The AE34G1609U2-U Entertainment Edition memory we used for this review is rated at 1600Mhz (PC12800) and assists in the build of a solid all around system.
The AMD Entertainment Edition memory meets industry standards and specifications, and is rigorously tested to ensure quality and reliability, being a perfect choice for cost-conscious “white-box” users and system builders. The AMD memory module is also stated to be compatible with Intel platforms.
The AMD memory is vanilla in appearance, low profile and does not come supplied with any heat spreaders fitted; however, this is not a shock, given that the modules are rated at 1.5v and so produce very little heat. 16x256Mb memory chips per module are installed and the PCB is black in colour. CAS timings are rated at 9-9-9-28, delivering up to 12.8Gb/sec bandwidth.
We reviewed their Performance Edition gaming memory in April and were impressed with the low price point and compatibility across both Intel and AMD motherboards.
£50 for the cpu and £50 for the gigabyte mobo is pretty good isnt it ? id always been put off bying a system like this for my tv as the motherboards were often well over £100 even if the processors were cheap.
im tempted now. shall try and talk my credit card into accepting the charge.
Nice setup on Dabs for these, makes it easier to work out where to get the bits,
only thing is, they should have made some complete systems with memory, power supply etc, took a few quid from them. would have worked a lot better. seems a bit ‘half assed’ having a page with the A4’s and motherboards and nothing else. these are ideal for students who maybe need the help
Hybrid crossfire has always sucked, glad to see it hasnt gotten better all of a sudden.
not a bad deal for the price, but its probably slow as molasses for a work machine. Adding a cheap SSD might help.
Im curious, can it be overclocked?
its pretty good value for money. Not sure id want one, but would be good for a server system
I have that proc. and Gigabyte MB and i am very satisfied with that. Plus i got Ati Saphyre graphic card with 1 GB. As it was said, it is really good for lite gaming, and very cheap. And @Brian, yes it can be overclocked! 🙂
Is there such a thing as an intel atom quad core? The 6450 is pretty puny so really adds not very much except heat and cost. A 6670 or better would kick things up a notch/
