Yeah it was like $250 for the 2.66, now its £250. Way to get **** on in the UK..

Never expect the prices to be exactly like the conversion says, we're always being ripped off.
Hi there
Cost into UK distribution on those is $284-$290 plus any shipping cost, then UK distribution adds margin, then reseller adds margin and then you have UK taxes (VAT) which you can't avoid and it all adds up.
We never get US prices for the simple VAT we instantly pay 17.5% extra on everything.
Also remember the exchange rate is now only 1.76, no longer the 1.98 it was.
I remember £1 to $2.11, would be nice if it was still like that
HI there
If the exchange rate was at 2.11 our price on the 920 would be about £40-£50 less than it is now, thats how badly the dollar rate effects things. On the extreme version it would be circa £150 cheaper, all because of exchange rate varience.

YES, I read but time will tell and if that info is official I will go by that rather than your info.
Since when did RAM Voltages affect CPU Voltages previously ?.

The prices for now are quite high, but you ALWAYS get this, Core2 was the same when it launched.
I would be interested in seeing how much £750 or so of ram/cpu/mobo compares between i7 and core2. That's the real test.

CPU price looks good, RAM is now and an acceptable price...over £250 for a board? Ill pass...when theres £100 knocked off that I might start to think otherwise =/

Its not official information, Its a stickers and some random rubbish on Fud, The sample i have been playing with has total separate CPU and memory voltages.

I guessed they would be seperate, but have you measured the CPU voltage after you increased the RAM Voltage beyond that so called limit ? (major crap if the rumours were true IMO).
Don
It because the memory controller is on the CPU, the RAM will run at whatever voltage you set the VDDR to, but will interface with the CPU at that voltage.

So has AMD has the Memory Controller on the CPU for years and it ain't an issue.
That's why I made a little Dig above to Intel normally copying AMD's idea's.
If what I'm reading into it so far is accurate then I am not happy, but TBH I ain't reading too much as I don't want a 1366 till at least June 09.
Its not random rubbish. It was first revealed on XS a couple of weeks ago. Now all the major news sites ahve jumped on the story due to asus boards shipping with this
No one is saying that the cpu and memory voltages can't be different. If there is a problem it must be due to adding an on die memory controller. Exactly why its a problem remains to be seen. There are some good theories on XS though.

They did originally though apparently.So has AMD has the Memory Controller on the CPU for years and it ain't an issue.

I read that image to mean that when you first install the ram the voltage should be set lower than 1.65v.
