Apparently I reported my video wrong? Where would I find the most accurate specs for that?
Done! Don't worry about the FM link not showing SLi. I have it down as 2 GPU cores so it's good.;) Now, OC the heck outta it!:D Welcome to the team!!!:cool:Quote:

However, 3dmark06 is reporting my cpu to be a Q6700 at 3.6 GHz, which it certainly is not. All said and done, CPU-Z reports 3.2 GHz. My computer properties reports 3.6 but a Q6600, so it is retardedly confused. Any ideas? According to BIOS settings CPU-Z should be correct. Anyway, here's the info.Quote:

You might be able to knock me off the #1 spot but first you need to to run just two sticks of memory so you can run at 1T command rate. Your quad core will score much higher than my dual core in the CPU tests so you have the potential of knocking me out of the box. Good luck.Quote:

You only need 2GB, actually less, to run 3dm06 so just take out a couple sticks when benchmarking. The numbers you see about memory latency like 5-5-5-15 are the number of cpu cycles it takes to get the requested data out of memory and present it to the bus for the memory controller to pick it up and stuff it into the L2 cache. Again, the lower these numbers the better.Quote:

Everything the same except my RAM, which is down to 2 Gigs:

Thanks! I definitely want to OC the video card next.Quote:

I feel ridiculous that the last gig is just sitting on my desk, useless.
Very nice -- OC the the vidcard now and you'll probably be in the 17-18k range in 3dm06. If you hit 18K that would be great. Check out RivaTuner to OC your vidcard -- it has a rather high learning curve but worth the effort. Else, just use nTune. Keep GPU temps around 85 - 90C under max load.Quote:

mikeysg hold on any updates if you could. I'm moving servers around for the next few days. Thanks. :)
Hey there vert, take your time.......take all the time in the world if you wanna!:D Now, I have a good excuse for the lazy rut I'm in at the moment....:p :DQuote:
