Picked up 3 sets of 2x2GB Super Talent Speed series DDR3-2200 8-8-8-24 dual channel kits (WS220UX4G8) - these are Elpida 50nm Hyper ICs only ones capable of 8-8-8-24 timings at such DDR3-2200Mhz speeds.

While they're for P55 dual channel, I decided to mix these up for X58 triple channel too - not expecting 3x2GB modules to hit thos speeds at 1.65v but with a bit more volts should be okay for benching at least

Bought a new notebook which arrived today. Second ever notebook, first one was around 15yrs ago - Ascentia 810N 486SX/33 with 12MB memory 340MB hdd and 9.5" LCD screen.

Now Acer Aspire AS3810T -354G25n Timeline series notebook with following specs at bottom of page. More updates will be posted at http://i4memory.com/f15/acer-aspire-...otebook-22307/

Fully charged, i spent 45mins setting things up and battery life read 9hrs 15mins remaining!...

When DFI announced their hybrid 2 systems on 1 motherboard design, I was ecstatic because I've always wanted such a system. Smaller footprint for 2 systems just what my lack of horizontal room space needed! So I'm happy that this DFI Hybrid P45 Ion-T2A2 motherboard arrived. Thanks DFI!

Looks like before I start testing, for MCP7A Ion system part, I'll need to grab a set of DDR2 SO-Dimm memory modules and a power adaptor converter for Australian plugs for the power cord.
