Wow…..just……wow. Nice over-clocking.

You must have a lot of old motherboards around there! 😉
Bet it runs faster than anything you have had before. Can you feel the difference?

I didn’t change the motherboard, just the CPU.
It does run a lot faster then anything I’ve used before. I was able to do Super PI 1M in less than 30 seconds.

And how long did Super PI 1M take on your 805, and on earlier computers?
I understand that this benchmark is single threaded, so it doesn’t take good advantage of the dual core. Is this true? You’d do even better with a multi-threaded benchmark.

I checked my 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 system. 65 seconds. So yours is more than twice as fast.

On my 805 OCd to 3.5 it took 45 seconds.

Ok, so how does one go about doing this beautiful Over-Clocking? And where do I find the info like that, Don?
Comment by Eric — Monday December 11, 2006 @ 7:09 pm
Start with Google and put in “overclock”, “extreme overclock”, “overclocking”, that sort of stuff.
One thing to keep in mind is your mileage will probably vary.

Eric, I see your problem immediately. It’s that AMD processor! 😉

Donna: At some point you’re going to have to realize you don’t work for Intel anymore. 😉
The chip might overclock to 1800 if you’re lucky. You can find OC settings in the BIOS. Your main concern is heat and damaging the chip.

As long as I still have so much of my net worth tied there, I’ll be rooting them on! Buy Intel. Buy Intel!
