So it's virtually impossible saying that a board or a CPU run absolutely stable at a
particular clock speed, because it is very likely that the really touchy procedures haven't
been ran at all. This means for the reader that you of course can be lucky as long as you
are not using these procedures on your system, but it could as well be that you are using
particularly the very software that will cause a crash in a board that was testified as
stable.
Summary
Finally, the features of a board should be pointed out as well. I already mentioned
onboard SCSI, network adapter and sound, but there are other things too. System
monitoring can be an issue for people and it's certainly not wrong if a board is equipped
with it. It can tell you if your fan stopped working, if your power supply fails or if your
CPU gets too hot.
The new wake up features maybe worth a look at too, because it can save you from
leaving your system running permanently, thus saving energy. Wake up on ring, on LAN
and also on clock are features that I do appreciate. These features are used best in
combination with the 'suspend to disk' feature, as well known from notebooks. AOpen is
one of the few manufacturers who have this feature implememted into their boards for
more than a year now. It starts your system exactly the same way you left it. The same
programs are running, the same data is still there.
The above said leads to the following new evaluation scheme for motherboards in exactly
this order:
1. Compatibility and Reliability (AGP, PCI, ISA cards, BIOS, RAM)
2. Features (onboard features)
3.
Performance (office performance and gaming performance)
RAM
** Hardware Guide Home **
Due to cost considerations, all but the very high-end (and very expensive) computers
have utilized DRAM for main memory. Originally, these were asynchronous, single-bank
designs because the processors were relatively slow. Most recently, synchronous
interfaces have been produced with many advanced features. Though these high-
performance DRAMs have been available for only a few years, it is apparent that they
will soon be replaced by at least one of the protocol-based designs, such as SyncLink or
the DRDRAM design from Rambus, Inc. and Intel.
Basic DRAM operation
A DRAM memory array can be thought of as a table of cells. These cells are comprised
of capacitors, and contain one or more `bits' of data, depending upon the chip
configuration. This table is addressed via row and column decoders, which in turn receive
