DDR memory Card

PC2700 - DDR333 - 333Mhz Bus
PC2700 (also know as DDR333) memory is now mainstream and a official JEDEC standard. Crucial is now selling PC2700 DDR memory modules in 256MB and 128MB sizes. This DDR memory is able to run at speeds up to 333Mhz. Only a handful of the latest motherboards support this fast memory. The good thing is that DDR RAM is backwards compatible, so if you are thinking about upgrading in the future, you should buy PC2700 now, because you can run it at lower clock speeds such as 266Mhz like PC2100 RAM or 200Mhz like PC1600 RAM on your older DDR motherboard, then if you ever upgrade to a PC2700 motherboard you can still use your RAM.

Processor

AMD Athlon™ 64/FX Cpufreq Driver for Linux 2.10.00 - Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU frequency, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need. Supports all AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology, AMD Opteron™ Processors, and Athlon™ 64 Processors released through 2007. Provides support for AMD PowerNow!™ technology and, where appropriate, AMD’s Cool-n-Quiet™ technology for Linux systems. Works with all kernels, version 2.6.10 or later. Requires the ondemand kernel module or the cpufreq-1.20, cpuspeed-1.20.1, or powersaved-0.8.19 or later user programs to support SMP and multi-core systems. This driver is already included in the 2.6.18 or later kernels and does not need to be downloaded again.
