So I finally get my rig all up and running nicely, rig is in the sig, NF7-S 2.0 @ 11 x 220 with 5-2-2-2 ram timings... The 9700 Non Pro is clocked @ 385/303, and I get this:

I dont know if maybe I hit the crack pipe too hard this morning, but I was expecting to finish the run @ about 18.5k with my FSB and ram timings... Did Abit really slack the ram timings on this motherboard to make sure that everyone and their mother made it to 200FSB without any problems? or is there something else that im missing here...

heres my 2003 score just incase it matters:

Those memory timings look anything but slack ! :D (thats what I run)

Your score is quite representitive for the card you have so nothing to worry about IMO.

Also from your sig it says that it's your 3rd stick of Ram so I assuming you're running single channel mode ? If so then maybe explains why you didnt hit 18K.

When I said slack timings, I wasnt referring to my timings... I was referring to Abit loosening some settings in the bios that would make it easier for the majority of people to hit 200FSB... Ive heard of a lot of people saying that there Revision 2 NF2 boards dont perform as well mhz for mhz as their old boards did...
