So let's hope AMD tweaks the DDR3 mem controller and mobo's successfully. It it's worth an upgrade I may consider, but right now DDR3 memory is way to overpriced.

you can get 2 gigs for $100, thats not that bad I think.

my new max

it will almost bench 3dmark06 aswell

not really some kits are as low as 75.00. these 1333 kits have tight timing and will also do ddr3 1600+ and the 1600 kit even higher.

let me see if mine can do the same tonight

I can get stable 3dmarks on air at about 3.954ghz and bench and play games, believe it or not.. My ram holds me back from going higher as does the front side bus for some reason.

mine is 100% stable 237*16.5 (3.9ghz) pushing the ram to 126x and NB to 2.8ghz or so

Well I guess Dual-Channel is cheaper than the Tri-Channel for the Intel CPU's. But for me I will never go bellow 4GB. I eventually want to go 16GB. And I am already at 8GB. The more memory the less CPU OC but I need the memory.

Each to their own.

I am going to get a tri channel kit myself soon, 3gigs, if I need more then I guess its up to 6 gigs.

At least my current 2 gigs can be used when the am3 ddr3 phenoms are out

Well, yes I assume you have the newer Tri_Channel Intel CPU's right. They are nice processors and I would love to get my hands on a Core i7 setup but it just costs way too much for the motherboard ($484) I want and the 12GB DDR3-1600 ($359 x 2) ram I want. The CPU is priced O.K. though.

wow those prices in canada are horrible.

I got my rig running here in the us for $835 everything.

However lets get back on topic dude, dont think mods will like this

Wow, way too much money

NO NO NO, WHY WHY WHY???? Say hi to DDR2 most of 2009 and DDR3 for the end of 2009 :shadedshu

RD890D delayed to Q4 2009

SB850 as well

AMD's replacement for 790FX and the SB750 Southbridge won't arrive until Q4 2009. Previously many expected to see this chipset in very late Q2, roughly Computex time, but according to the latest info this simply won’t happen as soon as many expected.

The chipset is AM3 only, and AMD wants to get rid of AM2+ legacy and infrastructure and continue with DDR3 platform. The new RD890 chipset supports HT3, 2x16PCIe or 4x8 with second generation PCIe , as well as enhanced Quad Crossfire X 4x8 support.

The SB850 Southbridge has all the features of SB750 Southbridge as well as Gigabit MAC, AHCI 1.2, new clock gen as well as second generation PCIe 4X.

Until Q4 2009, AMD 790FX or AMD 790GX integrated chipsets will remain the only two for the new Phenom AM3 based CPUs, at least until the RD890D comes out.

I agree, that sucks.

i think i'm going to sell my 945ES and get a 720BE and another 8800GTS 512

anyone have opinions on that?

I'd do that too. I wanna see how high that 720BE clocks

think that my current PSU is enough for 2 8800GTS's?

 

[ShadowFold]

I would say maybe. I had a GTX 280 running on an antec 500w with a 940 so anything can happen

sweet it should work i ran a 7950GX2 and 8800gts and 7750BE together no issues

here is a ES 720BE

Hello again!

We wanted to put our new F1 EE to test, but the best CPU we had was Phenom II X3 720 ES
Of course any pot would be enough for a coldbug-free CPU, but Vince's F1 is amazing, pour-and-forget

Unfortunately our AM3 board refused to work in low temps, and when we switched to M3A79T-Deluxe it was too late and we ran out of LN2. We only have some quick results.

AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE (engineering sample) + Kingpins F1 EE

Damn.. Now I want one lol too bad I don't have any LN2

you just got a new chip


oh well they need to go freaking retail@newegg

So? I see you guys change hardware about as much as I do idk I really like my 7750 I might just get a second 4830. The only thing stopping me is I can already max everything.. I might save up for a 990 and some DDR3
