cache is for the CPU to store frequently used data so that it doesn't need to retrieve from the RAM or HDD, thus making the process much quicker...
usually, more cache would help, but too much, is not necessarily a good thing also, as too much will increase the time to search as well... for AMD K8 CPU, cache doesn't really help so much, they are not shared anyway... it's the speed that really counts... |

QUOTE(Batusai @ Jul 26 2009, 01:47 PM) wonder if theres something wrong in the price list here.. all correct except for CPU...AMD Turion X2 QL64-2.1Ghz 2GB DDR2 PC667 Dual Channel 250GB Ultra DMA harddisk and so on.. the processor is a mistake itself right? and the ram given is double 1Gb rite? which makes it dual channel.. and its only 667Mhz? a AMD QL64 is definetely an Athlon... Turion is TL, while Turion Ultra is ZM... using 667MHz makes sense since that's the max speed that an Athlon can support... u'll need a Turion if u want to use 800MHz instead... |

well, perhaps the shop put in 800MHz, but at the end of the day, it will be downclocked to 667MHz, since that's the max speed that Athlon x2 can support...

DNA claims that they optimize Catalyst for gaming... never try it though cuz the last time i used screwed up my MBR...
Asus 1 is basically same as the official one from AMD... |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Jul 27 2009, 02:06 AM) Both, astria already say what I want to say try the Win7 driver... they work, but u need to install Asus' one then AMD's will recognize the GPU...Currently I use the driver from the CD, I've tried DNA before, not much difference. It supposed to have some tweaks over official driver, but the main reason why I put it there is because the official driver from ATi/AMD DOES NOT support Mobility cards |
