3D Mark05 is now to be included guys so when you get your scores in this week, you will need to run 1 extra benchmark.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping I can eat HL2 for lunch with it  The 1T command is must Vampy, it makes a HUGE difference.

Well seeing how my rig is now dead, I guess I should step down as AMD super modified winner. It will be a couple of weeks or more till I either get my chip back from AMD or - gulp - buy a new one.  Thanks for all the support. SIK.
Dipstik and El Kapitano seem to be the next to battle it out. Ill be watching.

Sorry to hear you had to rma SIK but the high scores stand until they are broken. It would not be fair if they didn't, plus it would take all the fun out of it  But AMD is quick with the rma's so you should be back soon

No need to worry SIK, your scores do indeed stand as no-one has beaten you (or even challenged for that matter).
Watch this space as well guys - major changes happening to the competition over the next few weeks.
Paypal me 2 grand and I might let you know what they are.

Did someone mention my pseudonym?
Nah SIK I'm well out of it at the moment. Especially against an FX53.
HOWEVER - I do have a wad burning a hole at the mo' so watch this space.
AND - my X800XT wont go further than 540/570.
Awww Dipstick, that's a sweet overclock you got there, well done man.

Hey guys, I recently had to get myself a cheap replacement cpu and the this 3200+ hit the spot big time. By far the best $180 I have ever spent. Stock is 2GHz even btw

To be honest in everyday stuff and gaming I do not see a difference at all. Of course it is running almost 100MHz slower and lacks the 1MB L2 of the FX but it only really shows in benches. Amazing enough the memory benches edge out my FX even though it was running faster cpu and memory-wise(maybe an improved controller?). Overall a great buy for under $200 and all seem to OC to 2.4GHz with ease. That and the fact that it runs extremely cool even OCed like this is a good reason to save the money and get one of these instead. The FX is not worth the price difference at all!
Edit- I just noticed that I'm running it at 1.45v + 10% which I think gives out 1.55v. I tried 1.55v + 10% and it did nothing for my OC. Must be the cpus limit regardless of voltage or something else holding it back

Hey Gameboy!
GB, here's a post that will make you happy. . .
I BOUGHT MY AVATAR. The "Rambus Rocket" doesn't O/C worth a rat's behind, but I found an X800XT/PE!
MUAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
rasta <- realizes he just foolishly brought attention to himself

Are we gonna have any rule changes once SLI/ dual cards come out, seems to be a new, higher level that we can add/judge, or will we just add those to super modified, etc.

Well, I may be new, but I think I'm the Intel Stock Winner, Sorry Rasta.
The only issue is that I used the 4.11 Drivers that are teh KOTOR hotfix, and they're not WHQL. I can rebench later, if needed.
Shuttle SB83G5
P4 550 (3.6GHz Prescott, HT enabled)
1 GB Geil PC3200
Asus X800XT (PCIe), 256MB
2x Western Digital 74GB Raptor drives in RAID0
7714.33 is the total
3dmark05 - 5399
3dmark03 - 12207
PCmark04 - 5537

one thing that WASNT mentioned in the rules which should have been
the links to futuremarks orb system should be available and active, else its not a valid entry.
personally i find this a bit unfair, especially if your scores look legit, should be reasonably easy to tell if somebody was cheating by the fact their scores are blatantly too high for their system
