You ever get so curious that you go out and buy stuff just to see ?

OK, I've got 3 great systems and a kick butt laptop. So, why did I just buy;

DFI NFII ULTRA INFINITY Motherboard
1 GIG Kingston HyperX 3700 memory
MOBLE AMD 2600+
Thermaltake SLK-948U
Case, Powersupply, Lite-On Combo CD-R/RW/DVD

Earlier in the week I bought a Radeon 9800 Pro (oem)

The only saving grace is that I bought it at NewEgg.

Actually I should probably show some restraint every once in a while.

Actually I am quite happy with my current setups, but I'm just itching to see if I can get the Mobile barton real high.

Hey, as long as its folding for team 78 you go buy as much as you want.

Post back with your results. I'm curious as to what that Kingston stuff can do.

I have yet to put it together. My company has been moving the last few days, and I haven't been getting in till well past 2:00 am. Hopefully sometime this week I can get to it.

I got it put together Saturday. The highest I've gone so far is 11x210. Not very good considering my Barton 2500+ does similalry well.

I went back and read that you were putting 1.8v thru it. What are you using to cool it ?

SLK800 w/ Mechatronics 80mm 53cfm fan. I'm at 1.8v - 1.82v on the cpu. Fluctuates according to MBM 5.3.x.x

What BIOS are you using? I'm using the Oskar Wu 1/21/04 BIOS ( beta ). Get them here but be sure to read the disclaimers.

My ram timings are 8-3-3-2-2cas as you read down from the top of ADV chipset page in the BIOS w/ CPC ( command per clock ) disabled.

I think I'm using the last bios available. for cooling i'm using an Alpha 8045.

Maybe I will check that bios out.

My board shipped with the official release 11/27/03 BIOS and it was next to worthless. If you want to really get that thing cranked up, you'll probably want to try that beta BIOS.

haha....... because like me, U are "addicted........"
