[TuffGuy]

[networkman]

Cool!

 

[Crazee]

Right now about 33-36.

 

[toft-dk]

That's cool Tuffguy

 

[IsOs]

That's GREAT!

 

[TuffGuy]

<< Right now about 33-36. >>


heh. i might be able to challenge you in the race to 2000 if i'm not already too far behind.

 

[Crazee]

Your upgrades should make you a worthy challenger Of course that is assuming that I am going to sit back and not improve my production

 

[Smoke]

Sounds like you are having fun.

 

[Sukhoi]

I can't wait until I get my new computer this summer!

 

[Assimilator1]

[Assimilator1]

[TuffGuy]

<< Excellent news Tuffguy

heh. that might take a while, seeing how you're 4000 WUs ahead of me. xmas maybe?

 

[zaph]

Any plans on liquidating your old mobo?

Any one call dibs yet?

 

[Poof]

Yeah Sukhoi! What Assim1 said!!

heh. it's going into the new rig i'm building for work, and i'm jacking that 8K3A instead.

 

[zaph]

LOl
smooth

 

[Sukhoi]

These are rough estimates since I'll be getting it in June.

Cheapest Thoroughbred (2200+?)
512 MB DDR RAM
80 GB HDD
GeForce4 Ti 4200 (well, whatever is 1 model under the highest)

I dunno anything else about it.

 

[Fingers]

I've herad that they will be making 2000+ Thoroughbred models. I would get a mobo capable of supporting ddr333 or ddr400 if via will release the chipset by then. By that time get some kingmax ddr400 moduals that should be available by then and overclock the heck out of that thing.

 

[TuffGuy]

it's here!!!

for comparison, at 9x160mhz and 8-8-6-2-2-2-2, my memory scores are 2070/1920 on the 8K7A. see you in a few hours.

I got a bad 8K3A, so I returned the mobo but I kept the stick of RAM. So here are my updated scores on the 8K7A:

Crucial PC2100 - 9x160mhz and 8-8-6-2-2-2-2, memory scores are 2070/1920
Corsair PC2700 - 8x180mhz and 8-8-7-2-2-2-2, memory scores are 2321/2118
