Not CPU limited, not graka limited. Must be mobo/memory then.
Dual channel should give a huge boost, and if memory is all that's keeping you back, it might actually gain a couple of thousand points. That and the 875's PAT might be something.

Unless somthing's wrong. Try memtest 86, and prime to see if any of them fail.

Prime fails above 3330mhz, but 3d stable up to 3550mhz. Memtest reports no errors.

I will be able to test dual channel tonight, i'm curious about the boost.

@piotke: max vdimm: 2.65v. bh-5 sticks do about 220mhz on relax timings (2.5, 6-3-3) on default voltage and memtest reports no errors.

Dual channel barely makes a difference:

So what do you guys think? Any other option left but to buy a true overclocking board? If so, which one for <150? Abit IC7?

Well if all things ARE about equal, there's somthing that's gotta be keeping you back.

I only know that I want the P4C800-E Deluxe. P4C800 vanilla is known to do good too.

I think i'm going to keep the P4P800-VM for a while. After playing GTA: Vice City and C&C generals i can say it's defenitly faster than my AMD setup, even if most benchmark apps tell otherwise. It's probably the clockgen app.


I don't feel like spending 220 euro on a motherboard that isn't much faster, but doesn't screw up benchmark apps... I'll wait till next month.
