BTW, I have found that lowering the multiplier and raising the fsb does increase bandwidth however I loose some processing power resulting in slightly (very small) loss in 3dmark2001se. Almost identical but just a shade less. Ram settings for the above were as follows. 2-4way-2-5-2-8-4-1-0-0-e-e. Much higher fsb can be attained (i.e. 192) at over 2601 (as tested by sisoft) on the samsung while (strangely) the crucial at 191 will score 2650 (3.2v). Though I presently test 3dmark2001 at 174x10 and have broken 10,100, I do feel that the best on this processor (xp1600) would be achieved at 182x9.5 as this would give me very strong ram timings while still making the processor work out hard. Make sense? I am not sure it does to me. My 'gut' feeling is this would be the "sweet spot" and would produce the absolute maximum results on this chip at 1.73 to 1.74. Unfortunately the chip needs to have the unlock redone and I am moving so it is on delay for now. Top score should be in the neighborhood of 10,200. Now a processor running at 1.95 to 2.0 should allow it to give most STOCK ti4600s a run for it. Really need to get one of those xp1900's.
