Well, I don't DO Prime95, just don't care I guess... but it does 2711 sPi 1M stable and 2741 piFast stable. And I still get the same 160+ errors as before, even using agp/pci up to 76/38.... you know, the SLOW MOTION effect in Windows :(Quote:

Slow motion effect? Can you tell me about that please.
well, if you double click a desktop icon, it takes 7-8 seconds to appear. Sometimes you won't see sPi tabulating results and then 3 or 4 lines will appear. When you run the cursor over the start button, the START disappears, when you push the button, the start box opens in 5-10 seconds.....Quote:

Probably related to Display Driver

Did you try some el-cheapo ancient PCI videocard?
no, but I tried the onboard VIDEO and it does the same :(Quote:

Also the link w/ 3 AXP2500s FSB test was hardocp OC-article so pretty much anything is possible ;)
charlie, 160+ should work better if you use the integrated video (without driver)?
edit: nevermind didnt' see your last post :D
charlie
The thing is, the onboard video is AGP as well. I would try PCI :) BTW, when you try PCI you might also try killing the AGP driver in the device manager.
I can see why it may have problems with AGP drivers, since this was intended as a laptop chipset.

>>OC-article so pretty much anything is possible
Yes we all know [s] and their vast knowledge of hardware.
but that doesn't change that the only thing different on that setup were the processors so the difference in FSB can (should) only have been due to the processors themselves.Quote:

where does a guy like me have to get his info then :confused:
Each processor required a different voltage to reach the overclock they were doing, so that may have affected the power being delivered to the rest of the system.. that indicates a PSU or motherboard issue (motherboard more so since FSB suffered).
What they really should have done is tested each on two or three boards known to do both high cpu clocks and high FSB's, as well as tested the CPU's on say an older Epox 8K3A+ to be sure it wasnt just an nF2 issue..
But thats getting into a lot of work to do..

FORUMS. People get new hardware here and they write about it. Better than any review out there ;) Because -
1) They will listen to what you have to say and respond
2) They will do their best to resolve any problems because they usually pay for it with their own money, whereas reviewers will only :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: and cry that something doesn't work ;)
[Sorry for getting offtopic]
They don't appear to love PiFast, though... like ALL Intel's.
Anything interesting to conclude the year with?
i know that 3dmark03/05 are more GPU-friendly and not so CPU-friendly, but has anyone run Dothan on these benchies?
Nope....Quote:

so you're just saying every reviewer out there does no effort to do any experiments with overclocking or finding out what's wrong and trying to fix it?Quote:

Sounds good :cool:Quote:

when will this be? my DFI 855 is still in RMA, if they plan on bringing out a new revision soon, I might be able to arrange something with the shop where I bought it from (if they plan on replacing my board that is).
FUGGAR can you tell us anythig about your source of this information, links etc......?
Here is one - notice GT1 ;)Quote:

Amazing score...at gt1 i have 426 with 3.4 EE at 4.6Ghz!!!
macci, dang....that's uber......and tnx for answering and giving the link =)

Not referring to madshrimps ;) Obviously you guys are cool to even hang out here.
