Yup, using D26 Mantarays XT with cpc enabled. Wonder why. So u think i should benchmark it using 3dmark rather Sandra Memory Bandwidth test ?

yeap try and see
with cpc enable and cpc disable
how ever i suggest using 3dmark 01 to see the difference as 3dmark 03 depends more on vga capabilities.

or u can try using super pi test to see the difference..either super pi or prime 95 benchmark test will show you the difference

Owh, so 1T or 2T it wont affect the memory bandwidth eh ? Maybe i would try that later. Confusing also lah the performance. haha.

erm...

maybe Mantarays XT 2T wud be the next bios on my list...


currently running on Taipan D27

i am now using original bios from abit.... coz i tried some of the modded bios and felt no performance different and the benchmark score oso sama sama aje...

Good, later we can compare the results.

Stock speeds wont let u see any differences at all. Try to overclock and measure the differences with 3dmark2001se and Sandra Memory bandwidth test.

After Flashing with the Modded Bios,

my temp was a bit lower compared to the original bios...

i dunno wether its logic or not, but that was what i got

stability in OCing...

Which modded bios? Any modded bios would give extra oompphss compared to stock bios. I never tried Taipan D27, still on D26 coz lazy.

i was using the d27 taipan

i am thinking of trying out the d26 mantarayz xt 2t....

any tips ??

Tips ? Slowly crank the fsb speed, let the proc and the ram have a sufficient burn in time. That way u can get a good results. Trust me.

hehe....

burning in proc using what program uzairi ???

prime95 ?

huh? me not using stock speed btw....
is there any nicer bios splash screen for those modded bios?

which is the recommended bios for xp 2500+ with locked mutiplier at x11?

cheers

Those are default for the bios. Hard to change either, just live with it. Afterall u wont be restarting ur pc more than 10 times a day. Do you ?

It depends on the motherboard. What motherboard you're using now ?

Abit NF7-S v2.0

Well, u can try D26 Mantarays XT 1T, 2T and D27 Taipan. Before that learn how to flash the BIOS and what you would be getting with those rams.

u can try flashing using ez flash (windows based)

oo dos based.

I think its safer using windows based flash program. If anything screw u can just reflashed it again inside windows. If from DOS the mobo would be dead if something bad happened.

i dunt know if it helps or not...

a forumer told me to flash it twice to make sure the bios flashing is successfull.

er...
i don't think so man,
if anything screwed although inside windows you are screwed also,

flashing halfway can power off = corrupted bios (don't try this at home)
