I don't know where the press release is but they also announced WD6400AACS some time back and it is significant as you don't have to play games figuring out the platter size like you do on the 1 TB models. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=565 http://www.wdc.com/en/library/sata/28...

I'm not sure a Thermalright Ultra 120 or a Ninja

Seagate 7200.11 320GB single platter (ST3320613AS)

Anyone have any experience with this 320gb single platter from Seagate? It seems this 320gb model was launched after the other 7200.11 models (500gb, 750gb, 1tb) which are all based on 250gb plates. http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_barracuda_7200_11.pdf Performance sounds interestin...

DDR2 power consumption: 2*1GB vs 4*1GB vs 2*2GB ?

Hello, Have anyone tested the impact of different memory configurations in the overall power consumption? I'm particulary wondering what could be the difference between using: 2*1GB (2 sticks) 4*1GB (4 sticks) 2*2GB (2 sticks) Also, do latencies or bus speed have any impact in the power consumption?
