Naffa's Theory on why this thread is BS
Now I noticed this earlier... But didn't feel I should post, but now I do.
Look at this picture..
The two cards there look, to me, to be nVIDIAs. Possibly 7900GTX cards. Now as far as I'm aware there isn't SLI support for Conroe and won't be for a number of months. So logically.. If 3DMark05/06 is running on that PC then that can't be a Conroe in there... Right?

i am not 100% but i think its possible with hacked drivers ?
Actually, there are hacked drivers that will get SLI working on that board.. and its very obviously a BadAxe mobo from the heatsinks. It probably is a Conroe under there somewhere, but then that's not the issue really - plenty of people have got Conroes now, and they've been pretty much freely available to buy if you had deep enough pockets for a good month or more.
Funnily enough Pete himself even said on the XS forums (maybe a freudian slip) that he paid £485 for an ES chip, which somewhat contradicts the statement made earlier about getting them, and I quote, "cheap if not free", and having 10+ that he'd "all sold to people". But that's the crux of the issue really - he talks a big game but at the end of the day he has to hand over a big wedge of cash to someone who actually is in close with an Intel source.

SLI is enabled in software as far as I know, theres no hardware element to it (besides the cards obviouslynaffa said:

yes I've seen on other forums that boardy has intel sli drivers (and incedentally won't share them a-la properly connected people under NDA's).. the biggest thing here is there's no picture of...
Mr Drazic..
Basically what's happening here is Drazic owns some components, congratumalations.. If someone else is clocking them for you then there's really no point bragging about it.
Go toe to toe with kesnel, mr mister, welshtom, marvt74 (rip), weescott etc and all the other talented clockers on here (even me on a good day
) and don't just acquire goods for construction and clocking by someone else and maybe get back a sliver of respect.
Otherwise leave it for the magazines or the people who've actually done the work.

Getting kudos, even if only for a short period, is like a drug to him though. In fact, he's a attention junkie. How else is he gonna get his fix unless he gets someone actually competent to overclock bits for him?matt100 said:yes I've seen on other forums that boardy has intel sli drivers (and incedentally won't share them a-la properly connected people under NDA's).. the biggest thing here is there's no picture of...

Iraklis F.C. said:i have never seen a newer intel stepping that clockz worse than the previous , only AMD does this (newcastle-winchester)
if its true , then i will switch back to cyrix
Ah, memory lane. My old Cyrix running Windows 95 and the little trip down to the bottom of the garden with my spade to give 'em two a sound thrashing for all the emotional pain they caused...
Pete (Drazic) your full of cr@p, is this the es you been waiting for weeks on end that finally arrived. Incidently has your camera arrived from RMA now? 
As your "ex" works in intel lol, why do you need to buy from other members?
(apparantly he couldnt post any screenies on XS & EP as his camera was on rma)

The way Pete started a thread publicly accusing FreeCableGuy on XS forums of not sending him his E6700 was typical behaviour
. Hope the XS users dont think us brits are all like himHe was also boasting he had the chip on here weeks before.
Erm he didnt send it for anthour two weeks so i got a refund on it. USPS have tracking, aint hard to get a number to get an idea where it is. The fact he was not replying to pm's, e-mails, msn, oh and then i ended up calling him at his work. Told him i was not happy etc etc waitied over two weeks for it be send so he refuneded me. If you go out of contact i think a publicly know contact of him having my money and not doing anyhting counts. Oh and black listing on his name.
Duh it happens here. DR Bob is one of them!
My Canon had died so as it's still in the 6 years warranty (Canon emplyoes get extened cover even though i no longer work them) it went off on a repalcemnt job. Got it back but an upgreaded model a smine i had is no longer made.
Bordy has the benches like i keep tell you, want me to tatto it in your forhead??
Tell you what i'll leave this topic, wait for Bordy to return form when his and i hate to say this but i think it's the only was to get you to see it, passing away grandad. Once he's back i'll get the stuiff off him for you.
Oh by the way being racist i think is part of the rules. She might be Oriental but don't take the mic. We been in touch form when we broke up at 16 when she moved back home. Thats it nowt more. I'm now praticly a married man and i don;t think my littlen wants to up root and what not

So let me get this straight - you had 10 Conroes from your Intel contact and you, quote, "sold them all, directly 10 i had and all went for £485 each", then told everyone you "get them cheap if not free and get to test them".....and yet despite all this you ended up giving FCG a load of money for one, like every other Tom, Dick and Harry who hasn't got any inside source at Intel.
I haven't paraphrased you, those quotes are from the horses mouth from this very thread. You've contradicted yourself on so many occasions it's almost a parody, though I'm sure you don't even realise when you've done it (classic case of "tell enough lies and sooner or later you forget which ones you've told to which people")
And recently you've been asking for help on XS to sort an RMA on an Intel Badaxe board that by your own admission you modded (and messed up).
Nothing you ever say adds up, it's all half-truths and aspirations wrapped in embellishments or blatently incorrect information that you've gleaned from skimming the threads on XS, re-posting it on here and passing it off as if you're the author presumably to try and garner some respect.
Do I need to bring up the incident where you posted the "omg first conroe pics" that you claimed to be yours, which just so happened to be boardys? (i.e. nothing to do with you whatsoever)..... you remember what happened to that thread I'm sure....
Just stop posting this crap pretending to be someone you aren't. You aren't a tech insider, you haven't got any meaningful contacts in the industry. The more you post this sort of drivel the lower everyones opinion of you will sink - your name is already mud on XS, and from what I gather you've been suspended on here for talking utter crap. Maybe you didn't learn your lesson the first time around.
