Post [reghardware] Mesh Ultimate Q8 Tri-SLI gaming PC
Quote:
Everything about the Mesh Ultimate Q8 is imposing. The black CoolerMaster 832 aluminium case is 62cm long and 53 cm tall, and, according to our bathroom scales, weighs in at 22kg.


Quote:
Inside the case, there’s an EVGA 780i SLI motherboard with a Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor that runs on a 1333MHz frontside bus. It’s a 3GHz 45nm 'Penryn' processor that's cooled by a ginormous Intel heatsink that is very shiny.
Read this, Vista SP1 solves the issue that 32Bit would support 4GB of RAM

Quote:
Mesh has chosen to install four 1GB 667MHz DDR 2 DIMMs, and for the first time you can see the full 4GB in a 32-bit operating system. On those occasions where we’ve tried out 4GB of RAM in a 32-bit OS, the amount of memory that is available is reduced to 3.5GB or even to 3GB, but it seems that Vista SP1 fixes this issue.

667MHz DDR2 in syncronizes with a 1333MHz FSB. Considering that the only chance that processor could ever live up to its price tag is through overclocking, I'm wondering why 800MHz memory (1600FSB) or even higher wasn't used.

Vista SP1 now reports the amount of system memory installed rather then the amount of memory available to the OS...I can confirm this.

Yea, its not like MS, Apple, Sun and all of the Linux/BSD devs got together in some kind of secret conference and unanimously decided to limit 32bit operating systems to 3.5GB. Its a hardware limitation, not a software limitation: You can't store 4GB of memory addresses in 32bits.

I could guess that this is likely a marketing scheme, but then why would they undercut 64bit sales?

Who knows; I find the 'usable' spec more useful than the 'installed' spec, though I have a 64 bit OS anyway.

It is shady wording thats for sure. Basically use a 64 bit OS if your running 4gb of ram +, period.
