Yep. I just cant help feeling negative about the patch. They have systematically taken a lot of fun out of this game with each patch released. Mainly due to performance and stability issues more than anything. Ahh well, only time will tell ;)
 
I played the 1.4 beta 1 and 2 for a few weeks and it was great, no crashes at all, no server cashes and the infantry only option for servers was great fun.
 
Not that i want to derail this thread further, but that sounds good to me Jabbs!! Glad someone has had a positive experience with it. Losing the server crashes will be nice :)
 
I know a chap that works for intel in Oregon, sent me a pic of his workbench shich must be 20 conroe chips there that he tests etc, lucky git.
 
I ran that prime last night and woke up too a beeping sound, it had stopped the test and core 2 was red in the option, now i guess that means its not stable does this mean i have to add more volts too the cpu ? i only had it clocked at 2.3 gig.
 
I could do with some advice on ram, atm i have G.Skill LA pc 5300 in 2x1 gig sticks, now me bro has this GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 which i can use if i wish.

What will give me the best performance in gaming, i imagine i will get poor performace only using 1 gig but will the 800mhz be better than 667 as i on now.

If you just change from 5300 to 6400 ram, it won't make any real difference unless you change the actual speed it's running at. Say you are running at stock 266fsb with a 1:1 divider, then the ram will be running at 533Mhz (whether it's 5300 or 6400)

Maintaining low latencies (4, 4, 4, 12) is important, and the PC6400 should let you clock up to 400fsb without having to slacken these timings, whereas the PC5300 might only reach 330fsb.

This chart shows what you can expect from the different ram ratings:

I dropped the ram too 5300 and clocked up from there, currently hit 700mhz on the 667 and 2.45 clock, i can't lower the latencys on this mobo so the other option may be the ram i posted above.

My concern is gaming wise though as i would drop too 1 gig instead of 2 for the time being.
