Hate to say it, but Anand's OC articles arent my favs

Ill come back and comment some more in a few after i give it a read

<edit> Excellent read. Exactly what i was looking for. He didnt pull a Sharky and not have pretested CPU's, and he also did a great job with percentages and his always perfect graphs. Truly, i am interested in seeing how far above 133 the PC2100 and 760 can go, but this is a great appetizer for Abit and Asus's solutions that will allow us to do so. Kudos, Anand. </edit>

that was one of the better reads I've had on overclocking..

I'd be better if he compared a Duron 750@1GHz(by using 133MHz) and Duron 750@1GHz(by multiplier).

I second Seph's comment: great article as usual, very clean and accurate with good benchmark selection. But why not include baseline scores for 1 GHz PC133 Athlons and Durons?

Pretty good stuff .

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

I agree Modus. But we did see on average a 15% increase in speed by moving from 100fsb to 133 and using DDR both times. I am impressed, but i suppose if you need PC133 baselines you have to open the first article on DDR that ran the 100 bus.

I was hoping to actually see the overclocking of the 760 chipset. Doh! This was only stuff we already knew with a whole bunch of fluff. I want to see the 760 running on a 150MHz bus.

LXi &amp; AdamK47 - 3DS - it's all coming in due time my sons The reason we didn't do it was because the only 760 board we have right now is the reference one from AMD, which for some odd reason doesn't support multiplier manipulation.

Then the board is going to me (dream) for some extreme supercooling Can we say 160MHz FSB?
