hi to all out thr
well guyz i m not new 2 computers but desperately need 2 kno a few thjngs. i am currently havin a p4 1.6 ghz pc wid an ati radeon 7000 64 mb agp and 256 mb ram. i used it 4 a couple of yrs now n finally started lookin out 4 somthin new. now the problem is tht tech has changed a lot n i m totally blank on some of these things.
1) wht the hell is the diffrence between sata,sata2 and e-sata and which of these is the best? also does intel chipset 945g and 965 support them plz mention the model also?
2) wht is SLI technology in vga's and shud it be compatible wid the motherboard to actually function properly?
3) i hav com across ddr,ddr1,ddr2,gddr3 and ddr4? whts the diffrence between them and if i go 4 ddr2, and buy a pci express 512 vga (many of them have gddr3) will my board support it? plz help and also recommend som 512mb card thts gud 4 gaming?
4) whts wid cedar mills,prescott,smithfield,presler etc on the processors? is it somthin 2 do wid the place of manufacture or somthin? also let me kno which processor is best among these?

i hope u guyz will com 2 my rescue as soon as possible bfore somthin new coms out thnx tc

Well, The first thing I noticed was all the TEEN SPEAK! Like guyz,thr
,,com 2 bfore somthin coms wid

1)e-sata is a technology used in external storage devices.Sata2 is just faster than Sata.Intel 945g and Intel G965 support SATA.
2)SLI is a technology that allows you to use multiple graphics cards on a single pc in order to get better performance.And yes you must have a motherboard that supports it.
3)all those ddr1-2-3-4 are memory modules,one is faster than another.Check out more here.

ps.I agree too with MyCattMaxx. :)

Eh sata isn't really any faster then sata 2, theoretically it allows twice the bandwidth for hard drives to use, however hard drives have trouble maxing out even like the ultra ata bandwidth, so you will not notice a difference between a sata 2 and a sata 1 hdd.

As for the sli, just to point out thats only available on select nvidia cards (most of the newer ones), and for ati its called crossfire which is completely different.

As for the ddr etc, ddr is probably the most commonly used ram currently but it is being phased out by ddr2, mainly by intel but mad has now moved over too it. It is suppossed to allow faster memory, but just make sure your board supports it. As for gddr3 thats graphics memory and if your board supports pci-e 16x then it will support gddr3, as for ddr4 there is no such thing available yet.

He was asking a question not a grammer check. That doesn't help him at all. Anyways check out all these 101's. They are very helpful though a little outdated.

bball4life you're right.I just thought that it would be better to give a general idea,and let zexter do some search himself. :)

Wasn't meaning to say your wrong, just going into a little more specifics, and yes those 101's should help a lot and Wikipedia is always another great resource.

completely different? depends on the point of view i think.
Putting in 2 grafic's cards into the pc, to increase grafical performance.. if you look at it like that, SLI and crossfire are the same :)
(true, the way they work is different.. but then,.. someone who buy's it is (at least im not really ) interested in how it works,.. but just how the results of the system are :o ( I know... off topic, but i thought it was worth mentioning =) )

Yes completely different, they aren't even just two graphics cards in a computer, for sli you have two matching cards, while in crossfire you need a crossfire edition master card and then a regular ati card. And then how they work isn't even similar at all, for crossfire it splits up the frames between two cards, with like the crossfire edition master cards taking the odd frames and the regular cards taking the even, crossfire can also split the screen up into little squares and split them between the two cards, while sli splits the screen into two sections.

If you really want to read up heres some wikipedia articles Crossfire and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_InterfaceSLI[/URL], yes I guess you could say they are similar but why would you when the only simililarity they have is physical and has nothing to do with how they work.

well... some people still think a 3GHz P4 is faster than a 2GHz Core2 duo...
( some people just think more physically than others.. and if you put SLI and CF simple.. they basicly are the same, or at least it has the same idea :) )
as for crossfire, its better to have 2 the same cards in CF... else you put the faster card to waste (imo),. it just does work with different cards

You can't run crossfire with two identical cards its impossible!!!! As for people thinking a 3GHz p4 is faster with a 2GHz core 2, they're blind to the truth, so why would you make it seem like they are right, we are here to teach people, not make things out to be similar when they really aren't.

with 2 identical cards i mean the same core.. :( if you put a x800xt and a x1900xtx in crossfire... the x1900xtx willrun as it is a x800xt...literairy putting it to waste.. ;) better take 2 x1900's for it then

Believe me I know that, but when you say running two Identical cards that has completely different meaning then using two of the same cores. And even 2x1900's limit you because the CE card didn't run at full speed of the regular card, that is why people are excited about the x1950 ce because it will. Well I am off to class, I have made a strong point for my side, so I will leave it at that, if you want to believe otherwise go ahead, its not gonna be my fault if he tries and runs 2x 1900xt's on an sli board. :rolleyes:
