I knew how to use printscreen. I'm not THAT noob.:D

Im sure a lot of us use the print screen method and no, the resolution does not matter as long as you dont make everybody load a 10mb picture.

Very nice . thanks.
Making fonts readable was what I was worried about as far as my concern with res went.

Ya and she helps me do research I had no Idea that she could learn this stuff. She is good very good.

15x266 or something like that

No . She hasn't She keeps her front cover locked so I haven't used very much at all. I did try to get into the bios but she learned well and has it locked.

Mmmm..maybe they HAVE binned them and THAT'S why these X6800 don't go thru the roof. Did you ever think they might be binning the high overclockers for the X6900s? Possibly the 3.33Ghz versions. ;)

oh how depressing, ONLY a ONE GHZ overclock.

:rolleyes:

That's not a bad assumption at all. They probably limit it just enough to be the top in the market. Then milk it for a while then unlock some more for upgrade. It makes sense to save some $$ in developing bleeding edge every 3 months or so. There is probably a Intel Omega and AMD Optimus @ 5ghz already. With the ram price fixing recently I wouldnt be suprise if they are doing the same in cpu industry.

dont underestimate greed..;)

and maybe they only are from a different factory than ES.
If intel want good availability, there is more than one factory that are making them..

So, it just lucky to have one good overclocker reatil Conroe? That's really bad.

question: There is a way to see the stepping out-side the box like de old amd boxes?
q2: Anybody knows if is true that the B2 are with microcode Mhz roof? Couse' if its true, the Conroe v/s 939/am2 overclock will be pointless, and the only solution to this madness would be wait to the AMD's 65nm response.

Heh, it's grim. I've had that and more out of an AMD x2, thought we were moving on here. :P

I'd be happy to OC my 6800 to 3.2 or 3.6 range, i'd never want more than 3.6Ghz, as i don't want the damn thing to get too hot, nor do i want to add super cooling solutions, i figure a Tower120 is enough and if i can hit 3.6Ghz with the 6800 so be it, if not, i will for sure hit 3.2Ghz which is good enough for me.

You should try Screenshooter. It's a simple app which creates an image file (at the destination folder you've chosen) when you press Print Scrn. You get to chose what format it should be and what quality the image will have.

I always use PNG @ 0% quality which mostly results in 30kB (at 1920x1200 res) images with lossless image quality.

so let me get this straight if X6800 can only do 3.8GHz in tower 120...

then:
E6700: 3.5Ghz
E6600: 3.2Ghz
and so on ..

is this scenario likely to happen?? no way to hit 400fsb on stock multi anyway, so 965 chipset is good enough ?

As of right now, I would say if you can find E66 or 67/stepping 5-B1's grab them quick. ;)

I'd be worried about errata. Given a choice between a five or six stepping, I'd choose six in a flash.
