Got me a new gigabyte athlon64 board

[Flamer]

The board is a k8n pro with nforce3 150. I am still trying to figure out the fastest setting but so far i am very pleased with it. As i am typing this i am runnig 220fsb with 1to1 on the ram, I had to give my poor old corsair 2x256 rev1.1 pc3200 2.8 volts and slack the memory timmings to 2.5,3,3,7 to be stable. It seems like if i raise the fsb any more it will only boot half the time no matter what v-core and if the ram is at 5to4 so i am thinking it may be some other issue. Tony has modded gigabyte bios before to fix alot of cold and warm boot issues with extra agp volts on boot i wonder if that maybe the issue here? Anyway i'll get some benchies posted later and the athlon64 feels smokin fast:)

Pointreyes,

I thought that was not released yet:) Is there any noticable improvements?

I am starting to really like this AMD rig i broke 20,000 3dmarks for the firt time using a 9700pro. I had a 3.06 running at 4 gig at one time and i never broke 20,000 on that card:)

Noticeable improvements are hard to determine due to lack of drivers. And stinkin' Sandra has really, really, really ticked me off. :(

I got this thing running @ 225fsb and my corsair pc3200 cas2 is @ 450 2.5,3,3,6. This thing flys:)


This is my 3dmark @ 398/351 on the 9700pro
