Heres a SS of what I've got so far:
Thats my best WPrime score ever!
I'm impressed with this boards ability to clock RAM, almost 1800 @ reasonable voltages and clocks.
Not too shaby on the Cores either considering I'm only @ 1.5v.
Oh well, I'm sure everyone is watching the BigDogs, but I'm pretty happy with this...
You didn't just do that!
Sure. Make me look at my DDR2 MA790GP-UD4H and realize how much it is garbage. (NOTE: Gigabyte still hasn't updated the bios for Thuban... they already did the older motherboard that this board replaced but they haven't done this board. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some hardware issue and they end up not supporting Thuban on this board.)
I was kind of waiting for the 890FX boards. But I was going to wait a bit longer.... until the next Thuban update probably in the summer.
BUT NO! You had to go and show the PhII 965 doing VERY WELL in the ASUS Crosshair IV. Now I want one... er rather... must have one. But I already decided that when I upgrade from DDR2 to DDR3 I would get top quality instead of medium quality ram. Ouch. (BTW: probably Dominator GT 1600 CL6 ram. EDIT: Dang I can get good 1600C7 for $130.00 and the 1600C6 is $280.00. I don't know I can justify the C6.)
DANG IT... there goes $500.00. And I won't even have Thuban yet. THANKS DAVE.
