Bored on a Friday night

A picture says a thousand words but let me add a few... 43 Internet Explorer windows open, Orthos running full blast, several other programs running in the background and, best of all, Winamp playing Shakira and not even skipping a beat on my 1 gig DDR RAM system. Those hips don't lie and neither does this CPU, lol.

Yeah, finally figured out a way to get it to 50C too! :laugh:

These new Intel Core 2 Duo chips simply rock. :thumbsup:

Overclocked?

A 200 Mhz overclock doesn't even cound as an overclock, with an Intel processor.

edit: Or count.:laugh:

Overclocked roughly 200MHz. My board isn't stable much beyond this point and I wanted to double-check the stability at this level.

These boards aren't the best overclockers but considering I am still running old DDR RAM and an AGP videocard it was a cheap way to get a Conroe under the hood.

Yeah, but you gotta respect 43 IE windows and 84 processes running even un-overclocked... and it didn't lock up or crash. I am still on the same boot. Did I mention Winamp didn't skip a beat?

43 IE windows? Is that it? Pfft. Try 380 command line windows. Just make a batch file to repeatedly open them. That's torture. And then get your system usable after the major swapping. See how fast that Core Duo can open task manager with all those windows. Use up that swap file.

I have a better idea actually. Run 10 OSes at once in VMware server.

It's actually a great test of stability. I tried CPU Burn In and it passed for quite a while. Once I opened my second IE window it had a memory error. Just some food for thought.

Actually you're bored on an early Saturday morning.

actually w/ that board you should be able to get closer to 300 fsb and still be stable
