yeah i've played a little and found similar things

i have to say that bioses are still in early stages which will improve performance once they become more stable

i've mainly played with GB boards and the dividers are pretty spotty and hard to tweak but when you hit the right ratio speeds are REALLY good >> 45K 1M efficiency non tweaked with memory not maxed out yet at 5GHz....

i am looking forward to another chipset manufacturer introducing their chipsets which will have dividers that can allow RAM to be maxed out at stock FSB as well as any other frequency. That is one thing that bugs me about Intel chipsets.....to take advantage of the new RAM you have to hit high FSB and with quads on the way most people will be maxing out around 450 FSB which is just not enough

FSB plays a big role in SuperPi so we really need those E8500 chips to start hitting 600 to see where we're at and whether it's the FSB as well that is lacking

Victor is right though tweaking isn't as effective....i tried mainly 1M stuff but i see 32M is definitely not as good as it used to be with lower cache CPU from you and hipro
