What the hell is up with that computer? You got the fastest core 2 duo paired with the slowest DDR3 ram?

That 5400 HDD was a bad place to try and cut the budget.

I guess they should have cut the processor, or RAM, or the graphics instead?

They could have gone with a smaller 7200RPM drive.

Bro... Core 2 Duo is ddr2 💀💀💀

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Dude.... Core 2 duo is ddr1, ddr2 and ddr3 🦄🦄🦄

Edit: just checked out the core 2 duo e8400. Not only does it support ddr3 and 2, but also ddr1. So added ddr1

Dang! Didnt know that! I have an old pc with a core 2 quad and since it is ddr2 i assumed all core 2 processors were ddr2. Thank you for correcting me!

1066 MHz = 2132 MT/s, which is fairly average by DDR3 standards

I think they mean 1066MT/s, 2133MT/s is in overclocking territory and iirc the fastest jedec standard is ddr3-1600
