Earlier today, after work and I cashed in my paycheck to be more exact, I bought an AMD Athlon64 2800 and an GigaByte GA-K8NS Pro.
After fiddling around and running between systems, to burn drivers because the mobo cd was trash (Wouldnt read in ANY system I put it in), I am now OC'ing it.
So far I have it at 216 from 200 FSB. My memory seems to be stable at 352MHz (333MHz stock), which is something my old ABit NFS2 board couldn't do.
So far I am pleased with some of the benchmarks I am getting. Here's a few:
CPU: 1.94GHz
Mobo HTT: 2X 864MHz (1728MHz data rate)
CPU HTT: 2x 864MHz (1728MHz data rate)
Memory Bus Speed : 2x 176MHz (352MHz data rate)
SiS Sandra CPU:
Dhrystone ALU : 8943MIPS
Whetstone FPU : 3048MFLOPS
Whetstone iSSE2 : 4005MFLOPS
SiS Sandra Memory:
RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 : 2695MB/s
RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2 : 2697MB/s
Next pay check I'm gonna invest in getting another PC3200 of 256MB so I can finally use that one I bought a few months ago and get rid of another bottleneck.
