    Um, why don't they just release a USB3 adaptor for £20, and a usb HD controller...I'd but a few of those instantly for me servers

    Now you *need* to buy a few SSD's to make sure you fill up the available bandwith (poor person crying face). On the other hand, i would fo thought the P55 boards people wanted included a non-melting Foxconn socket regardless of price.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Hmm, 6 RAM slots on a P55, how does that work?

    The white slots are your standard run of the mill dual channel slots, that can take DIMMs or SIMMs

    If you use 2 white 2 blue, you have 2 pairs of dual channel and can use DIMMs or SIMMs

    if you use 2 white 4 blue you can only use SIMMs

    i.e. you can have 4 DIMMs or 6 SIMMs

    As to why, who knows? They are redfundant for practically everybody, as most RAM is double sided

    Re: News - GIGABYTE upgrades its P55 boards with USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gbit/s

    I'm confused

    I thought SIMMs only came in 30 and 72-Pin modules? I haven't seen those since my Pentium MMX.

    You mean't single sided DDR3 DIMMs as opposed to double sided DIMMs right?

    Are SIMMs and single sided DIMMs the same thing?

    You're right, i just call single sided DIMMs, SIMMs, seeing as though the term is practically redundant now

    The blue bridge-sinks look ugly. Blue PCB, blue bridge-sinks, too much blue!
