after reading thorugh these thread i get the feeling that s7 is running on a x1 ht link multiplier (according to CPU-Z), maybe that's the problem with these benches

i can't try it myself because the only 2s system i have is the ones of my dad and this is a first gen 940 board running 2 265 cpus , but all the screens of K8 cpus show the correct ht link speed...

and s7 s DC optys also show the correct ht link ( do they run in the same board as the quads???)
