I was having massive problems like this, but after reading around and trying a few different things in this thread I can now stream 720p/1080p with no slowdown during 30+Mbps spikes during the stream (Up (720p) and Dark Knight (1080p) during the Imax sequences as an example) over Wireless G.

Previously MP3’s would stutter.

The only setting I changed was Microsoft MPEG-4 to Windows Media Video 8 in the Transcoder settings.

Tested with Up, Dark Knight, 3hr version of Watchmen and a couple of FLAC encoded albums. All of which previously refused to function correctly or smoothly.

Up and Dark Knight were both orginally encoded in mkv, and re-encoded using mkv2vob (Automatic settings, x264 transcoding codec, PCM instead of AC3) to mpg.

Now Sony just needs to implement mkv support for the PS3…

Hope this helps someone.

I do not believe the TOTAL TIME resets once a lamp is replaced, so it seems appropriate to notate the TOTAL TIME displayed whenever you replace a lamp. You will likely have to subtract that baseline number of hours from the set’s total time.

Memory Read: 8253 MB/s
Memory Write: 6612 MB/s
Memory Copy: 9676 MB/s
Memory Latency: 54.6

And this is just one of the cheapest DDR3 modules. Others come in CAS 8, 7, and 5.

In everest, there are maybe 1 or 2 DDR2 800, setups that get go over those numbers…and they have a cas of 4, which is less than half the cas of the ddr3.

So in essence, the lowest end DDR3 will be faster than most DDR2, and probably cost half the price or less along with using 30% power hence 30% less heat, hence higher overclocks. You can even bump ddr3 up a whole .4 volts before it will fry.

here’s one results, on a phenom II x3 720 with ddr3 1333 at cas 9, the write speed is 6611MB/s. The second machine is using a phenom II x4 940, with ddr2-800 ram cas 5, the write speed is 5915MB/s. so even with double the cas and unmatched mhz for mhz, the ddr3 still outperforms the ddr2. now imagine that ddr3 1333 module with a cas of 5 or 7, which is readily available.

DDR3 outperforms DDR2 in all areas, the only thing we need is the prices for the lower latency models to come down. but even budget models will outperform ddr2.

DDR2 has lower latency than DDR3, but DDR3 has much more bandwidth — so it depends on what you are doing, DDR2 will be faster in some cases (like mathematical operations) and DDR3 will be faster in others (like gaming where GB worth of textures are paged in and out of ram).

Doesn’t really matter anymore though, all recent CPU releases are based on DDR3-platforms.

IF that all sounded confusing and you’d rather go powerline, keep in mind that if the distance you are running the network is sufficient and crosses circuit breaker boundries, your performance on powerline will suck.

I’d strongly recommend getting the fastest powerline pack you can, because the *actual* performance is usually like 1/4th what the advertised speed is for any normal/typical setup.

It’s *really* hard to get good trend data out of Google trends because you have to consider every term and how to group them into some value on the chart.

what you’re saying goes against common knowledge. DDR3 is faster than DDR2, always. for example, DDR3 1333 is really only DDR3 667 with a different name, and will always give higher performance than DDR2 800.

Another incorrect statement is that your 4gb of DDR2 is faster than 2GB of DDR3. this again, goes against common knowledge. 4 sticks of any type of RAM will deliver slightly worse performance than 2 sticks of the same kind.
