Hmm it should be faster, but its possible there are compatability issues with your board and HD3850AGP

I think it's Hyper Threading's "fault". 100% of programs write today are Multithreaded and Windows like's HT as well. It may "feel" faster, but what "the benchmark's say" ?

Two things: 1. VIA chipset, I'm quite sure nForce4 board (or nForce Pro 2200 as we are talking about s940) would be faster. But of course not period correct. 2. your video card choice. GF7 / Radeon X (and older) are using different driver core, which is optimized for older CPUs - worse multithread …

Interesting... so essentially you think that HD3850 AGP is a little too new for the K8T800 / 940 Platform? I'm gonna swap for that 7900GT and see where I end up.. Should be interesting. I was just hoping to max out this board with a fast AGP card - looks like I bit off more than the system could …

Yes, exactly. GeForce 7 should work better in that system.

The Asus board in your p4 is exceptionally fast. I mentioned this in mu Athlon 3200+ video, you can see this in old reviews. I would use the same gpu and ram as in the p4. Hard to compare otherwise. And in general I also found the ee to be a fantastic gaming cpu, but I don't have 940 gear. Skipping …

Cause it was $25 bux. :) Heh, what has happened to good old Artex, I remember days when I had to overpay for some auctions due to bid wars with you =) Seriously though, this SK8V board was considered THE Socket 940 board to have for the FX-51/53 - at least according to the reviews I've dug up that …

The Athlon 64 does like fast memory timings. I haven't done any extensive testing, but it is mentioned frequently. There are also different steppings. Not sure about the FX, but for the 3200+ there is a newer stepping which lets you set command rate to 1 for a small performance boost. You're right, …

I prefer results like FX-60 @ 3GHz from art... TRUE + Delta @ ~1,7k RPM : LINK BUT maybe that just me 😉

Would be good to have a TSR which allows same by hot-keys. Some games may to have problems only on start or concrete places, while switching off the chache makes the machine too slow sometimes.
