@FIHSNERD,
Try to stay on topic!!(or at least close to it).
Torrents/cracks etc are not allowed here.If you need that kind of information look elsewhere I'm sure you will find what your looking for.
Well with regards to prime 95 theres good news and bad news.First the good news.Started prime @6.30pm last night,went to bed @around 12.30am so 6 hours running checked before I went to bed all is good.Get up this morning @8am the damn alarm clock is flashing 12.00 at me!!!!!
A F*****G power cut!!!!!!!!! I must admit with the rain and wind we had last night I had thought about turning the computer off anyway just in case but really wanted to see prime @12hours stable.
Sorry guys,I'm really disappointed.But don't worry hopefully I can report some good news soon.

geestar20's mom works for Intel here in Phoenix and she's had one of the chips you're referring to in her possession for many months now. We can't get her to give it up!!!

@peanuts2,
You might want to change your sig.You don't have DDR2 memory,you have dual channel DDR:)

The weather has gone from bad to worse its pouring down and windy as hell here!!!
Just took a photo outside.

But I will still give prime another shot tonight.
Hopefully no more blackouts!

LMAO..
nice..
and i am sorry about not staying on topic.. i am ceasing all remnice or however you spell it.. of anything other than intel and amd..
btw: is the 2.6 the thing that beat the FX62 clocked at 3.0
i was plainning my next build.. but thats where things get expensive..
i was going to get the 2 core. but i am having thoughts about this reverse hyperthreading??
have any of yall herd about it.. ??
its where they take 2 cores... and they make it 1 virtual core.. so it theory.. the 4x4 platfrom... 4 duel cores = 8 cores made it to 1 core would = an KICK *** of an computer???
with the financial freedom that is..
and crappy weather..
but until you live in florida.. u cant talk.. :)

Have Fun,

I know all about weather in florida. Incinerating one minute, drowning the next. Not a very stable climate!

Reverse HT sounds interesting, but in this day and age, you want at least two cores. 4 is excessive, but maybe making 4 into 2 I could understand.

sammoris,

Next time you might send a discrete PM, off of the thread, as these are private. Just a suggestion. I just got done with the some type of thing with Sophocles over at the hounds before I PM'd him and straightened it out. I think it is in the Forum Rules.

Sincerely,
theonejrs

Just for something you might not want to discuss with another member in open forum, on the thread. Otherwise it might appear that AD condones that sort of thing.

To All,

Well, I just had to play some more. I think I improved it because it cut 6 minutes off of my RB/CCE process. I ripped, Prepped, Encoded, Re-Build and burn in under 2 hours. After being used to 3 hours + on my Prescott, this is a slice of heaven!!!

Anyway, I went into the setup and locked the memory at 400MHZ so now the memory runs at 475MHz instead of 396MHZ. I changed the memory timings to 2.5-4-4-6 and it runs great. I also increased the CPU voltage to 1.375v.

I gave up a couple of MIPS, but still above 20,000 and gained a whole lot of memory bandwidth. Seems to run good. Case temps went up a few degrees because the memory is now overclocked so it's running hotter. Multi-Media stayed almost the same. Did a quick Prime95 run on it for a few hours with no errors. I'll run it overnight and see what it does.

Happy Computering,
theonejrs

theonejrs,

Nice to hear your still experimenting with your Prescott.I am finishing up with my build right now...well sort of.I won't get the new memory until tommarrow,but I did stick in a single 512 stick for now.If I only could get this thing to boot properly I'd start doing some testing.Even though I reformatted the hard drive it still thinks it's got xp home and pro and asks me which o/s to log onto.Home edition is no longer there! I installed Pro on the hard drive! Any suggestions?

Main System- Amd/64 3800x2 currently@ 2.5ghz. Asus A8N-E,win.xp-pro.4x1gb.Ocz platnium ddr 400,Maxtor 40gb.& 250gb.ide & 2x W.D.250 sata,Benq 1650V dvd Reader & Benq DW-1655 Writer,EVGA Geforce 7600gs,Creative Audigy-LS,Antec 750w psu. Vizio 37"hdtv monitor 1360x768@75hz.

Nope, it's my D940. I'm still waiting on Fedex to get here with my CPU Cooler bracket for my Prescott.

Your problem is simple.
To specify the default operating system for startup:
Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the operating system you want to start when you turn on or restart your computer. Choose your new OS (XP-Pro)
Select the Display list of operating systems for check box, and then type the number of seconds you want the list displayed before the default operating system starts automatically. Just make it 0 seconds for XP-Home and you won't see it again.

theonejrs,

Thanks for the info,I already got that sorted(with a little help) but now to my newest problem.Why can't I adjust the fsb? I have ai booster set to manual,I can highlight the speed but it won't allow me to adjust it.What do you think?

***update***
Using ai boost I now have the fsb@960,the cpu@3601.22 and the temp is at 45c!All the other settings are where you suggested.

OK!!!
Finally got back from my Daughters school carnival(she got a first in 100m and third in 200m so I,m quite proud of her!!)
Well,all went according to plan last night.
Here's the result I had been hoping for!!!!!
The voltage on the AMD utility is wrong its actually 1.475v.
Doesnt matter what I set the voltage to in bios it always shows 1.4 with this utility??

Boxwrench,

Forget that silly Ai Booster and use the real settings in the setup. Yes it takes more time but the results are way better. In the setup you can adjust everything!!! Besides, Ai Booster teaches you nothing and it won't usually run at 20%!!!
