Intel chipset only...

with 2 or 4 DIMMS is dual channel

1 or 3 DIMMS is single channel

so 512+512+512 is single channel though

thats why i got itchy to buy another RAM to make my thing dual channel

512+512+1024 initial setup

@Klemann C
Perhaps it's the mobo itself kong edi

915P also can support flex memory technology form Intel,see here!

i guess time to moves on with new mobo.....
need to burried this old man

Hie people, how you all doing?

So any new news to share?

absolutely nothing is up

the week comes an end

so our s478 systems are really pushing the definitions of long lasting computing

Haha.. Nothing is up KahLooN but instead, everything is down. Well well.. Guess nothing much our P4 old school system can contribute much beside our own daily task.

still gaming RA3 with it >< & also some online game

SO P4 still Long Lasting

im RA3'ing on it as well and satisfied .. online gaming? well, online games usually have little requirements so i dun worry much of online games

they are catered for all kinds of PC

@fylon
How's your mobo? Back from RMA edi?

Hi brother,where have you been?Long time din see you here.

fylon,your mobo RMA?Which one?

Pentium D user here *guess we share the same thing*

I agree , these are long lasting processors. They are hot and not as fast as Core 2 Duos but they still do get their job done. Lets wait for Intel's Core i7 or something like that before making a jump. Once the new platform is stable and the prices of DDR3 are cheap , then we should leap !

Long live Pentium 4 and D

Lol,same moto ya....I thought nobody is using Pentium D already in this forum.

His Gigabyte P35 DS3

Forgot when he RMA it already,long time before?

It seems that people here are changing rings like every second ! However as for me , after spending like ~RM1.6k on the processor itself , I would think twice before upgrading that fast. Rather skip the C2D Madness (as I got a Pentium E2180 for the HTPC) and replace my main rig with i7 (hopefully). So lets see how far it lasts

My Pentium D can do lots of things . rip dvds , playback 720p (1080p bit laggy but i can watch 1080p videos with the help of the GPU). Its just that its hot and it isnt that bad as people describe it. I do remember back in the 90s whereby processor "upgrade" cards cost you a fortune and these old CPUs do have a Turbo function (ain't it neat and these 486s are still being used today in airplanes and many other industries)

Whoa,you spent RM1.6k to buy the processor alone last time? Your Pentium D seems like not bad still can watch 1080p format movies with minimal lag. P4 is only able to watch 720p format movies with a few frames lag in the whole movie. Seems like brother side by side ya.Unfortunately our gpu can't help us to play hd movies. I solute those people who is able to upgrade frequently when new tech is out.

Can you mention more on the CPUs Turbo function? I would like to know more with the function. During 90's i was still no chance to touch with computers.

reminds me...

10yrs a go my home has a Pentium 133MHz...

with Turbo on, it runs at 180MHz, that's approx. 30% boost, and still with stock heatsink...

think of it as overclocking in today's terms...

Last time's CPU also can "overclock" just with the function of Turbo on?
