Hello, fellow forumers & 6400 users. It's been a while since I visited this thread. The last time was probably when it was still V5.

Bought my 6400 in Dec. 2006. Intel C2D T7200 (2GHz, 667MHz FSB, 4MB L2), 1GB (2 x 512MB) RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, WinXP.

I have some questions.
1) What's the difference between models 6400 & i6400?
2) When was the 6400 released? Curious to know who's 6400 lasts the longest & to have an idea how long a 6400 can last.
3) What are the non-physical tell-tale signs that the 6400 is getting old?
4) What's the max. RAM memory that WinXP (32-bit) utilize?
5) Is there a limit to the RAM memory that can be upgraded? Plan to upgrade mine to 4GB for additional performance since I can't upgrade the processor. Hope my 6400 can last til' Win7.
6) Will there be any performance benefit if I get RAM memory of 800MHz (clk. speed) or more?
7) What's the difference between SO-DIMM & normal DIMM RAMs? Can I insert SO-DIMM RAMs in the 6400?

Thx.

Hi. How do we disable the 6400 "turn off monitor after <time>" function, i.e. keep the monitor always on? Tried setting it to "Never" in the Power Properties but didn't work. Monitor still goes off after about 5 min.s.

Thx.

I wonder if my sys. (C2D T7200, 667MHz FSB) can support 800MHz RAMs & gaming RAMs, knowing that the RAM would definitely run on 667MHz clock speed. Since the price of 800MHz RAMs are about the same, if not cheaper than 667MHz RAMs, I hope I would not regret getting the 800MHz ones.

Any 6400 users tried this before?

Also considering dual-channelling 2 x 1GB.
