Back after a break, 1.6ghz for Genome@home

[Slacker]

I took some time away from DC but I am back with Genome@home, currently using my P4 1.6ghz but hopefully by next week it will be a 1.6@2.5 , the cpu I have now is not a northwood but I have a 1.6a on the way, will the extra cache help genome@home? the 1.6 has 256k and the 1.6a has 512k.

Dang, the bug bit me, I just added my two other systems, total of 2.9ghz now.

Total is now 3.6ghz


I received my 1.6a from googlegear today, it is a malaysia chip, using it right now at 145fsb 2320mhz it wouldnt post at 150 even at 1.7volts , but that may be the motherboard, it is running around 46c at 1.65v , 4114 in 3dmark2001 up from 3500 , very nice scores in sandra, beats all of the comparison systems except the 850chip mem bandwidth test, I have 2175mbps mem bandwidth 850/ddr gets 2450.

I have run 3dmark 2001 many times, and played some heavy Q3, both of those programs are good at crashing unstable overclocks, everything is looking good so far I would have liked to get 150mhz cpu fsb for 2.4ghz and memory at 150 for 300 ddr (I have DDR333 memory) but I am not going to worry about 80mhz on the cpu and 43mhz on the memory.

Is the 1.6a the new DANCING QUEEN I say YES!!
