Have been pondering making change to x9 multi, but have work related stuff stacked up. I did try x9 multi months ago, about the time Vegas 7.0 was released. Quick tests showed "i frame" sync slippage and reverted back to x10 multi, 300FSB. Will have to give it another try, especially with new Vegas 7.0d release and purchase of new OCZ DDR2-8800 (cheap, nowadays) Will have to rethink EIST power usage vs., performance increase... (machine can sit idle for hours and would prefer to save on energy/greenhouse load)
Not being cheeky- but you can always switch the machine off when you arent using it and get the best of both worlds!
