    If that was for "V"antage "P"erformance then those scores are OK for your system at stock. It's Vantage, not Advantage
    Here's some stuff that will help you after you get your vidcards:

    OCing your vidcards will be different than I show below, so you'll need to make the matches to the ATI control panel.





    **** WARNING WARNING you MUST have excellent cpu cooling ****
    The following BIOS settings got me to 4.2Ghz, see recommendation below on how I got there. And your D0 step cpu will take less voltage.

    C1E: disable
    Hardware Prefetcher: disable
    Adjacenct Cache: disable
    Intel VT: disable
    CPU TM: disable
    Exceute Disable Bit: disable
    Intel HT: Enable
    Active Processore Cores: Enable
    A20M : disable
    Intel Speed Step: Enable ( *Turbo On Multiple @ 21)
    Intel Turbo Mode: Enable ( *Turbo On Multiple @ 21)
    Intel C-STATE: disable
    Set your memory timings to those recommended by maker and Vdimm to 1.65
    CPU Ratio Setting: Auto
    BCLK: 200Mhz
    PCIE: 100Mhz
    DRAM: 1600Mhz (I'm using DDR3 1600 ram, your's may be different)
    Vcore: 1.45V
    CPU Pll: auto
    QPI/DRAM: auto
    IOH: auto
    IOH PCIE: auto
    ICH: auto
    ICH PCIE: auto
    DRAM Bus: 1.64V
    Load-Line Calibration: Enable
    CPU Clock Skew: auto
    CPU Spread Spectum: Disable
    IOH Clock Skew: auto
    PCIE Spread Spectum: Disable

    Bump up Vcore one notch from stock (1.08) and set Bclk to 140. Boot and make sure you're stable (Prime95??? or your app of choice). Keep cpu temp at or below 74c. Then slowly move up to 4.2Ghz by bumping Bclk 10Mhz at a time up to 180, then by 5Mhz to 200, booting after each bump and checking stability. For each bump in Bclk bump Vcore two notches up to 1.45. Check DRAM Freq at each bump in Bclk to be sure you are at or below max freq for your memory.

    Thanks, right now it looks like the 5970`s will be in stock before the 5870`s and you will only be able to buy one 5870 when they are in stock.
