Good good.

 

I would keep trying with XP as well (I'm running SP3 as well btw)

It could have just been ORB playing up and you are likely to get higher scores compared to Vista.

we can run multiple OS as long as they are in the list of approved.

this means we do not have to put up with sucky Vista scores in apps that hate Vista.

you can run 3D01 in XP and 3D03 in Vista.

or any other combo that works for you.

i asked and was answered at the Raptor Pit.

You read my mind of what I was thinking about today, well one thing anyway. Sometimes I can think of more than one thing a day! I was wondering if we could do that, thanks for the info...

 

Edit: Read your post over there and the answer, that will work. Sucky Vista....

Tomorrow I am getting a 2x1gb corsair dominator pc10000, can I use this is what I need to know. I no at the start of the war it was said ok for me to use the pc5300 I had, but I'm having problems with it, and I have some issues with the g.skill in the p5e, after a crash I have to boot of a single ddr800 stick then it takes forever to get the 2 sticks of g.skill to boot, so I'm trading it.

Hardware changes are a no go at this stage unfortunately (unless it is like for like). :(

 

You are welcome to take your case over to TRP for confirmation, but you'll get the same answer.

all my scores will have to be final at this point...

my 3870X2 card died this morning.

opening any 3D app caused an instant hard lock up.

it had a good run and will soon be off to Sapphire for a replacement.

Yeah Ray said he has no probs with it, the extra ram speed is negated by other factors like having to use 400 strap I can't run it any higher speed than I was and with the g.skill I was using 4-4-4-8 for benching, doubtfull that will change either.

Knowing Rehit he probably just thrashed it a bit too hard. :D

 

Shame that it died, but great effort on the scores you got in with it, well done and thanks. :thumbs-up:

 

At least you should get a replacement pretty easily, even if you have to wait a while. :(

nothing dripped on it...

the PC is the highest thing in the loop and water runs downhill... :lol:

i just brought it to it's knees.

i am having a blast now with some single 3870 Toxic Edtion action while i wait for my replacement.

i will post some more scores in the benchmark threads.

:thumbs-up:

Just for anyone who missed the last OCF Podcast, you can find it here: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=553971

 

They have a quick discussion with Raymo (but you'll have to skip a long winded discussion about SETI to get to it, starts around 25:10).

I think when Ray says "Overclocking Clubhouse" he is referring to us. :lol:
