dippy_skoodlez>> The stepping that you see the program show is not the one that is on the chip itself. if we have pretty much same results shown by the program doesn't mean u have the same CPU, u could have a JIUHB or anything else.
If you want to find out ur CPU stepping u have to remove the heatsink and read (also copy to a paper) what it says on that black label.
Brunt>> Yep that's pretty much what it is, it calculates based on a very simplistic formula I found to calculate the PR. the PR will not really apply if u have a faster/slower FSB than default of that specific chip. The PR is calculated by the CPU speed alone not FSB or anything else...
Yes is the answer for the first question, and no for the second, the PR rating is just something to tell you what is ur estimated speed compared to a P4, its far from being accurate when heavily OCed, you shouldn't lower the FSB as it will only make ur performance worse.
I just added the PR rating for the factor the overclockers should really ignore it when they have their FSB heavily OCed, as the proggy looses its "accurateness" as higher FSB (in AMDland) means higher PR even at a given clock speed.
Well I just unzipped it into a directory and created a shortcut to the exe again except this time I'm using ws2k3 in stead of XPpro. Still just works fine right out of the box.
a question TC, is this program entirely in C/C++ or does it also have some assembly(I know steppings can be found sort of quickly using assembly)? Also, you mention a driver, so did you make your own driver so that you have actual access to the hardware?
