's hardware acceleration there could be a chance that motherboards play a role also. At first I thought all motherboards have this feature until I saw the review in Newegg.

Do share your overclocking and core unlocking experience and results here bro!

It's very frustrating that motherboard websites, Asus and Gigabyte alike do not state if they support Virtualization technology in their specifications.

I don't know, maybe I'm a very suspicious kind of person. That's why I don't really trust Biostar, I think I will go for Gigabyte, GA-MA780G-UD3H. It gives me a safer feel, maybe I'm stupid for thinking that way... but oh well...


Anyway, as you all may know high end board the specifications say they will support like 1200/1066/800 MHz RAM. What happens when you slot in 667 or 533 RAM? What will happen?

Bottlenecks always happen it's a matter of how much.

I'm not sure about 3DMark06, but I'm quite sure that 7750 does not bottleneck 9800gt too much.

Is that sarcasm?

Anyway, I'm not an overclocker so I've got no experience whatsoever in it. I've just seen many people with lower end CPUs like Athlon X2 6000+ having not much problem with bottlenecks even though they use 4850.

Now I don't know if I want to buy 550BE or 720 BE

I plan to use my computer for the next 5 years or so and I don't know if my 550 BE will be at the disadvantage in the future because it only has 2 cores whereas 720BE still can tahan a bit coz 3 cores is quite good.

Not so rich ler

Not to mention with money Intel can further the gap by 'Providing incentives for choosing our products'.

3 years ago I was still stupid, conned by a business man that is confirmed bribed someway or another by Intel.

He say AMD not stable go ask me get Pentium D.

Regretted ever since

That is why my next rig this year will definitely be AMD!

Intel's market share is about 30 times larger than AMD.

Haiya use liquid nitrogen then world record liao lor, easy de.

According to the AM3 OC guide as posted by a forumer just a moment ago, you should let it run for at least 3 hours because AM3 CPUs will stress the most at around 2 hours.

Wow, so fast Athlon II gonna out already! What about Phenom II X2? Same date as Athlon II or?

Now I'm still thinking of getting dual core or triple core.... so I'll wait for the reviews to come in then I can finally make my decision hehe.

I have a question... Hope it can be answered.

Let's say the motherboard specification say it supports DDR2 RAM 667/800/etc/etc

What will happen if I slot in a 533Mhz DDR2 RAM inside?

Will it even work?
If it works, will it cause problem in the future?
Or will it work without any problem?

Why is it then that the motherboard needs to list out the supported RAM?
