i thought they did...

oh well!

wow, dual channel running ddr500..

 

[Chumpman]

shimm ... how could you!! You were the driving force behind my aspirations to hit 2.5 GHz with an AMD chip.

Oh well, enjoy your new p4. :beer:

i guess the prospect of 1000 Mhz FSB was too tempting

1000 mhz... 4 digits... compared to my measely ddr418 argh...

 

[Chumpman]

ahh, I guess so

I think its more the fact that AMD hasn't really come out with anything lately and the 1700+ is still the CPU to play with.There is nothing wrong with that.Its just been a little boring on the AMD front lately.Intel has been getting these new mobo's and CPU's that overclock real well and all them overclock very good 2.4C,2.6C,2.8C and the 3.0C.Plus these chips with hyperthreading run certain programs and encoding extremely fast compared to the B chips.Someone ran some tests in encoding and the times were drastic.eva2000 did this test.Hope he don't mind me posting this.The 800 chip was running faster but the times are remarkable.

Been playing with my 2.8C cpu @3262mhz with pc3700 gold ram at default 233mhz 2-3-3-7 at 2.75v and HT and speed really helps speed things up

Test #1

I took four 1.5hr mpeg2 video captured shows (640x480 @9500kbps), equalling nearly 20GB of mpeg2 files and copied them over to 2 pcs. Then I used dvdx 2.2 to convert the mpeg2 video to SVCD

PC1
P4 2.4B@2405mhz
P4G8X
4x 512MB XMS3200C2@133mhz 2.5-3-3-7
128MB Gigabyte Radeon II 9000PRO@default
4x 80GB WD 800JB (2 drives in Raid 0 on Rocketraid404 crontroller for OS)
1x 120GB WD 1200JB
Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Deluxe
550W Antec PSU

PC2
P4 2.8C@3262mhz
Albatron PX865PE PRO2
2x 256MB OCZ PC3700Gold@233mhz 2-3-3-7
128MB Xmicro GF4 Ti4200 VIVO@default
2x 120GB WD 1200JB raid 0 on onboard Promise raid controller
1x 80GB WD 800JB
520W Topower PSU

Time taken for each 1.5hr mpeg2 file to convert to SVCD
PC1 = 2hrs 25mins * 4 = 9hrs 40mins
PC2 = 1hr 18mins * 4 = 5hrs 12mins

Test #2

I captured the whole MTV2003 awards in mpeg2 video using Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Deluxe with

720x576
Mpeg2-codec
Mpeg1 audio
Video quality 1000
Video quality data rate 8500kbps

the resulting file was 10.9GB in size (7.6GB was mtv2003 and over recorded the rest) and made a copy of it to the other pc and fed both mpg files through dvd2avi and TMPGenc 2.513 (which is HT supported) to convert to a DVD-R file with motion search set to highest quality, noise and ghost filtering enabled

Time to completion of conversion:

PC1 = ~57+hrs
PC2 = ~27.5hrs

what a time saver!

Just to start up a conspiracy theory to make you worry about the new OCZ PC4000 512MB modules:
When examining all of the OCZ memory available to make my purchase, I noted that in the "Gold" department they have only 2x256MB and 4x256MB(for their 1GB kit). No 512MB modules of Gold have been produced. This makes me suspicious that they're having stability problems with the 512MB modules running at Gold speeds. I guess I'll find out, since I ended up ordering 2X512MB of their PC3200 EL Platinum edition. I have a faint hope of reaching DDR500.

Last Ride are your running 1:1 or 5/4 divider? [EDIT] nevermind!


i was planning on getting the 2.8 C as well. Can the chip go higher w/ a divider in place?

hey... no more AMD for me buddy...

i've switched...

just waiting for the new ic7 max 3 to come out and i'm switching over to intel...


so yeah it'll be more like... 12 x 280 or higher with a 5:4 divider

but it wouldn't hurt to run pc4000 ram @ 224 with 2-2-2-6 timings

Better watch, at the bottom of that link it says OCZ may only run 2.5/4/47 or whatever it was reguardless of the frequency...

Thats someone elses rig.eva2000.I have a 2.4C at 3.4GHz at 5:4 450 DDR.I can go higher but the IC7 won't let me go past 282-283 FSB and thats at 1.55 vcore.

ya that sucks usually they go higher with more volts but thats already running at a high voltage to begin with
