It could be because my laptop is running a C2D, and we all know Socket P can't compete with some better technologies...

680 minutes to go until that magic moment...

Lol, I have no clue what you're talking about. What magic moment?

Just provide a CPUz validation link or screenshot and txtmstrjoe will add you to the roster once he's online! Welcome! And please ignore the random boobteron posts by yours truly......Don't know WHERE I coulda picked that up at

I posted at 22:19 EST. Add to that 680 minutes, and you have 9:39 EST.

Seems my Math Minor is causing confusion again.

Oh, and to handle the AM/PM debate: 9:39 AM. 9:39 PM is also 21:39. 9:39 AM is also 9:39, and so, is 9:39 two different ways. Now, all I need to do is find another 937 ways to write that...

ROFL...now it makes sense! Kinda? I'm not so good at math....stupid ADHD!

Oh, and regards 4 GB of RAM...

I also have been unsuccessful in making 4 x 1 GB post at DDR 400. I have a pair of Corsair XMS 400 and a pair of Corsair XMS 400 Pro. They are almost the identical RAM DIMMs, the only difference is that one has LEDs on the heat spreader.

Anyway, either single pair can post at 434 MHz, and I am sure they can post at higher speeds, I just have not tried yet.

With both pairs in my GA-K8NSC-939, the RAM defaults to 333 MHz. If I get it up to 393 MHz, windows will both boot and run fine as well as clearing OCCT, but Orthos will not stay running. I had them running at 377 MHz without incident though.

Given that I am constantly multitasking, I think I will keep the 4 GB (3.5 GB in XPsp2) at 377 MHz rather than the 2 GB at 434 MHz. When I "upgrade" to Vista, I think I will only have 3.25 GB of RAM available (still a x86 OS) but I am not worried about that. My laptop is running 4 GB (shows as 3 GB) and is running well enough. I also have a 4 GB thumb drive for both to utilize ReadyBoost, but that only helps in loading programs, not in their actual running.

pioneer says I HAVE TO POST in here... im a bit of a nOOb I will admit...but hey, wasnt e1 when they started. He said to let ya'll know that Im the owner of the manny he previously gave proof for, and to ask if one of ya'll could please switch it to my name... so theres my post...

Well thank you for taking my advice considering you sit directly behind me when we're on the interwebz. Yes, txtmstrjoe, SHE has my official permission to steal the Manny @ 2.60GHz OC as it is HER machine. She's the one that put together this computer, and she attempted to overclock it at first. I just kind of helped fine tune it so it was stable

.

Welcome to the 939 Club! I am the official cheerleader here as that's what txtmstrjoe put me as

. Once he's online he'll update the member's list with your CPU. And guys....guess what, Froggy is a GIRL, get used to it, lol. I know, I know....get your cootie shots!!!! Actually I think my cootie shot might be almost due again

? Guess I'll have to check at the GirlsGiveCooties doctor's office tomorrow

. Don't worry....the cootie shot is perfectly painless and it helps when you're sharing the interwebz with a GIRL

. Ok, I'm done being hilariously funny (I know, I failed again!). Have fun overclocking guys and girls. I think I'm off to bed.

Sorry, but guess what???? There's now a girl that has a better overclock than some guys!!!!!

Ok, I'm done. Nite everyone, lol.

If you want some data and you know it...clock your rigs
If you want some data and you know it...clock your rigs
If you want some data and you know it and ya really want to show it...
If you want some data and you know it clock your rigs

Yup you guessed it alright, I bring you pictures... pictures that tell the story of a boy and his dreams. The dream of four gigs and a 939 spot in OC nirvana.

Here is the first installment in my quest to run 4 gigs in a 939 opty system with vista ulti x64 @ DDR400 or greater.

The first in the series is the results of a fresh install @ stock with RAM underclocked. When you look at the Sandra results...it becomes kind of evident just how far AMD has fallen in the performance ranks. But fear not, I would shave my stones and beat them silly before I succumbed and bought a (eeeewwww.....) conroe. Or wolfdale... or Penryn... but please forgive me, that nehalem looks Sex-E.

Anyway some photos to speak volumes:

An all in one photo... to confirm that these are actually all of the same rig, though I cant see why anyone would want to fake results like this....but I do like fake ninjas for the record

This is just to keep Lord Vader happy... I mean you saw how he chumped the admiral.... (you got served.... b#*@^!)

Honestly.... If you gave me a scratch-pad, an abacus and a six pack... I feel certain I could have knocked it our faster... no, really

This is where things get kind of depressing... cause Sandra is a snarky little tart and she like to compare chips that arent even in the same class. Thanks you hussy

Latencies don't look half bad.... right until you notice that all the other results are for DDR2 modules... sweeeeet, now for an encore... I punch myself in the face.

On the plus side... its nice to see the native quad phenom kicking some ass... but then of course, there is a mobile chipset that is equally pawning my rig. Mobile ownage... well thats just....forget it, not worth saying.

Notice the 3dmarks... I feel confident that my rig will pawn most graphing calculators, casio keyboards and the occasional fisher price "my first PC"...also most definitely an etch-a-sketch.

All kidding aside though... the 939, though an older platform, that at stock gets crowned... is one of the better scaling architectures period. I hope to show that with a significant overclock (and hopefully 4gig ram) that this aging system can still mix it up with the new kids on the block (noooo not the tools from the early nineties...but the newest Intel and AMD platforms)

I hope to put all of the pertinent information (discrete timings, score and results) in a spreadsheet for easy comparison. And cause I am anal retentive.

On the mega-plus side, I have been in dialogue with a bunch of guys over at XS who have 939 platforms running 4 gigs at DDR480 and greater. Hopefully they can point me in the right direction.... or at least photochop a great phony success picture.
