This is good for AMD even though it is a synthetic benchmark. The ORB is high profile. Hopefully the A64 will boost their sales and help them too eliminate most if not all of that 1.7 Billion dollar debt. Even us Intel Fanboys understand that AMD needs to stay competitive (and out of the...

It will be nice if AMD can take over the performance lead. More people would be willing to purchase it's middle and upper priced processors if AMD was perceived as the performance leader. Then AMD could shake off all of you so called fans (cheapskates)who think that buying a piddling $46.00...

It also has sata raid off the southbridge. Two Maxtor 120 Gig (240 total)sata 8MB cache drives in raid 0 for $120.00 each. That would be a good start. ;)

Here's one for ya. Sata raid directly off the southbridge controller. Dual channel DDR, 4 GB max. It's expensive though for around $300.00 and four 1 GB sticks of PC2700 (about $140.00 each) plus the cost of your choice of 533 Mhz Zeon CPU(s). But, it's available now. ;) Asus PC-DL

I've gotten really spoiled on having at 1Gig RAM as I see quite a difference when running apps like Adobe Photoshop, which is a real memory hog. When I went from 512MB to 1Gig I saw a big reduction in load/save time. It's pretty expensive to run in dual channel since you basically have to have...

I'm glad I bought the 2.4C. It's at 3.45 Ghz, 1.6 Vcore, 287 FSB (1148 QDR), 100% stable and it was cheap. With better cooling It would go even higher. To the contrary of what most have said, I like the fact that it stresses the memory and FSB. If my memory can't hack it I want to know...

Got my vote.

And, by the way....nice system.

Oldfart! Congrats, man! I see you finally found something worth putting your hard earned money into.

Anandtech has a nice technology overview of the N-force2 Anandtech

I have a 2.4C on a P4C800. It's running 100% stable at 280 FSB at 1.525 Vcore (overvolts to 1.565 vcore). My memory is Corsair PC3500 and running at 5:4(DC DDR 448) 2,3,2,7 1.85 Vdimm. Cas 2 is it. It refuses to work at Cas 2.5. So, don't assume that higher latencies are the answer. For...

Get a P4C 2.4 Ghz processor with a 12x multiplier and you're good to go on this board.

I see. So, it's more than just a processor limitation. I noticed a few people in other forums who have 533 Mhz processors that could go to as high as 190 Mhz on an Abit IT7 board. But, that same processor can only do around 160 or so on the P4C800.

Well, this is why Intel lowered the multipliers on their processors to get them to 800 Mhz. The P4Cs are basically lower multiplier 533's. It's no great secret that the Northwood yields are approaching the end of their life cycle. Since AMD isn't posing much of a threat right now, Intel can...
