Yeah that wasn't my intention. Perhaps I should have provided you with a flame suit with my request. Given this is the 148th page of the thread, I figured we have almost run out of things to say about the M2F alone, I was under the impression it was an interesting comparison, given the fact the 2 boards in question are often 2 boards compared by people when choosing a new DDR2/s775 platform. Now people are moving to i7 & X58, I didn't think a couple of posts on X48 vs P45 would be too off topic let alone irritating.
As for Grnfinger posting pics of his new Rampage in here, I don't mind in the slightest, I actually thought it was good. We have all been posting in here for the better part of a year now, and as such I feel we are somewhat like friends; you guy's posts are the ones I see the most and your thoughts and opinions are the ones I hear the most. I wouldn't banish a mate from my house for telling me he got a new piece of hardware, and likewise I won't banish a mate from this thread for doing the same thing, in fact I welcome the sharing of information and purchases, whether related directly to the M2F or not; 99% of this thread is 'on topic', the odd digression from that is perfectly fine in my opinion.
Getting back to P45 vs X48, from my experience X48 is always faster than P45 at the same settings, and higher Everest bandwidth & latency scores don't always translate to a faster SPI32M time, just look at the Nvidia 680i chipset for example, great in everest, slow in SPI32M.
EDIT - I edited my post to show everest at the same settings as the SPI32M run. I have mucked around with various combinations of Clock Twister and DRT/SRC but have lost my notes on their effects in terms of SPI32M times at a given setting. DRT and SRC increase bandwidth with minimal effect on latency, and Clock Twister decreases latency the stronger you go but has a minimal effect of bandwidth. I might play around with that when I get some time.
