currently using 3000+ AM2 and thinking of upgrading to X2 obviously.. should i go for 3600+ or 3800+?i dont quite understand the L2 stuff..3600+ (256x2) and 3800+ (512x2)..what's the different anyway?

Just wanna make sure something, is my OC method correct? Using AMD 3000+, Gigabyte S2G and 667 1GB RAM. Noob in this OC stuff

Here is what I do at BIOS:
1. HT set to x4 = 800MHz
2. Set DDR 667 to 400 -> ratio 1:1
3. Multiplier x9
4. Increase core speed by 10MHz maybe
5. Load windows
6. Check stability with OCCT, cpuz and also CBId (didn't support vista )

I manage to do until 256x9 = 2304MHz. Stable and didn't really have the guts to do further since I'm only using stock HSF.

not stability lorr, check the current condition .. just put it in one line, jimat space .. same thing like CBId

avoid anything else except those 4? what about Gigabyte? I don't have a clue why

Biostar Tforce 550 is it ok for OC? How does V would affect OC? What's the max OC for 3000+ and 3800+? How do we know we've reached their limit? How high HT Link can go?

post #2064. That's my method of early learning in OC (read it somewhere for Gigabyte S2G). And of course, I want to know more and already done all the readings but some of them can't get into my head and some can't be implemented in my mobo. Just for my knowledge for future use maybe

Noob OC guide for Gigabyte S2G (not recommended for OC, lack of features)

http://www.driverheaven.net/overclocking-m...ingle-core.html

However is it reliable? At least for someone who starting to learn in OC stuff like me

What I meant is that I bought this mobo last year and starting to know and learn about oc this year. If I have the current knowledge back then, I'd go for Biostar as well and now, just googling around for oc with this mobo and that's the result. Maybe will shift to Biostar

Opteron AM2, will it fit any AM2 mobo or does it need the mobo to support Opteron so? How's the performance cause I saw some using it (939), although it is a server processor

The board is I can let go my proc, mobo and gc to get this one

RM325 eh? Hurmm if use it, the shared memory of 512 is too high. Buy and extra 512 RAM just for its graphic but it is a good board, some more Tseries

3.0 on stock hsf and stock vcore?

Anyway about that new Biostar TA690G using X1250, comparing with 6100, which one performs better in gaming?

Don't trust cpu-z? Then what to trust?

Check cpu-z after complete calculating SuperPI

Recent AM2 Biostar mobo TF7050-M2 and TA690G AM2, which one is better in the sense of OCing and integrated VGA?
