what for program use you for the frames? --- fps

[kwazhimself]

same on my mobo, from 1.550vcore it suddenly stops going up by .25 and starts increasing in whole increments --1.550 - 1.650 - 1.7 ect ect

i that a brisbane? when i get my new heatsink we'll c if i can move on from 2.7ghz and match that with my manchester

[Blurredman]

I cant get my 4200 past 2.7 unfortunately.

[kwazhimself]

@Blurredman why

[Blurredman]

My motherboard cannot exceed a particular voltage. I can get it to 2.8 but it is unsteady and the voltage is increased drastically to get to 2.8 rather than leaving it at 2.7

nice oc for the little one :D

[g0rbak]

but u get less fps comparing C2D vs AMD and i dont think 50dollars for a good cpu is expensive... like E4300... its 1.8GHZ but u get 3.0GHZ on stock and a medium end motherboard...

In the time when i was buying my Athlon X2, that Intel CPU costed more then double with motherboard, as compared to Amd Cpu+Motherboard.

So I saved money and I can upgrade now ;)

Intel does overclock nicely, that is great i think.

But My cheap AmdX2 Have Vitrtualzation instructions and Intel did not.

i love amd processors, they're cheaper because they don't need huge cache onchip, since their memory bandwidth is so huge! most people don't even need anything better than a 4200+ if they have a good hard drive, RAM, and video card. Deneb will be sick!

now run orthos for 24 hours. see if you can get it to stable like that :D
