AMD's 3GHz K10 to break 30,000 3DMark06 (Inq)

Um, you obviously don't have 2900's. Nor do you know ANYTHING about how system ram is handled.


they take a mere 256mb of system ram, thanks. Vista Home premium, 32. Not EVERY memory address must be accounted for, really. Heck, 256MB 9800 pro's only used 128MB of vidram, at the beginning...


Guess you don't run dual cards, period, 'cause that's been the case for 512MB cards since day one.

Nevermind, my system right now has phys-X, 128mb, and removing it DOES NOT CHANGE THE AMT OF AVAILABLE SYSTEM ram. You gotta stop beleiving everything you read, man.

A 512MB card that windows only allocates 256MB of RAM to? I doubt it, and if that's the case then there is obviously something very wrong with them or the drivers. Because in order for windows to use or even know the memory is there, it has to assign it a memory address. If it's only assigning them 256MB each, then there is something clearly wrong with them. It is not possible for Windows to use un addressed memory, since if it's not addressed it doesn't exist to windows.

And I do run dual 8800GTXs and in 32Bit XP it only shows a max of 2.5GB of RAM available when both of my GTXs are installed.
