| Could indeed be a limiting factor as well, although the difference shouldn't be this big. The only way I can be sure it's the cpu is by changing it and check the difference in overclockability. |

This is the very basic version of the story, but I hope it makes at least some sense. The main idea to remember is that the limitation really is tech-related and cannot be solved by an easy bios update. I was told that this bug was fixed in the new 6-core chip: a fourth registry key has been added to increase the memory frequency. No words yet on the added performance using memory >1GHz, though. | |
