The fact that you get a solid 60 at both resolutions means you have Vsync on, which is fine. It means that your cards would probably run Mass effect smoothly even at higher resolutions than you're using.

well
i have another question
is there an chance of overclocking the integrated Intel Graphics in the IBM?
cause the core speed of the "Intel Extreme Graphics 2" is 266mhz where as the core speed of the Radeon 7000 is 150mhz.....
so the integrated graphics is better than the radeon....
what i want to do is overclock the integrated graphics to maybe 350mhz...somewhere around there if it is even possible...
thanks,

No, there's far more to it than clock speed - trust me, Intel integrated graphics chips are not fast, at all, and to my knowledge, you can't overclock them - even them merely being there limits overclocking the CPU as well.

other factors for me not sticking to the radeon 7000
Radeon 7000:
Direct x 6
Intel:
Direct x 7
all other items in GPU-Z showed same value for both...
i guess i won't even mess with it then (the overclocking part)....
oh well

Actually, I'm pretty certain the Radeon 7000 is a DirectX 7 card, that after all is why it's the 7000 series.

All the R100 (7xxx series) are DirectX 7. The on-board ones lack T&L hardware and HyperZ is disabled, but may be enabled from the Registry, which may induce artifacts!

theonejrs,
i c
i don't know why the card shows up as a direct x 6 card in my computer but....i will try it in another computer and see if it still has the same issues.
cause what i am thinking is that the IBM and the Radeon do not get along very well (very very long boot times - mainly just loading up the bios!).

It's harder when you have a 7X multiplier. At your fsb, my E6750 is running at over 3.5GHz, thanks to the 8X multiplier. An E4300 because of it's 9X multiplier will run rings around the E6300!

it was stable at 3088mhz but was at 1.15v
i was just trying out what the lowest stable voltage was.....
it weird.....i mean...as time goes on, the e6300 requires less voltage to achieve the same clock speed(i started with 1.4v in October of 2007)...but...does not yield higher clocks!!!lol, in 1 year, i should be down to .75v!...if this continues

The answer is better more stable motherboards with better voltage controls and improvements in the bios to better manage the memory and fsb!

yea but that isn't true in my case
i have had the same motherboard since April of 2007!
well maybe it was the bios.....which i intentionally downgraded since this version of the bios allowed for the highest FSB...

That's a very likely possibility since nothing else has changed! My GA-965P-DS3 was like that! It ran super cool (27-28C) with the F8 bios, every other bios I tried ran hotter and the fans spun faster!

Talking about Motherboards, the Rampage Formula is 200 at newegg. Open box, but still VERY tempting.

lol
if it doesnt work
RMA it!!!!! you still get a good mobo for only 200!
me on the other hand....i am waiting for Nehalem cause i doubt i will be getting the Q6700 (it was out of stock like a month ago and said that it will be in stock "in 1 to 2 weeks"....well, its still saying that.....maybe i will just get an E8400 (only 94 bucks!)...and then get a quad or an octa when nehalem comes out along with a fresh Nvidia 980i chipset mobo!

there is still one thing...i started with 1.35v on this bios and same everything else and now i am down to 1.104 sooooo i really do think that the e6300 might be getting "loose" or something and therefore requiring less voltage....
below i am guessing.....
*********correct me if i am wrong but don't we over volt so that impurities in the silicon "pipes" are overcome? so the voltage basically "cuts" through those impurities? and when these impurities get "smoothed" out, we require less voltage?***********
thanks,

Not to my knowledge - if any 'cutting' occurs with higher voltage, it's electronmigration, and a bad thing.

what is the point of overvolting anyway?

another question
why is my mobo stuck at 1765mhz fsb?
even if i drop the multiplier on my CPU to 6x instead of the normal 7x, i can still only do 1765mhz fsb max....what can i do to overcome this? i KNOW for a fact that the cpu can do much higher clocks.... E6300 batch code L729A321...one of the best batches of C2Ds....

yea but what does it exactly do?
why does it increase the tolerance for speed?

Not bad concidering the low vcore, if it indeed is stable.
I know most here arn't a fan ov high FSB or use of vcore to OC but I ran an E6300 on !975X almost 2yrs back up to %532FSB on the 6x and very smoothly at 480x at little over 1.42v for a nice comfortable 3.36GHz on the 7x. It needed good quality cooling if on air and that appears to be something that gets second to big GPU insttead.
We use FSB for chipset pefrormance level increase (PL or trd). We also use it where RAM dividers are not so stable and 1:1 gives better results. We especially use higher FSB to get the most out of a low FID multi CPU as long as the mobo can keep up. And today on P35 and all X38/48/X45, you will not have a mobo hold back. It will almost for sure be the CPU then RAM.
500FSB is a snap for that E6300 on good air. It will not beet the E6750 but it holds up to an old E6600 only lacking L2 and clock MHz. Otherwise, not bad for abudget CPU runing DDR1066 in 1:1 @ 3.2GHz.
I know the regulars wont' go for it, but just wanted to share in case some never got the full potential of the old OC worthy E6300.
Clock On!

nuck i wanna start to delve in deep OCing as you do, so can you explain what the terms mean, and why they are used, and what tehy are used for, and what values they should be for 65nm c2d?
firstly what is strap?
