Which is pretty lame.....
Golgatha, 10,500 seems low for X1800XT crossfire, i was able to hit that with a single 7900GT unmodded. And ATi seems to do better in 3dmark05. What drivers are you using? I think it ran below your potential for some reason.
Well we'll see how the X1900 does, single one should hit around 11k.
So a person coming in reading this thread without all the facts might go out, but the retail 920, a $60 motherboard, and get pissed when they don't get the same results.

But I don't think the OP claimed any particular performance advantage. He simply pointed out that he got the chip to 4 ghz. So the "results" that an unsuspecting reader might be confused into expecting would be that same 1.2 ghz. o/c. But that reader wouldn't know anything about o/c-ing, I think you would agree, if they read that and expected they would get the same thing.

Actually, I hear that all the time "well look here..." and "why don't I get what everyone else gets" Check the threads, its like a broken record. Then they think this 4 ghz machine is cool, until they bench against a X2@2500 or better. Stevty has them all, a 920, and 820, an 805. I only have a 805 and 820, and he and I agree, but nobody seems to want to hear it, just brag about 4 ghz.
WHILE I CAN BE HAPPY FOR THE OP FOR HIS 4 GHZ OC, I THINK HE DESERVES TO KNOW ALL THE FACTS.
AND TO THE OP: SORRY IF YOU DON'T LIKE FACTS. I WILL MAKE THIS MY LAST POST IN YOUR THREAD.
