Nehalem-EP......BLOOMFIELD

[Blauhung]

Trust me I know the difference I know shintai is saying "even in his jerk way of saying it", that you can't run PCI-E through to the PCH because DMI doesn't allow it since it is limited to 2GB. I asked him a question, it got ignored. So, to see if I'm on an ignore list, just post something blatantly wrong and wait for his correction. Not a single reply from about 7 other posts as well. I was just checking to see if I was completely ignored or an invisible poster. Sorry folks, my bad.

lol, why are you quoting me on this though

You guys can guess that I'm following this thread because even at 56, I have permawood waiting for Nehalem....
BUT what I see is a lot of guys who are much smarter than I am and know much more about the internal design of the cpus essentially trying to "one up" each other with that knowledge and where beliefs collide slamming one another even if it's done in a "cutesy" way.
Is it necessary? Can't people keep an open mind and say to themselves that maybe they don't know it all and the other guy might, just might understand one area better than they do?
It really comes across at times like two 15 year olders dropping trou and saying "mine is bigger than yours"
Ego is a thing best left in another room when accessing the forum and discussing.
You learn more, you make friends vs enemies and your blood pressure stays lower.
I sit here, I read and try to comprehend a technology that wasn't available back when I was in school and probably had a few million more brain cells, at least the ones that help with learning, but I honestly wonder and am frustrated at times with the apparent need to be "right"
Voice your opinion, back it up with facts if you have them or if not, just say that this is how I "think" it works and then read what the other guys says.
WE all learn this way and at the end of the day aren't cursing on another.

You didn't get the memo that everything must involve people being right all the time?

No, I missed that one.
Definately not me. I've learned from many people here and hopefully passed on some info to help others.
Maybe it's because I never saw an issue when presented with info that voided my position and saying to the guy: "Thanks, I just learned something"
Usually when I respond if I'm positive of something I wil say it plain but if I just beleive it to be so I will say "I think"..
I mean it, this place is so much better when the jabs, fighting and ego's are left home. Life is short, enjoy it and leave the fighting to the trolls.
They are worthless anyway.

QFT!

The extreme segment will be covered by Bloomfield operating at 3.2GHz. To make it stand out a bit from the other two models, Intel has pumped up the QPI frequency to 6.4GHz. The memory controller is a bit different from the slower models. The performance and mainstream models supports only up to DDR3 1066MHz, while the extreme model sports up to DDR3-1333. All three models slide into the LGA1366 socket. Prices are expected to be in the $300-and-up-range.

does this mean we won't be able to use faster memory with the 2.66GHz chip? Those are pretty much DDR2 speeds

You will likely be able to overclock your memory manually.

Alternatively, you may find it better to run your memory at lower frequency with tighter timings on Nehalem in triple channel mode due to the obscene bandwidth available without a FSB bottleneck..

There, looks like someone knows about the Havendale MCM now.

Sorry!

[Blauhung]

Sorry!

hehe, don't be
