The 500MHz+ CAS 3 Club

[Gautam]

Okay now here's my entry. I see a lot of stuff at low CPU speeds, but here's a time whose performance matches the clock. For those of you doing this on i965, I hear a lot about there being a CAS 3 bug and all- there is not. However I strongly recommend that you not use tRCD 3. It doesn't make clocks any easier but it hurts performance a lot. IMHO 3-4-4-x is the fastest on i965. 3-4-3-x looks okay too.

So, 3-4-4-8 BIOS booted, 1066 strap (of course) 2.9V, Team Group Xtreem PC2-5300, Asus Commando. Anyone doubting whether this is really CAS 3 can feel free to try and beat my time at the same clocks.



The clock for clock performance of this is actually even higher than what I got on a P5W DH 3-3-3 on the 9X.
