64GB Dual-Rank ECC Ram on socket 1155 question

I'm currently specking out a new data mining machine for the lab and my goal is to get as much RAM in there for as little money as possible.

Re: The new iPad (3rd-gen) has arrived

I got mine yesterday and after spending a couple of hours with it, a little feedback concerning the screen: - the screen is crazy sharp, incredible, the NYT page in portray looks like a magazine - because the screen is so much sharper, my 24" 1920x1200 now looks a LOT worse than it did two days...

Re: Help with small HTPC case

Thanks for the suggestions! The SG02 looks like the rational choice, I could easily get all my old hardware in there and as I would not be using the PSU space, even the cooler should be fine.

Help with small HTPC case

Dear TRs, My son is growing (which is good) but that also means that he can reach higher up (which is good as well, but also bad for whatever fragile object he gets his hands on).

Re: Your RAM: how much and what for

Just burned 1 SODimm in my Win XP laptop and now I only have 1GB - and the funny thing is I don't notice any difference. "Biggest" program I use is Eclipse and even with several apps open, no slowdown...

Re: AMD to split into two companies
