Dont sweat it, its ok.  I really want to know why some users seem to prefer speedtest's result score over ours. I really want to know, Im not being a smart ass.

I think ppl including me choose to post the result that shows the fastest speed 

Its hard to tell what speedtest that shows most accurate speed, but if your speed is more then 10% of advertised, you should question how accurate the test is

just a sidenote, some servers at speedtest dot net says i have a 30Mbps upload, thats around 3 times my cap...

i could post some scores and claim real but i know better

read this thread http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1972653&frmKeyword=&STARTPAGE=92&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

got some tips when it comes to OC on that mobo

VanBuren

the FSB of ur quad is only 266 MHz

is this true ?

I dont know, but bus speed seems good, its 4 times the FSB

maybe somone here can give some details how memory, bus speeds, fsb, ratios work together

You'll be hitting 11K before the day is over with.

had to break 11k lol

i wish i had your processor. lol

you can get the q6600 now for like $500..

havent seen any tests with the q6600, i assume its locked CPU multiplier on that one

its not much benefits with quadcore in 3d, atleast not yet. I bought this quadcore since i plan to have this PC for 5 years.

I figured its easy to upgrade the videocards when its needed

good find tommie

ran the PCmark05 as well

had to test 3dmark01se on this clock

GPU 616/2030

CPU 2940

Need more validation links so users with results in the ORB can compare properly.

Very nice results Van. Your processor & graphics card are a monster match up. You'll be hitting 11K before the day is over with.

Thxz for the link.

Don't know if my results will improve with the extra gig of ram I put in. Guess I'll OC and test soon.

i agree, more links!

also a good AGP score

are your GPU at stock speed?

one more gig should help a bit, but i dont think much

almost 11k now

here is the latest clock 616/2030

10967p

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1751643

think ill give up, dont want to ruin something to pass 11k lol

i think the 320MB model i have suffer in these test compared to the 640MB model, but o well games run smooth and thats all i ask for 

VanBuren

how far did you get your gpu to van?

i pushed mine to 660 core 2100 memory  stable 

(500 core/1600 mem stock)

anything higher would artifact

i have eVga 8800GTS 640MB

i didnt push much, i set the memory to 1000 and core at 620 at first, but then i saw artifacts so i lowered core to 605

maybe i should have lowered the memory and increased core, i dunno whats best.

temps got up, gpu was around 80 C idle, dont want to know the temps on load lol

VanBuren

OC the GPU even more, with some luck i pass 11k some day

VanBuren

awesome, i think thats the fastest score ever against testmy.net

With a larger testfile you would most likely go even faster

VanBuren

btw welcome to the forum

So tell me VanBuren what is an american dollar worth over where you are at??

2 cents?? lol

dont know what your fishing for, but 1,00 SEK gives me 0,14 USD

VanBuren

i use vista only for DX10, for tweaking and maxing out a connection XP is better.

But for most ppl, that knows nothing about tweaks, Vista selftuning RWIN do a great job

VanBuren

looking good DJ

those temps are fine, wish i could be around 30 C on CPU during full load, it more like 60 for me haha

without digging, your 3dmark is around where it suppose to be. You most likely need to OC your videocard to pass 10k, i did that once just to break 10k, but changed back to default again, since i don't have the need for it right now.

now you can run all games at full details and still have decent fps, enjoy !

VanBuren

try that, then you see a estimated need for Watts, but as been said, you need to check the amps aswell

VanBuren

It is disabled. 

read this thread http://www.hostingforum.ca/244475-e6600-d975xbx2.html

it might be heat throttling

VanBuren

its Intel speed step, disable it in BIOS

VanBuren

looking good, average 194 fps in CS should be more then enough

do you play other games?

VanBuren

i would check this site, http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html#certified_powersupplies

VanBuren

Im happy to just passed 10k, after some OC of videocard and CPU 

My videocard single 320MB 8800 GTS is the weak link, with all default i get 9500p so lack of memory is the problem
