My question is related to the ngohq article ASUS A8N-SLI Bios Mod. Has someone here done this? I want to ask if by doing this BIOS mod the maximum core voltage that can be aplied to an Athlon 64 X2 E6 can reach the 1.65Volts (supported by the A8N-SLI Premium) or does it remain to 1.55 Volts of...

I did not know that there was a seperate thread created by the authors of laptoplogic concerning their Turion and THGs article and started my own thread pointing to THGs seriously flawed Doom3 results: SERIOUS FLAWS in THGs Turion 64 Inside Story pt2

I've addressed the contact form message to one of the authors of the article, hoping that someone will answer this time. Further proof of something seriously wrong with the Doom3 benchmarks is that my machine scored 40FPS in 1024x768 HQ nearly the same as the MSI almost identically configured...

Still no answer ftom THG. How does someone know that they even got/read the e-mail? Actually it was a contact form i filled in and sent them my findings, I don't know perhaps I should have adressed the form to the author of the article.

Well I did, that's how I found out the descrepancies... I've been following both anand and thg among many other hardware sites for more than 5 years now and even longer (but I am starting to forget) so I guess I am no newbie and as I've found hidden treasures buried here and there you should...

thx Alaa. Seems that we must wait for a wider availiability of Turion platforms, but THG like articles could damage the reputation of an otherwise excellent product... I am very happy with my ACER 5024 (except maybe with the TFT LCD coating method: too many reflections and narrow angles for my...

I think they leveled both the gpu/mem freqs by ocing the msi notebook gpu. I am also amazed how can such an obvious mistake/inconsistency go unnoticed all this time. I e-mailed THG with my findings but no response came from them. I also e-mailed anand with the whole issue asking for a more...

The issue here is not about achieving 100% statistically correct benchmarking results, including different samples, batches etc. since the cost, the time, the effort and even the significance of the improvement will not be worthwhile. But to investigate the performance of a platform eg Turion...

My intention was not to bash THG, but to show that there is no "real world" thorough performance comparative analysis between Turion and Centrino. There are other articles over at THG that are quite informative, so there is no point to level everything. EG The fact that I do not agree with...

I agree that is why I insist there should be a comparison between the best -or even better with a lot- of similar configurations of turion and centrino. THG tried for example to level the GPU freqs which is correct, the problem is they should have brought many -not just one- Turion laptops...

I agree that the X2 versus P4 XE stress test conclusions were completeley misguiding and much of that test methodology -especially the usage scenario modelling- was very flawed. But the Centrino vs Turion comparison seems to be ill covered by all hardware sites so far...

I post this message because there seems to be GIGANTIC confusion regarding the real performance and battery usage levels of the AMD Turion vs the Centrino platform. In THGs article the MSI M635 model (Turion MT34 1.8Ghz 1MB Cache, ATI RX480M/SB400 m/b chipset, ATI X700 128MB) scores ONLY 43FPS...

Which version of CPU-Z are u using? Use the latest 1.26 To be certain that your CPU freq is rising, use a benchmark Did you find the ratio corresponding to each DDRXXX? Post them please.

DRAM Clock Mode Use this field to configure the clock frequency of the installed DRAM. Settings: [By SPD], [Manual]. Memclock Value (Mhz) When it is set to [Manual] in ?DRAM Clock Mode?, user can place an artificial memory clock limit on the system. Please note that memory is prevented...

1.6 volt is a lot if you do not have excellent cooling. Check your temps, not only during idle, but during prime95, try to keep below 65C
