805 D Asus P5nd2 sli preliminary results

[davvy76]

Hi guys this is mainly for the people interested in this thread:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=94746

so i'm posting the results of my experimentation so far. I did have the p5ld2 but had issues with it so sent it back for rma and got the sli board in the meantime and funnily enough i'm getting a better overclock. One question though, my ram is patriot 667 stuff but i'm baffled as to how this ddr2 speed is worked out, am I right in assuming you divide by 2 as with ddr1 to get the true speed? the bios is really confusing as i've got 667 dialled in for the seperate memory clock but its not right (see cpu-z), i've had amd for years and the last p4 i has was a 1.6a so this ddr2 thing has me a little thrown. The reason I ask this is because super-pi seems too slow at 36secs for 1m. From what I can see the cpu is not throttling
