Hi all,

Is there much of a difference between the 3000+ and the 3500+? Looking mainly at gaming.

Thanks
Paul

Oh and why does my motherboard says its locked @ 9x multiplier... is this true? Its an ASrock 939S56M

it is a venice core. I have Geil Golden Dragon PC3500 ram. Is that any good?

What board would you recommend for me? I know someone who has the MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 for sale. Is that any good?

Could a passing don move this to overclocking please

Multipler is locked on all standard Athlon 64s. Only FXs have unlocked multiplier.

Try running superpi in a loop and prime95.

Thats not a great board for overclocking by the way, or even in general..

Run them at the same time or separately?

Thats how its currently running. Just been playing BF2 and it seems fine. Should I prime and superpi it now, or up it a bit more?

 

[A[L]C]

Up it some more, most Venice cores should be going to 2.4-2.6 on stock volts.

one thing, cpu-z is showing the voltage as 1.37...isnt that low?
