Do you loose the dual channel feature if you go with a 2 gig stick and a 1 gig stick ? I know you do with desktops, just wondering if it was the same case with dell laptops ?

I have just moved over the components from the rig in sig to a DFI LT X38 T2R, and overclocked it to 3.85ghz same as with the old Gigabyte P35 DQ6. I am experiencing a high pitched sqealing sound from one of the components. Its either the motherboard or the psu but very hard to tell. Here is...

I am experiencing similar results, with out xfire I see smoother gameplay in cod4, crysis. With it enabled, the fps drops by about 20%. I was thinking maybe because I am running 16x/4x xfire which is causing the problem ? The other thing I was wondering about was the x2 only has one crossfire...

Purchased my dfi x38 t2r from abroad as got tired of waiting for ocuk to stock them. Anyways the x38 chipset is EOL, if ocuk are to stock dfi motherboards then the x48 ones would be a good start.

ok guys I installed a sapphire 3870xt in the 4x slot and gave 3dmarks 06 a run. With just the x2 I was getting 19,400, with the 3 cores i`m getting 19, 775. Something has to be wrong somewhere ? re installed drivers, catalyst detects both cards and enables xfire. Tried crysis, was hardly...

yes, via overdrive.

Have a 3870 xt coming tomorrow, will see how well it does with the x2. Currently getting 19,400 points in 3dmark 06 with rig in sig. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help answer. Do the core and mem speeds (for all 3 gpus) have to be same for best overall performance ? The x2 is at...

Should have mine tomorrow, delivery via Royal Mail. Got my Asus eee pc coming tomorrow aswell... 2 new toys to play with.

Anyone here have a setup (or know of) where one could stream x264 format files (wirelessly) from a bedroom pc to the living room to some sort of media player, then to a tv via a hdmi connection ? Cant seem to find a decent wireless media player that supports x264, the ones I have read reviews...

BT recently decided to offer free broadband to its emplyoees instead of anual shares in the company, which works out to the same. This is the first time I have ever heard of BT taking note of what a user downloads, very unlikely to be honest, unless at the request of the police or the courts...
