Alcpone's Official 3DMark '06 Compilation

And thats where DDR3 comes in my friend

no it's a very large waste of money to buy something for benching but has no practical use, sounds like I might have to buy some some day. na just kidding DDR3 is a total waste really on these chips. If I was building from scratch maybe but not now, DDR2 is plenty fast. Really all you need is DDR2 1000 to 1100 to get ya to 5.0ghz and really nothing is 24/7stable past 4.5ghz anyways, with reasonable voltage. I do like the 790I FTW boards and always have but I don't want to spend the money on that crazy over priced ram and then there is the ebay sale hassel, rebuild, and hoping I don't get a bios hardrive corruption or bad incompatable ram, or any of the many other crazy problems 790I boards have and other ddr3 boards for that matter. Hum the more I talk about this the more I think I might try it. Um Naaa baby Naa. I think under ten seconds in super PI with a 149.00 cpu and 80.00 ram and a ddr2 board thats does 580fsb is plenty fast for now.

Lol, not that old chesnut....no 790i boards suffer from data corruption anymore as far as I am aware, oh and decent DDR3 is cheaper than top end DDR2 in the UK, DDR3 is really quite cheap now., it's just very nice to run a quad on a 465FSB 24/7 and have the memory running a real 1:1 at around 1860mhz, many on 7-7-7-18 1T

Good to see you back by the way Tom!

check it out with ddr2 1000, and are we talking 4gb of ddr3 is cheaper than 4gb of ddr2

Add This

Got the P5E3 back from RMA, hopefully will beat out some of my old scores. Here is everything at stock, 4870 is flashed to 800/1100 clocks but both CCC and GPU-z read 750/900 so I don't know which it is, maybe 800/110 when benching at 750/900 at idle. Anyway enough rambling, only gained about 100 pts going from dual 8x 2.0 + 4x to dual 16x 2.0 + 4x.
