i have two questions and i don't know where to post them, so i figured i'd start here.
1) does anyone know how to calculate (or even approximate) the degradation of performance based on the distance from the cpu to the memory? on some motherboards i've noticed the memory is placed above the cpu socket and sometimes to the side of the socket, and not always equidistant in each case. i'm not asking because i'm worried about what motherboard to purchase. i know the difference would be infinitesimal, but what if the memory was, say, 3 feet away instead of 3 inches away? anyone know how to calculate the degradation of performance based on distance?
2) anyone know what gauge (awg) copper the pins are on a socket 939 cpu, or any cpu for that matter? is there a gauge measurement for wires on a printed circuit board? does the gauge of the copper on the motherboard change depending on what device the cpu is communicating with or the distance it is away from the cpu (the further the distance, the greater the awg?)?
I know number two is a bunch of questions, but I think you see where I'm going.
