You did. AM2+ only used DDR2 memory. I don't thank someone for giving information not relevant to the post and I don't give thanks for posts be wrong..See that? That's what you said, and it's a lie.

To be fair the The GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a chipset was originally a AM2/AM2+ chipset.


So it couldn't be misprint, or a misquote, or a misunderstanding or mistake. I'm so sinister and evil it has to be a lie. OK.


Apparently you do, because your making a fuss out of it. If I'm going to be upgrading my computer, replacing the motherboard is always a consideration if you want some newer technology like USB 3.0 or SATA3 built-in. Even if I stuck with AMD, there is no way I would have kept with my AM2+ board from my Phenom 2 940 days....

Well that's you. AMD gave you that choice. A choice is better than no choice.


Maybe that's because he is talking about gaming. His "blanket statement" is clearly for what he will be using the PC for.....

No because we moved off the topic of gaming and his rig a long time ago. We are talking generally speaking.

check that WD GREEN hard drive....

Hi everyone, I have the configuration as stated on my specs. I am getting pretty decent FPS in BF 4 with my 6770 overclocked as in specs(35 FPS average on 1600*900 some high, some ultra but antialiasing off). But after playing for say 5-10 mins, the game stutters and lags like hell and I can see the HDD is constantly being accessed. I monitored and found that the RAM usage is really high. I don't have much background process and in idle, around 28% RAM is used which is good for 4GB
Now new RAM is damn costly these days. It is almost impossible for me to buy a new 8 GB kit now but I will do it if it is absolutely required. Do you have the same problem too with 4 GB RAM? Help appreciated.

that HDD western digital Green its a piece of sh... its imposible play games whit it, you may need a new HDD, i recommend you a Western Digital BLUE series, or a BLACK series if you can afford it.... wester digital green is just for data storage , you must not use it for run OS...
