Hello, again. Welcome to the fun. Lets see how far we can push the Socket A platform.

I will keep one main score board and one for each core.

Rules:
*Must have screenshot with cpuz and score.
*Must be Socket A/462.
*OS, No restrictions.
*Chipset, No restrictions.
*GPU, No restrictions
*Cooling, No Sub Ambient.
*Overclocking is a must, No stock scores!!!
*Tweaking and tinkering is a must.
*3DMark 2001 SE
* CPUmark 99

Socket A platform:
#1 Supercordo @ 21231, 2500mhz, 200FSB, HD 3850 Re: Socket A: Aiming for the Stars!!!

Count me in for this, I've a few different boards and quite a few cpus too - I believe the Athlon XPs were probably the best, kicking myself that I don't still have my 2500 XP-M

Hmm.. tempts me to grab a K7S8X and just mod it the same way I did back then.. and beyond? Considering...

With only single channel ram and 333mhz fsb, youre going to have to do a lot of modding to compete with all the nForce2 Ultra 400 boards.

Because a challenge isn't a challenge if you'd use the easiest path. My K7S8X would do 200MHz FSB and more back in the day, though not officially supported. And yes, single channel sucks, but for me it's a throwback to my youth.

I'd have an A7N8X as well, but I don't want to.. Well.. Risk it 😀

Me and my MSI 745 Ultra will watch as you crash...and burn...in your heroic attempt to take SIS to the top of the mountain

With popcorns of course

as for me...im not even trying, there are people here that are insane...
