who with a AMD Athlon 3000+ has this score for Vista

[Ace Modder]

Hi

I have just installed Vista, Aero works with the exception of the 3D task flip Alt + TAb thingy.

MY CPU is only scoring 3.8 in the system rating

Should I be getting that low a score?

ah., windows tab....thanks!

also my mate with the same CPU, but sck 754, runs at stock 2.0Ghz and gets 4.2

Why did the same CPU but different pins give different ratings? Esp as my skt 939 is newer tech that his skt 754

yes my skt 939 Athlon 64 3000+ run at 1.8Ghz

but my mates skt 754 Athlon 754 3000+ runs at 2.0Ghz?

isn't 939 the better tech?

I know AMD's don't run on the clock mhz speed for the comparisions, but my CPU is getting a 3.8 score in Vista, whilst my mates getting 4.2 on his?

if so, thats a crap, none true indication of ** CPU rating!

I'm just surprised, and my mobo is not allowing my CPU to be o/c.

I have a Asrock 939-SATA2 mobo (yes that is the model number)

and i increased my multiplier to 10, from 9. and when I reboot its defaulting back to 9.

So would that be the mobo doing that? or the CPU possibly being locked?
