Woot!! Santa left me a Barton :)

[JimMc]

Did a little upgrade to one of my boxes, a Barton 2500 and a Shuttle AN35 Ultra 400. You talk about bang for the buck, I zipped the Barton to a 200Mhz fsb on first boot (optomistic, huh?), none of that burn-in crap for me, no problems at all. I'm using the stock HS/F and left over Cricial 3200 DDR, so the parts only cost me about $150. You talk about bang for the buck, that Barton absolutely flies - fresh WinXP probably helped a lot. The Shuttle board is pretty decent for the $$ if you're not looking for SATA Raid and such. Just wish the VDimm didn't top out at 2.7.

So far, it is averaging 2:10 minutes per WU, not quite P4 3200 HT times, perhaps I need to scrounge up some faster RAM...

WTG! awesome deal man, and yes the barton rocks for the price

 

[BlackMountainCow]

I got the same mobo and CPU right next to me, just waiting for the damn PSU to ship

 

[Soggysocks]

Glad to see someone can make Shuttle boards workgood. I have done 2. The first was a stuggle....after 2 weeks finally got the thing working right. 2nd one is still sitting......... 7 months later. Can't seem to get it up and running right.

 

[superHARD]

Dual channel helps too.

 

[Ketteringo]

Awesome! I absolutely LOVE my barton! 2500+ OCed to 3200+ with no problems at all. Solid as a rock, and has been for going on 6 months now

Nice, really nice.....
I wish I have Barton, but I have only my old Athlon 1GHz

 

[osage]

yes the AN35 and a Barton make a real nice combo, great performance for the money.

Soggysocks, send that Shuttle to me and let me see if I can get it going for you. yes I'm serious. I have had nothing but good luck with Shuttle boards going all the way back to KT133 boards

Hmm..... my Shuttle board has been perfect.

BTW If you are running 3200+ speeds, I might suggest bumping the vcore to 1.75 if you haven't already. I turned some real crappy WU's (unusable) in F@H until the bump.

possibly bad boards? I've built a few hundred systems running various shuttle boards, with the few bad boards they have all run perfectly stable.

I have my Tbred clocked at 2.09 (2600+ speed now), and I only needed to up the Vcore from 1.50 to 1.53. Make sure it's stable when you OC and it's set. If it's rock solid, then it's all good
Oh ya, nice times!

 

[lobadobadingdong]

wow, just noticed how much you oc'd it, I'm limited by my speeze big rock silent cooler, 2500+ @2800+, 53C, 1.725Vcore before it got stable.

 

[gistech1978]

thank you santa!
you must have been good.

Good times. My Barton 3200+ with 512MB Corsair XMS PC3200 on an A7N8X-X gets about 3:10.

Are you using the CLI version of the client?
My 2500+ @ 3200+ does wu's at an average of 2:30 even though it is used pretty heavily during the day
