Can any one tell me which is likely to be best out of either CellShock PC2 8000 CAS4 (GKX) or Cellshock PC2 8500 Cas5 (GMH) looking at running 4x1GB DIMMS on my P5Q deluxe

Well your getting 9.5 bandwidth with those settings, my settings are wayyy higher and im getting 10,333, so i tend to believe zsasm about gigabytes overclock well and do high fsb, but offer below par performance. Dont like dfi, have heard some bad things, always been a msi fan (neo mike) i think its time for a new motherboard, asus looks tough to beat hmmm decisions

DFI are NOT god. There are plenty of other boards that are far easier to get on with (note: much more stable and reliable) and offer performance that is not exactly off the pace with a DFI. I will never touch a DFI board ever again after the NF2 and NF4 hassles I had with DFI boards, POS wasn't even stable with stock settings. Throw the exact same hardware on any other manufacturers board though and no problems. Can't comment on a Gigabyte board as the last one I had used a VIA KT400 chipset However I can vouch for Asus P45 boards (currently I got 9.5GB\s bandwidth with a measly 3.2GHz @ x8 400FSB) TPower, in spite of its horrible BIOS, and even the MSI P45 boards.

the dfi nf4 boards were one of the best i ever used the board took abuse n never complained
just people like you who like the easy way or get confused in bios

dfi boards are finiky but once you get them going you love em
asus p45 boards overclocking quads nicely but bandwidth suks like gigabut
the dfi ut p45 has nice bandwidth and not verry picky on ram
just wait till the prices drop
one thing for sure i be gettin one

[neo mike]

Hmmm hey i admit i dont know everything about overclocking, but i have heard bad things about dfi boards, and good things, but more bad than good. So what your really saying is dfi board give the best bandwidth ? cause you say gigabytes dont, and now asus dont. Well i believe that gigabyte dont, cause i should be pulling way more bandwidth, so i guess asus and gigabyte dont know how to make there boards have good performance according to you, they only overclock well , but dont do benching well, i will be testing that, im getting a asus, and a gigabyte ud3p, and i will test them, and find out, i think your just a hardcore dfi guy.

i'm a asus fanboy
but in the last few years dfi been good to me
some of their boards might not boot but once they get goin
thats why i always buy from a seller with good rma policy

Firstly, thats incredibly insulting. If I was the kind who likes the "easy" way or "get confused", I would hardly be of the calibur of ripping bits of BIOS code apart just to squeeze more out of it . Fortunately for you, I'll bite my tounge this time.

Secondly, I went through 3 NF4 DFI boards, none liked any of the hardware I threw at them, and again if all that hardware worked fine on any other board but wouldn't even run stable @ stock, that suggests the board was not that great. I even still have a review of a DFI NF4 board kicking about somewhere from a well known magazine, who also couldn't get the POS to run stable even stock but all the other boards in the roundup worked perfectly.

First off you dont even know me, and i never take the easy way out for your information, dont make statements about people you dont even know, how old are you 12?

lucky you
you got the ones that suked

This is the last time I'll bother replying to your seemingly very childlike responses, its a waste of thread space. Even if there were boards that "sucked", theres no way all the NF4 boards from DFI I tried all would of sucked, once I tried everything possible with each board I just consigned it to the junk pile and bought another as DFI RMAs are horrendously bad and bought another board, there was a good 2 month gap between each purchase. So on the final board I tried that made a 6 month gap, theres no was any sucky boards would of been floating around still with the places I bought from.
