Review: Mushkin 512MB PC4000 Dual Pack  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | For the fastest front side bus, Mushkin recommends their PC4000 (obviously), however for the lowest latency at lower speeds Mushkin recommends their PC3200/PC3500 products. This is an important consideration for Intel vs AMD users. Mushkin tests and certifies their PC4000 RAM at DDR500 on Intel 875/865 chipsets, as well as DDR400 on Intel 875/865, VIA KT400, KT600, K8T800 and nVidia nForce2 & nForce3. | |  | |  | | GeIL 256MB PC3200 400MHz DDR Value RAM | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | GeIL offers an entire range of memory products with modules designed to match all levels of OEM and enthusiast computing standards. The upper tier of the GeIL product range is clearly dominated by the Golden Dragon Series, though GeIL stills offers many products better suited for entry-level and standard desktop usage. It is the latter we will be concentrating upon today, as not every system configuration is built specifically for overclocking beyond PC-3200 (400 MHz DDR) specifications. | | | | | | | GeiL Ultra Platinum PC4400 Review @ GruntvillE.com | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | So what kind of performance will these modules provide and how do they stack against our current KotH favorite from Corsair? Will they be held back from their full potential because of the CPU or will they be the one doing the retraining? Read on as we find out. | | | | | | | Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott review @ Hexus.net | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | To somewhat counteract the longer pipeline and increased hit on performance resulting from cache misses, Intel's also improved general prefetching (loading up the right data) and enhanced that lovely Hyper-Threading. Another effort in ensuring the Prescott, under certain circumstances, does more than the Northwood is by adding SSE3 support. SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) optimisation can reap enormous benefits if coded for correctly. Simplifying it down, having one instruction operate concurrently on multiple data saves time and raises efficiency. Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) adds 13 more instructions to SSE2's set. Extremely useful if done correctly. | | | | | | | Intel Desktop Processor Roadmap Update | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | Intel's recent shift in its CPU roadmap for 2005 and beyond has certainly given a lot of people a lot to talk about. However it hasn't really affected their 2004 lineup, a spicy roadmap for which has just landed in my Inbox. The roadmap covers all desktop and mobile processors scheduled to be released in 2004 and early 2005. | | | | | | | |
