Some of the CPU's need the memory to still catch up. . . . I can't max out the OC on my 2.4C yet. . . . ;) But it is getting close. . .

Maybe I'll hook up this damn Vapochill that is taking up space in my living room. :eek:

The Mach II is damn expensive. . . . .

The Mach II is damn expensive. . . . . you have a Vapo and not using it.. what a waste ... of space LOL

yeah full mach2 kit, enlight case, lcd and unit = AUD$1795 here in Oz but can pay 50% down payment and 50% when it gets in for shipping - most likely will wait until later anyway - got no room for it LOL

Yes, the mach II looks very nice, but very pricy. I just got a Vapo yesterday. The XE version. I'll try and hook it up this wekend on the 3.2C and see if I can get into the 260's. . . . :eek:

Now that should make a nice review. . .

I agree the cas timings are getting so weak we are fooling ourselves thing we are going faster when in fact it is just a bunch of speed numbers.

I think we need to go to DDRII sooner.....

The gain in performance with faster speed at neutered timngs may look good in synthetic testing but I am seeing ppl shopw the incresae if there is any is the most minimla I have seen lately for the premium to buy it.

I think speed is being limited out here and we need t olook at it a new way....Is DDRII a quad pumped device. 4 instruction per clock cycle??
