| 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. |

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.

| 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.
