having fun with Prescott - Page 4

4.2 is SuperPi-sisoft stable,...

4278 isn't.
only my ram can't get that high, so no good benchmarks.
ram was on 5:4.

PC4400 could get to 285 using relaxed timings and high voltage

That's real GOOD.

How do you feel?
Eccentric
On top of the world
Simply wonderful
Happy
Sense of accomplishment
Grateful
Appreciative
Untouchable
All the above:feesten:

ok, maybe, but I'm not going buy other ram.
on my P4C800 this ram did 278mhz superPI 1:1 and now it isn't possible on the Abit.
not even 270 is stable.

have a look at this :

lazyman, I'm feeling old, you forgot that one

the PIV Northwood hasn't even run one day on 3.0Ghz, same for the R9800Pro.
the X800Pro will have the same treatment, I'm a veteran

so that means : no improvement on 3d... coz probably at 4.2 , even with 1:1 ram it'd be slower then the 4.0 ghz northy

my northy will go on another halfyear

Gamer,
Excellent numbers, nevertheless. I found the Prescott does better in DVD copy than Northy; otherwise, I don't "FEEL" the "SPEED". It's not like driving a V10 Viper versus a tweaked Camero with Vette engine. The V10 pushes you back starting at 1500 rpm all the way to 5,000.

It shows the Prescott can be Oc'ed better than Northy. I could push mine to 3.7Ghz but the mother is HOOOOT, yet stable. For everyday use, I leave it at 3.5. :^)

Should do a review on "Having fun with Prescott".

I was thinking about buying one of those cheap 2.4Ghz Prescotts, they overclock like mad and cost only 128 euro. Then again, for less than 40 euro more one can buy a A64 2800+, which is faster and produces way less heat. Hard choice, but i guess the prescott would be more fun.
