I tried PCMark05 today for the first time. Grabbed two easy cups, but I have to learn to tweak PCMark (and get a better storage setup, of course).

Congrats for taking the top spot of the 965 BE category, you scored almost 10k more than I did! :D

Well, no need to congratulate, it was not exactly a patiently-pushed-to-the-max score, more like plug and point benching. Still, points are always nice :)

Heh, only 10k behind us :D
You need SSDs *hint hint*

Two OCZ Vertexes on Adaptec SAS RAID controller will do? Or do I have to wait for Intel to send us some X25-Ms? :D

Almost 10 points isn't that bad, every bit counts! :up: Plus you get a nice golden cup for your result! :D

Did someone see Naekuh's posts in the Xtreme Overclocking section? He says he has a Gulftown and he is registered at hwbot for our team... Someone should point him to this thread! When i9 is launched we should at least have some results ready ( yes, I'm looking at you jcool! ;) )

Actually the onboard intel controller will be perfectly fine for 2 drives (probably better than any of the mentioned third-party controllers).

PM me for Tips on how to set up 2 SSDs on the ICH10R and how to boost the PCmark score ;)

@Dan: Ok ok... I'll post up a few benchies just for the heck of it ;)
Missing the 10x dram divider on my current bios though, unfortunately, which makes wprime kind of a no go.

I'm all for keeping 7200... :cool:
Got a 5750 to bench tomorrow, just installed W7 and getting the CPU on air ready to go... should be a few medals and maybe 10 boints total to stick up... :up:

Heh hopefully my showing a few guys there positions getting bumped will be enough poke for them to grab a few more points :p:

I`ve still got a lot of hardware to play with yet;). Wasted a lot of time trying to vmod two pairs of 8600GT`s. DDR2 pair went well(Gpu @ 940Mhz on air) but the mem on those is very poor. DDR3 pair is refusing to cooperate. Getting the volts i need but its not clocking any higher than stock settings:mad: very frustrating. Think i might leave them for now and concentrate on something new.

FYI HWBot allows LOD tweaking!!

Yep they do.

They also allow me to recieve an uber picked chip from AMD that no retail can ever ever match and use it against all members......just becasue they allow stuff doesn't mean you have to agree with it ;)

It's ultimately up to the user to decide what to do, me personally the words uber picked that no one can compete against and competition don't belong in same sentence....there is no competition at that point.

Hehe :D
I always thought WPrime wasn't RAM-dependent, only raw core frequency counts, at least that's what it is like on Core 2 and Phenom 2.

Grats for taking no.4 in the team! :up:

The 785 chipset might be worth looking into, some easy points to get looking at the current rankings.

Which tests do you run?
Most 2D tests should see a gain over Vista/7.

Right you are, with a cheap chip and the 785G chipset that entire platform should be worth about 20 points or more per team member, you have 6 2d benches you can compete in and 5 3d benches ;)

Exactly my calculation, Sempron 140 with 785 DDR2 version.... :cool:
If the Sempron isn't enough, you can still plug in the 965....

seeing all top spots were running xp i think...i thought it would give me some love but nope seems less to me with xp other than 01 where i am getting 87k with 920 @ 4.65 and 2 5870s:shrug:

Okay, 3D you should see gains in 01 and AM3, did you test the latter already?
