The preys will be all yours.
One on the neck, 10 inside (maybe more), 6 on each side of the tanks shoulders standing and drinking margarita's :D No?

I am very confused by this post??? what does the motherboard have to do with the amount of RAM you are planning to install?

Just because it supports up to 24gb of RAM does not mean that is what must be installed.... I only have 6gb of DDR3 installed....later down the road, I can upgrade to 8gb... 12gb... or even 24gb.

Just because it supports that amount does not mean that is what you must get LOL I hope that was not a basis for your decision to get the ASUS Rampage II because it also supports 24gb of ram... essentially you paid alot more for a MB that performs the same as its brother, just named a lil different to appeal to the younger crowd looking for an edge. and with $100 more tacked onto the pricetag.

PS: I am not making these posts to put you down for your decisions, but to rather put it out there for anyone searching this topic for their next build... it's good to learn from others mistakes. I also hate to see people throw their money away

Don't undestand what is ambiguous with my post.
24GB's is overkill? Yeah right and Rampage II does not support 24GB's but maximum 12GB's but hey maybe in the third world country you live in. :D
I'm an enthusiastic. Stick with your 6GB's because speed & acceleration aren't your priorities.
For years now Asus came out with always an top model that standouts with performance & stability. P6T is a derivative of Rampage.

And the confusion continues....

whats with the personal attacks? America is a 3rd world country now?


It is NOT limited to only 12gb DDR3. once 4gb modules are released in desktop trim (Some are out already) you could get up to 24gb DDR3 easy, it supports up to 48gb DDR4 memory. to be exact....


I never said 24gb is overkill, you did.


What is an "enthusiastic?"

you mean Enthusiast but what do I know i am from third world America, right?


Speed and performance are my priorities, my 920 overclocked at 4ghz blows your 965 out of the water all day everyday.


6gb of DDR3 at 2000mhz is more then enough for me and my needs. When DDR3 4gb sticks come out and the price is reasonable, i will upgrade to 24gb. But living in third world america, it's kind of difficult to afford right now all my money is going towards rice and tattered clothes from the salvation army.

Oh dude, I tolerate a lot but people who are just not well-informed need to be sometimes acknowledged proper informations. That's all.
BUT
I still would love to own a tank

Following your posts on this board, it seems you are the one who is "not well-informed"


sorry...

curious GNYS...


why did you go with the i7 965?

for 1/4 of the price, you can purchase the 920, overclock to 3.8 or higher and stomp the performance of the 965 by quite a margin.... so curious why you went with the $1000 CPU?

The 965 has multi-threading enabled with a total of 8 threads and 4 more logical cores for a total of 8 cores running in a octal setting. This feature is futureproof for the ever changing software demands while the mutli-threading technology is still immature.
Native ram support is 1.3GHz while other i7 cores are 1.06Ghz.
This is Flash.
I didn't purchase this cpu for overclocking and the idea won't be approached neither maybe only in the future if I intend on extending on a liquid cooling system. Flash doesn't need a nitrogen boost since by default the turbo boost technology is available.
Indeed it's a $1000 chip but an enthusiastic has demands for speed & acceleration of an F-16 and Flash here certainly doesn't dissappoint.

All i7s have 4 cores with 8 logical cores.

Only main difference between the 965 and the 920/940 (apart from the clock speed) is it has the 6.4GT/s as opposed to the 4.8GT/s the other two have.

I have a feeling Jr here was fed a line of well...crap by his salesmen and is in complete denial over some things, especially being had and spending over $1000 on a CPU...he's an "enthusiastic" but does not overclock? lol....... but i live in a 3rd world country, what do i know.

Case Fans.

120mm - Please recommend some for me

Akasa 120mm ultra quiet (17.5 Dba)

Amplid

Price?
Where I can buy one from?
US?

 

[Majkel]

I would recommend Noctua NF-P12 fans. I have four of those and they're really quiet and very efficent They've put down my overall system noise by quite noticable ammount of dB*

(* - using my personal stereo noise meter device, called ears )

But he is an "enthusiastic" and as such, must tolerate "Us poor ill-informed third world residents who need to be sometimes acknowledged proper informations"

NF-P12's are great The only flaw they have is that they are pretty ugly

Im not so sure that is entirely correct there.. Take an old Motherboard that supposedly support only 4GB of RAM and try to put more in it, It will most likely still only recognize 4GB. The chipset is the big limiting factor here..

 

[Everlong]

The ASUS website shows the whole of their x58 lineup having a maximum of 24GB of RAM, nothing about 48GB.

Only fully buffered RAM generally has 4GB RAM sticks, and the i7's don't support this, and there's only 2GB DDR3 RAM sticks for them, so it's kind of a catch 22.

I see you edited your quote... but here it is again...

Uh buddy, The RAM limitations of a motherboard are exactly that, a limitation. The motherboard will only "see" and recognize that much RAM. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with the limitation bigger RAM modules not being available, but you go ahead and try to get that P6T to recognize 24GB of RAM.

The P6T Deluxe DOES Support & recognize up to 24gb DDR3 ram.... and 48GB DDR4 when it becomes available....

As for the Rampage II that he has, that he claims only support 12gb DDR3 (And the reason he bought it according to him) Actually has the capability to support up to 48GB DDR4 memory (When released)

Direct from ASUS: It supports 24GB DDR3 & Also will support 48gb DDR4....

they dont list it in the specs, but it is generally well known that when DDR4 takes over that it will support up to 48gb of DDR RAM.... and the Core i7's support this as well from what I have been reading.

That's good news, and hopefully performance RAM will follow shortly behind it.

Question for all of you:

ATi Radeon X1900GT (512MB) or eVGA 9800GT (512MB) - Which is better?

I currently have the ATi card but found the 9800GT and a 9800GTX on ebay. Wanted to know if I would notice any graphic enhancements...

Currently I play Battlefield 2 but want to get into more games down the road after I upgrade some other parts of my system (Mobo & Ram).

Any help/advice is appreciated

Thanks
