Anyone know the AMD 900 series mobo will get UEFI support or not?
just got dual 2TB of WD black but cannot set as boot drive if formatted with GPT(GUID Partition Table, the only way to 100% utilize HDD more than 2.2TB).

old BIOS only support MBR disk but will stuck at 2.2TB + problematic

UEFI depends on mobo manufacturer not AMD

9 series is expected to be released/showcased in CeBit (1-3 March)

not so sure bro, never have d chance to test athlon & deneb & d same time, but i reckon deneb should fares better in most appications, includin this.

btw, i've pm'ed d moderating team of oc united & few of u guys regardin d compy. can u check whether d mini proposal is attached bro? thanks...

i think the lack of L3 cache does have impact on it.

IF AMD didnt adopt it you will never see UEFI-enabled AMD mobo from the mobo maker liao
I really hope the next gen mobo will support UEFI, i wanna oc with mouse! click click click!

wiki

it is independent of cpu etc....means depends on mobo manufacturer la bro whether they want to use it or not

I never said UEFI is dependent on CPU on my previous post, is depend on chipset thats why im asking the mobo, not CPU
800 series chipset may support hdd over 2.2TB because the sata driver support 64bit LBA, the only things missing is the UEFI AMD mobo

guys, one final decision to be made before d compy starts officially... d moderating team has given d green light but there's a suggestion that we mite wanna put a speed cap in order for fairer competition among all.

it does make sense as thuban will definitely dominate cinebench & wprime 1024m due to higher overclockability (even we are limitin thuban users to down core their chip to x4). so we would need d helps from all (especially deneb & propus) to suggest a clock for d so call speed cap. from my experience, few of d best batches of deneb can take 3.8~4.0GHz bench stable. should i suggest d speed cap to be at 3.8~3.9GHz? what say u guys? pls revert asap so that we can have d compy to kick start asap too... many thanks in advance...

p/s: i'm not so sure bout cinebench, but wprime doesn't really greatly affect by os tweakin (from my noob experience lah). so it's all down to how one tweak d max outta cpu clock, nb freq + ram.

unker u suggest la

lower ghz + less cores = more fighting!!!

4GHz multithreaded benchmarks mite be too much for deneb, that's why i'm suggestin slightly lower than that. what say d thuban users?

Hahahaha, i don't mind u want to put 3.6ghz speed cap also can
Maybe 3.8ghz speed cap the best no?

ok guys, 3.8GHz it is then... gimme few minutes... to get d thread up...

*p/s... basket, my ss is not 3.8GHz...

anyone can help on this? my office doesn't have thuban leh...

Hi guys,
haven't been into AMD news quite long already...
Our next generation CPUs are FUsion cores only?
Thouse APUs?

Currently looking to upgrade my rig...
But not sure when will the next gen comes...
Anyone enlighten me please? =)

was looking to jump ship to intel 2500k...
but then i saw how they overclock the rig is so odd compare to our AMD...

now thinking to jump or not... plus the sata bug which will be fixed by april is holding me back...

Wait for BD 1st la bro, who knows its a whopper with a gud price Beside if u wait a bit more maybe more choice for u in both camps so u can make the decision easier

but now is the low price period for DDR3 Ram, kinda looking too offload my DDR2 rams and change to DDR3 platform which means i need to change my mobo too... Advice me to change mobo and ram only? XD

Get a good not that expensive but oc'able mobo + DDR3 lor, maybe a Asus M4A87TD + DDR3 for ur usage, cpu stick to ur X3 1st, later on when new AM3+ mobo launch u can just buy a mobo + BD

ops, it is here, right place to post??

busy reviewin products eh sir? nice stuff there... what's d price???
