First off, only guessing....

but I see no reason why only putting 2 sticks in wouldn't have it run just fine in dual channel mode, but then your just wasting all that yummy possible bandwidth.

Fill all 4 and then you have channel 0 with one stick that won't be interleaved with anything all by it's lonesome. This will be a similar situation to using a normal board today with 3 slots populated. As I haven't ever played with this, I don't know how the performance goes, but I expect that this would only hurt you on read or writes done on addresses that are physically located in that un-interleaved space.

:up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :clap:

And yes, back OT, awesome day. I look forward to when out lead in the dailies is clinched. Soon I think.....:up:

Wes, Thx. I'm ultimately adding these as new machines. I'm not about to shed any Q6600s yet....:D

I intend to get one just to test out what board to use it on. I've got an IP35 pro cranked up to 460 FSB (6x multi on it's Q6600) as a test to make sure I can handle the 8x multi the X3350 has. I think it will be the first test bed. The part will end up in a new machine.

Regards,
Bob

I'm glad so many of you are adding more quads ! I have to admit, I was drunk when I posted that I'd add another if you guys did. And now I just bought a pair of external (for now) 1TB Hitachi drives from Best Buy on closeout for $213 each. So no budget for another quad now that my fileserver is finally getting hardware ! All talk, no action... ;)

EDIT: Awesome day guys!

pffft! just ADD a machine, Wes. :)

~~~~~~~~~

I clicked on the "Add to Cart" button, for an x3350, at lagoom, but didn't go through with it.
I really, really wanted to but seeing as I have some things incoming and parts yet to be ordered I thought I better not. DAMN!

EDIT: A X3350 is winging it's way here soon. Another will follow when I'm done figuring out what mobo to use them on.

I'll get another one if two of you others will agree to also !
OK, make that three.
And I reserve the right to rescind this offer once I sober up.

I won't hold it against you, not too much anyway.... ;) You did say you reserve the right in the original post.....:ROTF:

Now the question is, how many times has each of us started out with "I was drunk when I....xxxxx...xxxx...."?

Blast! Only 10,000 points behind Riptide but I had to give up the 8 core machine today to, you know, it's intended user at work. :mad:

But I'm going to get some heavy duty tire spikes.

I don't want to see a message like "objects in mirror may have already passed you"
