It\'s funny how people can attempt to go off on me, when all I did was simply point out that ya\'ll should do some research before trying to give someone else hell. The other guy who my statement was aimed towards was tellin people about 2 gb on an A64, when I know damn well how much 2 gb kills performance on an A64, thus I told him why, and essentially was doing a service as such. NOWEHRE did I say my system was the best, I simply was pointing out that 2-2-2-5 1t timings ARE something to aim for with an A64 system...Learn to read and you\'d know that.


 Yes, I was off topic, but so was the guy who posted about his 2gb a64, as well as you guys now.... Pot and the kettle kids, pot and the kettle.

Also, here\'s how to differiate lag types, for the original poster. If you see stutters, or what appears to be frameskips, it\'s due to your system. If it\'s your processor or videocard it\'ll be slow all around,if it\'s memory then it\'ll run smooth with pauses, and if it\'s your i-net connection people will move very odd(appear to be teleporting). There, now I\'m not off topic, so get off my nuts!

I wasn\'t even going to sign up for this forum, much less post here...But the nubs here have made me do it...

You claim the \"best of the best\", and spit words like 2 gigs of ram on an A64? If you put 2 gigs of ram on an A64 then YOU SIR ARE AN IDIOT!!! Due to how the A64\'s memory controller operates, putting in 4 sticks switching the memory command rate to 2T, which essentially drops your ram speed/bandwidth HARDCORE! If you bought 2 1 gig sticks, then the timings WILL be 3-4-4-8, at 3-4-4-8 the A64\'s performance is actually SLOWER than it\'s p4 equivilant, as the A64 LIVES FOR LOW TIMINGS! 2 gigs on an A64 is SLOWER than 1 gig no matter how you slice it, and by a BIG margin. Also, NO game uses more than 1 gig...NONE.

Next, DDR2 SUCKS in it\'s current state, as tccd ram modules like GSkill LE\'s OWN any ddr2 on the market. Why\'s that? The memory timings again, that faster speed don\'t mean anything when it\'s taking more clock cycles per operation to do the same as GOOD ddr....

That said, here\'s MY rig, which might I add pulls 70 fps on the Doom3 timedemo at 1600x1200...That\'s right 70!

2.5 ghz A64 3500+(overclocked to that 2.5, it was 2.2 at stock)
1 gig PDP Patriot XBL at 2-2-2-5 timings(again, the best)
dual 120 gig Seagate barracudas in a Raid 0 config
6800Gt overclocked to 440/1250
Gigabyte NF4 K8NS939 Ultra
......
Now READ BEFORE YOU TRY AND CALL SOMEONE OUT ON SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!
