OcUK to stop selling Shuttles

PanchoVilla · 18 Mar 2004 at 10:44

Just called Ocuk to confirm details on SN45G and was told that they were out of stock on that model and will no longer be stocking Shuttles due to poor support from Shuttle.

They instead will be introducing 6 or 7 Aopen SFF cases instead.

Any thoughts on this?

What to go for now?

That's superb news on the SOLTEK - I'm currently looking into those..

Any more soltek overclocking exploits ?

Especially looking for the 3702 models.

bobinski - can you post your spec please and possibly a reason as to why you chose the 3401? thanks. Any cooling probs?

So hang on then:

Would I be OK if I had an SN45G with XP2500mobile and clocked only the CPU to XP3200 without messing with the vdimm MEM?

Do you have to mess about with the memory to get a good overclocked system?

In light of stability, noise and overclocking, would a soltek 3702 be better than a SN45G now?

Any review links you could post?

Don't know how good the Aopen might overclock.

Thanks.

What does 2.39 ghz mean in terms of MHZ?

This voltage and FSB thing is confusing me a bit now.

englishpremier - I see now, thanks.

So, from the above posts would appear that we have two systems : one with OCZ PC3200 that runs slower than the one with PC2700 Crucial.

I guess it's better to buy crucial for these systems then?
