this thread makes me miss my opty165 build, just retired *sniffles* had the little basterd at 2.9 24/7

Have any old CPU-Zs from it? We can hook you up with the "Nostolgics" section. What happened with the 165? Death or peaceful retirement? If the latter, I can guarantee there will be people here interested in it.

I know DesertRat has the 4870 512 MB and can max out Call of Duty 4 at his native 1920x1080 with good FPS (over 70 at least). I am sure it is not as good in Crysis. The way I look at it, having been burned MANY a time with graphics cards, $50 now will save you months of regret. Just get the 1024 MB.

Thanx guys

1gb it is

In case you guys were wondering......

Ive been moving over the last several days, of course it HAD to be -10*F the whole freakin time

.
Finally over and I got the phone/internet working. The guy who we got the house from didnt hook the wiring up

None too pleased about that one. Had to tear down some drop ceiling tiles, broke 2 in the process

O well at least the house is pretty cool, hardwood floors, jacuzzi bathtub, 2.5 car garage, partially finished basement, all new everything inside. Ahh now finally some rest.

2.75ghz @ 1.475v (275x10)

I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro since Vista64 was giving me problems with my Creative Drivers. Once I had everything set up and it was time to re-overclock, I decided to try to take it a bit further. This is the fastest I could take it and it seems stable. I ran Crysis for about 30mins with no problems, but when I ran Prime95, Core1 had an error whereas Core0 was fine. I'm going to run 3DMark06 and Prime95 again to check for consistency. Lots to think about today...

Jimwest, looks good. Let me know when you have found a stable overclock. I'll make the necessary changes to the roster to reflect your new OC!

Good luck

Yeah, I actually finished the 3dmark06:

Not bad for a 4 year old motherboard.

Prime95 time, wish me luck.

Jimwest, nice score

How much voltage are you pumping into that Manchester? Are the CPU-Z screen shots displaying the correct voltage? Try loosening your memory sub-timings a bit. Try 2.5-3-3-5 2T.

Good luck
