Re: Nostalgia Lane - Old Time TR Posters

Ten-years for me, too. And before that, was a lurker for a while. Don't post much these days. Life. Work. Drama. Still here though. TR is one of the sites I check daily. Always been a fan of this site and its community. My older brother, who is a novice when it comes to anything related to technolog...

Re: Asus P6T SE - Max 24GB of RAM?

Wait! I found some cheap 24GB down here - strangely enough, 1066MHz was exspensive ($210), but 1600MHz was $60 less?

I was just thinking the exact same thing! I just gotta find a cheap set of 24GB RAM - very hard to come by. Even a 12GB set is a bitch to find.

Re: Asus P6T SE - Max 24GB of RAM?

Thanks for the reply!

Turns out 32GB packs are cheaper than 24GB down here in Oz. If I put 32GB in there, will it only recognise 24GB in Windows?

Asus P6T SE - Max 24GB of RAM?

Hey guys,

Got this mobo: http://www.asus.com.au/Motherboards/Int ... ifications

According to the link above, it says its max RAM is 24GB - it has six DIMM slots - could I put in 32GB of RAM if I got myself 4 x 8GB sticks?

Re: Will this RAM work with my CPU and mobo?

For what you are doing, a move to X79 might be a solid move. I think the entry-level SB-E is running ~$300. Do you run an SSD also? Those tend to be very helpful for your usage as well. Perhaps 1 for apps/OS and even another for a scratch disk. I'm definitely thinking about it! :) I would really lo...

Yeah, I knew that part (64bit being able to address a lot more RAM than 32bit), but I didn't know that different versions of Win 64bit had different RAM limits. I thought they were all 192GB.

I was unaware of that. I'm running Windows 7 Professional (which can handle 192GB. right?).

Thanks for the replies everyone :) They will work, but do you need 32 GiB of RAM? CAS Latency of 10 is pretty high. I try to stick to 7, myself.

Cool.

I've read that it's performance will be like that of the GTX 480? The GTX 480 sells for $389 down here, and the GTX 580 for $575. I hope they price is below the GTX 480...cause if performance will be on par with the GTX 480, but is gonna cost $100 more...I might as well buy the GTX 480...right?
