    Lovely speed, but I wonder what all that heat output will do the ambient temperature.

      Watercooling for memory is only a question of when, not if :)

    Seriously, this sounds a lot like any other marketing gimmick ever invented. And it is just asking for a car analogy. Simply replace $COMPANY with Chevrolet, and start imagining the rest..!

    Yeah, like giving it to me so I can spend it on hardware that will be outdated in 6 months.

    It's sad when choosing an installation directory on your own qualifies you as an "advanced user."

    If the smell is really strong it is probably some sort of infection which is causing there to be high levels of trimethylamine oxide which cause a fishy odor. Get her on a regimen of Flagyl to treat the infection.

  5. But does it come with ECC? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I can't find registered ECC DDR2 faster than 667 MHz. Why?
    I was hoping my next machine would be a quad core with 800 MHz DDR2 and ECC.
    Much as my current machine is PC3200 DDR with registered ECC. No sense throttling down the relative bandwidth per core.

    [Please don't waste time trying to convince me I don't need ECC.
    SGIs taught me otherwise and soft error rates really are on the rise. Just answer the question thanks.]

    the computer wouldn't even post until I used the big thick power cable that came with the power supply.

    Also commonly known as plugging it in :P

    The basic structure of Dynamic RAM has not changed, it still takes about 50nS for row precharge (Tras
    and 20bS column reads. All they've done is speed up the interface logic. The memory cell access is no faster.
    OK, so once you've opened a row, you can read that faster, but how many operating systems are
    optimized to keep the data row aligned in the system memory? You have a data request that is outside
    of the row you've opened, you have to close that row and open another, 120nS penalty.
    At 1.0GHz, that's 120 clock cycles.

    This isn't a new DRAM chip. This is an ad from the fan and heatsink crowd.
