As posted before, I'm very pleased with my 730 Dothan/CT479/P4C800DLX (non -e) setup but something has been puzzling me:
The system is happy at 2.75GHz, 250x11 with the RAM at 1:1. The issue is that I get higher benchmark scores when I boot at this speed than I do when I boot at 201x12 and EIST/Clockgen to 250x11. The difference is about 400 points in Sandra's CPU benchmark (10800 compared to 10400). The difference is also present in SuperPi.
What is causing the discrepancy, is it safe to boot at this speed or should I boot at 201 and EIST/clockgen? Any ideas?
Thanks.
