Got that right. Tired of being the captain of the sidelines and watching everybody score. Been almost a year since I left the benching scene. Have a feeling I'll be picking up one of Vince's new pots within the month. Plan on doing some extensive 2D benching soon as 3D gets to be too expensive.



Question, why are you guys running with 6GB of RAM on a 32bit OS? I mean I've read guys say you get better runs but is there in factual evidence behind this or would you be better off pulling out a stick?

Update for post #7 - http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...2804#post52804 (That should be second place if my pencil is sharp)

I have XP 64 bit version but not the tiny version. Dunno if it exists. Punx swore by XP 64 bit being better in SuperPi awhile back.

Ya 3D isn't cheap and I think 2d if more fun. :) Glad to have you back buddy. I told Kal you were real close to getting back at it. You just had to get a couple "cased" builds under your belt first.

Because the 2GB density modules have been shown to be more efficient than 1GB modules. Plus triple channel is faster than dual. Doesn't really matter once you use maxmem anyways.

You going to get in on some of this action Chuchnit? I tried with my AMDer but it blows balls when it comes to benching against Intel. I just pray this RAM gets here by Saturday as I will be out of town Sunday and Monday for the holiday. Want to get at least a good run or two in. Otherwise it will all have to wait until Tuesday!!!

Ya I'm competing, but just got to find the time. I'll have something up this week.

rickss69 09-01-2010 04:39 AM

Going to try the retail XP 64 PRO and will let you know the difference between Tiny XP. Making minor nudges now...no major moves.
