Well I installed Win 98 SE on 32GB partition on ~1,67TB size of actual 4TB drive... so yeah :) I kinda cheated tho since I did use PCI SATA controller, but still - it worked fine ;) YT video of it for anyone interested : LINK And yes I know it's possible to do 32GB+ partitions, I just wanted to …

btw. Your crazy OC'd Celeron D scored better than my dual core Atom D525 on Windows 7 WEI (4.9 vs 3.5) Seriosly ? Dual Core with HT is that much slower than my OC'd Celeron D ? Wow... maybe In-order Atoms (basicly : a pre-PentiumPro idea with new twist), should be added to worst CPUs ever created …

PCI-e is probably it. I changed drivers for yours (331.65) - still 480FPS in Nature I also changed FSB : DRAM ratio to 3:5. Still "no go" :( I did get however a higher overall score in that last case :D Probably because of a little higher CPU clock. Also CPU-z "gave up" naming a Yorkfield type CPU …

How much does your setup score in 3DMark01? It would be interesting to see how much of a difference the chipset makes. My Q6700 @ 4GHz on P45 scores 74592. Keep in mind that 65nm @ 4GHz should be roughly equal to 45nm at 3.84GHz. So if there's any difference in our scores, it's probably caused by …

Problem is that Intel's "TDP", and AMD's "TDP", probably are not the same thing. Also : If "Heat" is measured by "CPU Temp" sensor, it's WAAAY too unreliable to be useful. PS. Heat generated by CPU is NOT determined by it's temps at idle/load. Example : Low power chip (like Pentium G), can be hotter …

Additional 4-pin 12V plug on motherboard was made for Pentium 4 CPU's (it's even named "P4" on some PSU's) 😀 PS. I think with HT and in modern software, P4 3,0GHz w/HT will be faster than any Athlon XP.
