Looks like its a question of 1T vs 2T here....same MHz/timings, 1Tvs 2T made 99% of the difference. 800MHz 3-3-3-8 2t ---->10:10/% only a modest gain from 4-4-4-12.

I've still got tons of BIOS memory settings to test.... the Maximus has the most detailed BIOS I've played with.

Any way I can convince you to throw -forceasm and -advmethods flags on the next distro?

Ya i already edited the program using both those flags phelan is testing the script now to make sure it works right.

WU's are at 72% and 73%. I'm at 3.4ghz and ram is at 4-4-4-12 @ 945mhz. I'm averaging 11minutes per %. I may try 3-3-3-8/9 tonight and may down clock the ram to 800mhz to see if it will push those timings and see if it makes any difference.

Good luck getting CAS3....What's the max volts for your G.Skill? I had to go from 2.12V to 2.26V (2.34 after "droop") to go from CAS4--->CAS3

I am getting 10.26 mins per % running 2 SMPs with 1000KB assigned to each SMP for my main rig.

I decided to give this setup a try and I have a problem. Vmware installed fine, but I can't get to the login screen. I don't get the security error or anything. I tried with IE and firefox to no luck. Any ideas?

If you have a pop-up blocker or anti-virus program make sure it isn't stopping it from working. Let me know if that resolved it.

It's a fresh vista install, so I didn't install any firwalls or anything. I also tried to diable the built in windows stuff, but that had no change. Can I run arch on the regular VMware?

PhelanJKell · 03-06-08

Bal3Wolf an I are in the process of configuring another distro, ubuntu this time. It will be almost identical to the way ARCH is right now. With some testing in the next few days. We will let you know. This is for people who are experiencing 'INTERRUPTED' issues, such as myself. If ARCH is working flawlessly, then it is up to you to try this new distro he is editing.

We will keep you informed in the next few days. I will update the Guide/Walkthrough as needed. Thanks for all your help so far and feedback!

SumOn3, you can run it on a higher version of VMware, not ver 1.0 though. Oh one thing if your using Vista make sure you disable UAB or something has to do with user accounts.

im running into the 'interupted' issues alot, keep us updated on the ubuntu distro!
