How will Conroe and its supporting chipsets handle 4GB(4x1GB)? That's what I'm hoping for in a Conroe build.

I am running a next generation ATI chipset. (hearing brakes lock up)

This will be the hot board this summer.

That is all the information I can give at this time.

4GB is fine with Conroe

With Conroe, it is possible to disable one core from bios and force all 4MB cache on one core. This will yield a higher overclock of a few hundred Mhz.

One core is going to be faster than the other, can we expect the worse core to be disabled?

Of course i've got single threaded benchmarks @ maximum speed in mind ;)

New Ati chipset faster and/or more overclockable than Intel? Would be interesting if true.

I have decided nothing yet but I tend to favour the 900w Tagan psu

would it Seasonic S-12 430BH be enough for Conroe rig?

I'll take:

Asus P5B Deluxe :)
Core Duo E6600 :slobber:
2048 MB SyncMax DDR2-800 (Elpida based) 4-4-4-12 @ 1,9 V
+ my 7800 GTX
+ 4x250 Gig Samsung RAID5 + 2x160 Gig Samsung RAID0

i have a question, a silly it might be, but would someone mind explaining, why people are choosing the PC6400 RAMs instead of those PC8000 ones? shouldnt the PC8000 ones would be able to yield higher overclocks? somethin like PC4800 DDR1 which guarantees u 300Mhz?

Man Im glad I joined up. Loadz happening on XS :toast:

Cant wait to hear what that chipset can do.

Would that be the R600 chipset?

I was reading a bit about that chipset and somewhere it says that motherboards with this chipset can handle physics while a video card could do everything else. This in turn would eliminate the need for those extra physics cards.

Do you know anything about that?

Also read that ATI has already sent out Directx10 devkits to video game creators. ATI seems to have gotten really cozy with Microsoft :smileysex At the moment it looks like ATI is doing alot of things right. Haven't heard too much out of the nvidia camp except that my future intel based system I invest in will not have enough bandwidth to support SLI :rolleyes:

looks good with the asus board ,but lacking 2x8 or 2x16 when running crossfire ? its simalar to 955 chipset with one at 8 and other at 4 .when in cf mode . im not sure though.

Uhm Charles, that sure sounds like a killer in 01/03/AM3 when disabling :)

So what is the NDA date for Conroe specs's officially? Also I heard this morning that it will run on existing I865 motherboards (yes, AGP, DDR1, etc.) Can anyone confirm or deny this information? I believe the INQ posted the story this morning.

I believe it first, when I see it. ;) :stick:

I believe Intel is launching Conroe at Computex.

I'm surprised there has been no details for an nvidia chipset for Conroe, delays perhaps?

:shock: when can we expect more infos about that board/chipset? :stick:

Unless for benching I don't really see the need for a high-end Conroe. Maybe a dual-G80 or dual-R600 setup can really stress it, but even then I doubt that at high resolutions the Conroe will be limitting performance any time soon.
