Honestly, I've never seen mobo ram slots of the same channel be different colors.
Wait a month,it might drop in price a reasonable amount!!![]()
Talking of which, anyone see 2500k / 2600k prices increase ?
I'm sure we won't see 2500ks @ £150
Looked like it scored ~ 45 FPS average on the RE5 bench. That surely cannot be right? Was on a 6970 (Or was it a 6790?) and being ran at 1280x720 in a window.
I ran the same test with same settings on a GTX285 just out of sheer curiosity and got 135FPS average.
Something must be terribly terribly wrong hardware wise or just sheer incompatibilities. If it's the latter waiting weeks for software updates to support the architecture will be a massive thorn in AMD's and the buyer's sides.

They're always different colours, you need one stick of ram in each channel to run 'dual channel'. Thus the slots are coloured so that the same coloured slots filled will give you dual channel.

Same colour denotes the channel generally, it doesn't make sense to have two different coloured lanes equating to one dual channel.
The pic I put up is what was being used, two modules in two different coloured slots = Single, but in CPUZ it was dual. Perhaps it got changed, but that's where single channel came from.
Saw this onthe OCN forum.

Well, his results seem far better than what I've/we've just seen but still fall well short of expectations
I'm going to try to calculate if his results correlate with the passmark score....
All the major websites are hopefully going to have their reviews up in the next few days. It will save you some effort!!
I have not see Gibbo do one of this pre-release threads yet either.
