Here you go russ. Im kind of afraid to mess with the NB, or anything at this point. Its extremely stable and smooth where its at now. Besides, I have other pressing matters LOL. I just wanted to see what all the hype was about regarding "SuperPi"

@Omega,
when you run the SuperPi tests try to disable every background program you have running. Even a few small apps can kill your result by 3-4 seconds. Especially considering my 940 scored 20 seconds at stock. On XP though, but Windows 7 shouldn't hurt your score. I haven't run SuperPi with the OC lately but now I plan to.
@Sam,
Most of the AM3 chips are AM3/AM2+ compatible. I think the 955, the 945, and the 810 are the only ones that are AM3 only yet. I know people running the tri-cores in 780G boards so I'd assume the dual cores can do the same no problem.

You should be able to use all Am3 cpu's in compatible am2+ boards. The Am3 cpu's have the dual memory controller so it will work with ddr2 and ddr3. But you might have to update the bios to get it to work.

Oh yah. Thats a given when ever I run ANY benchmark LOL! Although, avg was still in my system tray, but I dont think it takes much, not much at all. Mainly just a little memory. Im gonna compare a few tests in XP here shortly. Shutting down virtually all non essential processes.

Ok. It seems there is no difference between safe mode, and normal startup. So increasing my memorys bandwidth would have an effect huh. I dont like the idea of playing around with my memory's settings again.
If I get a board in the future with onboard Graphics...SHOOT ME LOL! Because I get the feeling that that has at least a little to do with my limited options.

Sam,
Shaff hit the nail right on the head! All people care about is the speeds they can hit, not the % of overclock! I have to agree because mine does the job at a lower speed than the E6750 did. I'm totally impressed with it because it runs far better than it's benchmarks would indicate. I've raised the CPU NorthBridge a total of 400+MHz so far, and that's fattened up the memory bandwidth about 800+MBs, and it seems to do everything better and faster! I still haven't figured out the HT totally yet! LOL!! Temps are real good, and it passes Linpack. There's also faster throughput and program execution! Noticeably faster!
Best Regards.
Russ

Oman7,
How were you able to get that screen shot? I've even tried to take a pic of the full window, but all it shows is the little active window in the middle. It should automatically keep your numbers. I know mine still shows my E6750 numbers for every mode I've run! Unless it's beaten, yours should show your best efforts to date!

Surely you just use paint?
If all people care about is the clock speeds then that's preying on pure idiocy. Unfortunately, it works.

Sam,
You can't use Paint or Photoshop, because the only active window there is is the little finish one. Even making a pic of the whole desktop fails. All you get is the tiny finish button, which clears the results from the screen!

I've never had that problem. Taking a picture of SuperPi has always given images like omega posted. Hardware acceleration problem perhaps?

Sam,
I don't think so! It's never allowed me to do it! It might be the software I use, Screen Grabber Pro! I doubt that it's a hardware acceleration issue, as it did the same thing on my Intel. Probably screen Grabber Pro. I like the program as it's easy to use and does a good job. I'm not going to change just because I can't get a pic of that window!

As I said, mspaint. Always worked fine for me, the only thing it can't do is game/video screenshots, for which it's fraps for games, and VLC for video. Job done!

Russ,
Im an avid Mspaint user, as well as Photoshop. Im really trying to make the switch to Photoshop completely, but darn it! Mspaint is soooo user friendly and FAST FAST FAST, that I can't help but use it when im in a hurry, which is most the time :D BY the way, I use the "Prt Scr" button to take a snap shot. It doesnt work with EVERYTHING thats displayed, but most things. It saves it to the "windows clipboard" in which you paste it into paint, photoshop, etc. "Ctrl V"
Bigwill,
Is this the thread your talking about?

@ Russ,
I think it's Prt Scrn for a full window and alt + Prt Scrn to take a shot of the currently selected window. I've never even heard of a screen grabber program. You don't need it as you can do everything in Windows without extra software.

Estuansis,
Do you have any idea what you just did for me!!! LOL!!! I had no idea that any window could automatically be cropped! Mspaint is so simple, I never felt the need to look. THANK YOU very much :D Yes, apparently ALT + Prt Scrn = current window.

LOL we're learning new stuff every day.
Yeah FRAPS is my main program for in-game screenies. I've tried using VLC for video screen shots but every time I get a moving mirror image of the video that goes black when I close VLC.
