Randi,

Good to see you back in benching and nice to see you chose to go AMD, most ppl go Intel nowadays but with the upcoming Thuban some ppl might change their minds.

It's been a long time since i ran Aquamark, my believe is that it runs best under windows XP and since i'm on windows 7 i haven't given it much attention. After i reached my goal of 300K on my E8600 i haven't benched it again.

05 on the other hand is a nice bench for AMD/ATI but it's mostly about CPU power and a bit about memory/timings. Pretty sure you will slaugther my 33K score soon.

My 965BE C3 has a very weak CPU-NB too, the 955BE C3 i have now benches 3D at 3GHz but the cores don't clock as good as the cores of my 965.

Grats on the Crosshair IV my friends, i will be getting one for my birthday, at least that's what i asked my wife.

Oh, i think this topic was about best ram for AMD platform...sorry for ot ramblings.
