[xenolith]

So are people still getting Toledos at ZZF, or am I too late... again.

 

[overclock]

I'll tell you when mine is delivered today.

Depends on what you do. Dual core are for people who need it and if your a gamer or not a heavy multitasker than they won't help ya much. I would never get a p4 3.6. If i wanted a fast single cpu system i would get a amd 3000+ venice core and overclock it which would beat the p43.6.

This is a hot deal if you own a PC and use antivirus software, or a software firewall, or a software VPN while you game you will see an improvement in performance over a single core system. Benchmark sites bench games on "clean" systems just drivers, and game. On a typical system you have 5-6 little icons in the system tray eating away at processor resources. That's where you'll notice the diference.

I just got mine.... it's CD!!! I ordered early on Tuesday, September 20th and got it delivered today (the 22nd). I am really, really very happy.

I've just installed mine. I can't run 240x10, same as my prior Winchester, but I can run 265x9, same as my prior Winchester. Odd, considering that I have different RAM, Video Card...

AMD Power is telling me that it's 1800...any idea why? If I right click on my computer it tells me 2400

 

[xenolith]

So it seems it's hit or miss in getting a Toledo @ZZF. There's nothing I dislike more than relying on my luck.

Mine just arrived yesterday (shipped Tuesday), got a BV

But such is the nature of OCing, LOL. Gotta love it!

Can anyone point to a guide on OC'ing? I am a complete newb when it comes to this stuff, and I don't understand all the voltage stuff!

 

[inthell]

fyi newegg dropped their X2 price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103562

and dont forget if you buy ram with it you save an extra 30 bucks

If you go to the CPU forum here, there's one at the very very top stickied

EDIT: We are out of Toledos, but are now doing a bundle for a Manchester and a 3.5 Gram tube of AS5 for $354.99.

We've sold to quite a few ATer's, and every one of them got Toledos. You can get answers straight from them if you post a question about it over in CPUs/Processors though; people may not see it here

I got the chip from the tankguys, it is working just dandy right now. Great service!

 

[Earsly]

Great! thanks

darn I was hoping I could tell the guy I bought mine form to send me a CD version

oh well I guess

If I can get at least 2.4ghz Ill be happy

I have yet to hear one person that didn't get passed 2.4. Originally i was kinda like you but i told myself i would be happy if i could hit 2.5

I have an X2 3800+ (Toledo core) on the ASRock board and I can't get past 2.0Ghz and be stable, so now you know of at least one person who can't

I didn't get the chip from ZZF though and I am happy with it at stock speeds

 

[Kamui]

S13, what is your board and what are your settings? Maybe you forgot to lower the LDT multi or something..
