Very NICE!!!

However I lose about 120 points with CAT 3.5 and 2001 and I gained about 30 points in 2003...

What happened to the Overclocking n00b in your title? :-P

:D

I format /u that title :)

Only if I could use it, they won't let me change it until I get 5K posts. Dang it. Can you change your titles before 5k posts?

THANKS!:D I'm thinking of trying for 20k but I won't be able to do it unless I change my NB:( . What's a good NB cooler anyway?:confused: Any suggestion is much appreciated.:D :D (I think this is off-topic, isn't it?:o If so, just ignore this;) )

:P Don't complain about your NB. If I had an NB like yours (not to mention your Barton), I could get 20k with my current cooling (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). ;) It's your video card that is holding you back, IMHO.

Yeah, I'll have to agree with you 'bout this after giving this some thought:) , btw what the heck brand of 9800Pro did you get 'cause that's some sweet oc'able card you've got (wanna sell it?). :) ;) Looks like it's modding time for my 9800Pro, I've been thinking modding my 9800Pro for quite some time now, just can't decide on what cooler to get, any thought on this?:) The Thermaltake Giant II caught my eyes but it's not available here.:mad:
P.S.

Guess I'm lucky in this dept :) , I had wanted to try another make of mobo but my friend, who owns a comp shop, advised me to stick to the Abit board ('cause according to him, Abit has a bios that's so sweet for oc'ing and the rev2.0 really rocks!), so I sold my rev1.0 and got the rev2.0:D . It's a damn sweet board!;) When's your prommy coming, btw?

It's a Built by ATI 9800 Pro. The kicker is that, even at 475/400, I was only getting slight artifacting (I mean, I could count the number of white dots at one time with two hands). Of course, this was using my ghetto mod (AMD stock fan instead of the Radeon's fan :)). I wonder how far I could have gotten. I just stopped because my CPU was really sweating and I knew I had beaten you (or so I thought :p).

I would sell it, except I'd lose the amazing warranty I have on it (3 years, no questions asked [I could drop this thing on the ground and smash it], fully transferable [so if they give me a replacement, the warranty is transferred to the new card] warranty :D). Booya. :cool:

Oh man!:eek: Damn you guys have all the luck;) , such an arrangement is unthinkable in my country, hell, I'll be laughed at for suggesting this to any retailer (even my friend:( ) Still I'mm gunning for 20k but THAT's gonna take some time (I have a sinking feeling that, by then, you'll occupy the #1 AMD rig in SF.;) , Damn! when I joined the team, I did not expect to get into a pissing match with anybody:D ;) :D HeHeHe)

This is the team thread!! Anything relating to getting higher marks, or competition in general is ON TOPIC!:)

About the pissing match...your #3 dude! Sharky's has 30,000 registered members, there are plenty who want to take you down. Keeping em' off is what makes it fun.:)

You think it's tough at #3, try being number #1. Everyone has their sites set on you at #1.:D

I know you can break 20K. It's time for water cooling. Even if for your vid card only, grab a MCW50-T, a rad, and a pump. Thats all you need.:)

I know you can break 20K.:)

Hey now!!!!

Dont influence him!!! I am next in line to get bumped down :D :D :D

I don't think either of you is under threat from me:D ;) , I'd watch out for xDUCK if I were you;) , I'd just like to break 20k (it's MY holy grail) Water cooling you say, I'll look into that, Thanks for the tip guys!:D

P.S. I've changed my sig, gotta bask in the glory of being #1 AMD and #3 Unlimited for as long as it lasts (which, I have a feeling, isn't too long.:( I can see xDUCK, djinni, Danon, lostilhild6 and the rest flying lazy circles over me right now, HeHeHe!:D *runs for cover*)
