I ordered one of these a week ago, I bet it will take 300mhz easy with little bump to the volts, and I have heard rumors they can work at 400. I strongly suspect that all of the non-tilly pentiums are in fact at the .35u process, since it is only these mobile ones that take the 1.9v setting, …

I bought an Asus P3C-E a while back, and just recently order some RIMMs and a 700mhz processor for it. Plan on trying it for my Voodoo 2 SLI and for Windows 98. What makes this board interesting is that is has built in yamaha sound, with good dos compatibility reported and real OPL3.

Sure, every setting inside 3DMark 2001 s.e. was left alone, and therefore it was using all of its default settings. BTW, is your C2D rig "special", in as much as it has a Win98 driver? The motherboard I used for this is an Asrock 775i65g. It indeed does support Windows 98, but I'm not using that. …

I know that another cache level will usually increase latency,but P4 in general will always improve with memory bandwidth. The 3rd level cache will improve that. The other idea was that there are certain optimizations with the newer microarchitecture, however I always though it benefited encoding …

Nice! I have been looking for one of those DFI boards, but it's like they don't exist anymore. At any rate, your result isn't one I would expect either. I figure with the P4 EE perhaps you had hyper threading disabled. The alternative to that, is the benchmark is better with prescott. I would have …

I haven't seem too much about that hybrid AGP/PCI-E board, it is kinda interesting. I'm also using an AsRock, mine is a 775i65g rev 2.0 with an E5800 overclocked to 3.5ghz. This uses the 865 chipset from Intel that was somehow made to take the new Core2 processors. This motherboard's overclocking …

This is how you flex with the 3850. The P4 is certainly a bottleneck.

I think these were used in arcade machines. It does work like you have two card, but I don't think there is a VGA passthrough.

For you motherboard you can get the 3.06 Northwood, it's the max for a 533 bus and they work well. Don't know about running a prescott in there though. Prescott has a longer pipeline which makes branch mis-prediction more costly. This is why may seems to be less powerful clock for clock. It really …

Once you get it working like that you should see if you have issues with the optical drive on the PCI controller as well. If it works it would likely work a lot better.
