    Faster RAM in a slower board can increase latency.. not significantly but it does do it.

    *goes looking for users manual..
    Sorry, old talk... CMOS is the BIOS(Built in Operating System)... It was(probably still is) a cmos chip...

    I'm getting old and trying to stay away from computers(well said in '92 I would never touch another Computer, as you can see, i'm good to my word, NOT)...

    Under the bios you may find a ram test, not all BIOS's have that but some do, depends on the board manufacturer as they will purchase a BIOS programme and alter it to match what they want you to receive...

    If you the manual you can find if it has a ram test in the bios... POST(Power On Self Test) does a basic test to reconfigure changes and look for faults on start up, but a load test on the ram is not done...


    You'll find its a basic load test, but can give you information about the rams actually timings, ie access, latency etc...Gives you an idea of what board is able to do with the ram without the OS control and the bottlenecking dont involve OS processing queues...

    The rest is up to you, have fun, its nice to play with new toys and with that said, i'm off to my model empire....

    Something else I tripped over today,,



    and while the CoolerMaster design may or may not be to your liking,,
    I like its colour very much,,
    and no, its not white

    its actually brushed aluminium,,
    the inside is mirror like,,

    due to the close proximty of the ocean,, my cases are slowly rusting away (dont even start me on the Disco--)
    This should solve that issue forever...

    All installed and running, well, running anyway,, the HDD cage requires rails, a bit hard to find this far down the track,,
    and after looking at the case, the Vid card will receive all the heat from those 3 hdds, ( part of the plastic shroud on the card actually pokes into the hdd cage holes!! Tight fit!) so--
    I'm looking at running the hdds up in the cd rom bays, lots more space, the power cables come from up there, and I have lots of sata leads long enough,
    and 3 adaptor brackets are cheaper than 3 hdd rail kits



    as an added bonus,, the case had one of the original Matrox video cards, QID E128, and the special lead required to run FOUR monitors,,
    you just know I'm gunna try this out,,
