Heres my system and then some of my thoughts ....E me if ure interested in similar equipment etc peeps
This will score about 12,850 at 3DMark 2001 SE and are the settings i use for my UT2K3 raggin'
My System :
XP2200 (stable to 1940mhz POST's up to about 1980mhz)
Global Win FSP82 sink/fan (Alloy but cool and quiet and cheap if case is at 42 DegC then CPU will be at about 65 DegC)
cheap 300 watt PSU (replaced with 420 watt soon but no problems)
GIGABYTE GA-7VAXP Mainboard Revision 1.0(?)
512mb Corsair Platignum (will run at 400mhz @ Cl2/2/5/2 cmd1)
GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (250/513mhz default @ 315/571mhz)
Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard and 5300 speakers (Good stuff nice sound surprisingly tight Bass and cheap)
Eicon DIVA V2 Passive ISDN card (OK)
2 X Maxtor ATA133 40 Gig drives (Good but Barracuda ATA100's might be faster)
2 X 6.5 Gig ATA33's
19" Proview monitor (some distortion but cheap)
Haupage Win TV PCI card (mmmm)
i-Art EYE3D 4in1 Stereoscopic glasses (WAYHAY Good)
M$N Wireless Intellimouse Explorer (AVOID typical M$N Shite)
Liteon 40x32x12 CD-RW (Good)
XP2200 1800mhz Unlocked 13.5x133mhz @ 10x190mhz ,CPU will only manage about 1930mhz stably. VCore @ +10%
Available BIOS's F4/5/6/7/9 - F7 BIOS is quickest with memory and most willing to boot when overclocked .
Corsair Platignum DDR400 Cl2/2/5/2 cmd1 all settings at maximum 'Command and Performance' settings at Ultra and enabled respectively.
The quality of the operating system install seems to make a difference , If I try to overclock to aggresively the system may refuse to boot and then only boot with the fsb at 170 (and complain of missing window files etc)instead of its usual 190 yet if i do a reformat it will be perfectly willing to run at 190 all day again - so dont push to hard less you ready fur A BIG FIDDLE;O)
Doesnt mind booting off RAID 1 or 0 or normal IDE 0
Needs to be switched off after adjusting the BIOS or when Windows has to restart pressing the reset button wont always do it .
OH Hallelujah my first ever POST...
