hmmm, right.
If I wasn't working at comtech I'd still be messing with a P3 450 and 128MB of SD ram.

And I'm pretty fearless, just one thing stopping me. Having to go back to that thing.

I'm not rich either
just cunning

Tbird900 / XP1800+@1690 / P4-1.6@2.4 / P4-1.8@2.55 / Duron900@1000 / XP2200+@2010

:grin:

last 2 rigs were almost a give-away

Duron 900: 20€
mobo: 0€
Ram: 15€
TNT2 : 10€
network : 5€

XP2200+ : 140€
Abit KX7R: 89€
Corsair: ~150€
GF2Pro: 0€
network: 5€

but enough off-topic brabling!

seems the Abit NF7-S beats the Epox quite hard when it comes down to Memory Benchmark & 3Dmark

abit is not a good OC board, according to [H]

And didn't epox have an unlocked PCI dividor?

I guess asus is about the best you can get ATM.

PCI = 1/2 AGP speed on the 8rda+, wich can be fixed at any speed between 50 and 100mhz.

I'll bet that if you dip it in LN it'll go even faster. Then again, won't help me.

And just for the record, could you test the difference it gives with just one memory module.

jmke · 2nd January 2003, 23:30

tests @ XS weren't done with LN fyi
the FSB has nothing to do with the CPU cooling

difference DCDDR <> SCDDR @ low FSB speed doesn't show with Sisoft Sandra, but it does in other apps
