wow , salute to u, bro
+0.87v what kinda cooling that you are using?
FYI, 0.5 multiplier is something holy in am2 platform.
If know how to use it wisely, can overclock the ram kaw kaw
too bad my TF7050 cannot use 0.5 multiplier and clockgen in windows.
if not i can show u how to play v it

you're welcome, my friend

FYI , 0717 bios is the best. Yesterday i've read tru some comparison , it shows that nothing much improvement with the video encoding part. And also , the memory performance of the new bios is slightly drop if compared to the 0717 bios. ( slower abit in super Pi test )

If you are mentioning windsor F3, then i would say that windsor F3 is much more better than brisbane , in terms of performance, overclock ability , as well as the temperature after overclocking. 65nm SOI from AMD is just a mess , they just simply make it in order to compete with their opponent.

i really fed up with brisbane core already bcoz it lacks in many things. The DTS spoiled , higher L2 cache latency ( this one caused the performance low ) , and the integrated memory controller also seem abit cacat .

A s754 proc can bench faster than am2 proc in Spi? Really hard to believe it as s754 proc does not support dual channel, suppose there will be a big gap in term of performance between these 2.

and how far can a windsor F3 go? Lately i'm bringing in some CZ goodies , we will see that very soon
FYI, i'm a F3 windsor user now , highest clock that i hit is 3.35GHz. you can check OC database for my screenshot.

Thanks for the recommendation

I agree with you about Brisbane, that' swhy I hold up my purchase, or I might as well buy 4000+ DD last night

Yup my Sempron 2.5GHz is 5 sec faster than my 2.4GHz X2 on 1M SuperPi, the Sempron got 35sec while the X2 is 40sec at 2.2GHz. Now the Sempron enjoy it's time off, on my friend PC which he didn't overclock

Wow good that Windsor can reach 3.3GHz. I still don't know whether I'm gonna buy it or not. Not really a heavy overclocker nowadays. I used to have P4 Northwood 2GHz reaching 3GHz before the Sempron. Looks like I have a bad CPU this time

Personally, if i got money, i will go for 5200+. it's just my budget too low so have to get this 3800+...

5200+ is too expensive, if count in term of price per performance ratio , not worth it.
I bought it bcoz feel badly wanna try out CZ during that time
Gonna let it go soon and get 3800+ CZ

dblooi,
So how is The cz going?any news?
hope you keep me posted and others too.....gonna set aside some fund for it too......hehehe

already found 19 pieces , i'm trying hard to fight with those chinaman now.
they keep on changing their 3800CZ non stop and don't wanna let others get
but don't worry , i'm a senior member in that forum...
now fighting hard...brb

5200+ got 2mb L2 cache right??is it brings any diff during gaming or demanding applications??

well i did read a review with 3600 windsor and 3800 windsor..
256 vs 512//well according to benchmark..the diff is too low.

Thanks for that
the CZs are running out fast, within 1 hr 19 pieces become 5 pieces only . Luckily oredi booked 10 of them (you may check the link for the quantity of goods). Currently dealing with them on the banking and delivery issues. Shouldn't be a problem now . Maybe can get those procs by next week if everything goes smooth

it will be some diff there.. but how much it is..i couldn't answer u in exact
maybe u can try google for some reviews for benchmark screenies

bro,
Price finalise already??

Once i get the proc in my hand then only i can finialise the price.
Estimated price is around 240-260 (including postage to doorstep).
Most probably won't be higher than that. ( unless there are some extra charges for courier..tax or others)
We will discuss it in garage sales section after i get the proc

hehehe...ok my system up and running now. Just now testing to see HD video clips 720p & 1080p

seriously have to overclock up to 2.52Ghz to see those movie clips smoothly.

720p take up 25%-35% CPU usage at 2.52Ghz - running smoothly at 19" 1440x900

1080p take up 40%-55% CPU usage at 2.52Ghz - facing a jerk in some of the scenes.


All done with onboard graphic X1250 ATI Radeon (stock did not overclock IGX/IGP).

Bro,
If thats the price range,count me in..hehehhe

the price is attractive....need to think about it first

how come the site shows the specs of Athlon 64 3800+ while showing a pic of Athlon 64 x2 3800+...
swt those chinaman...

can try to overclock the IGP to 550-600 , it is safe to oc to that range

However , i think it won't boost the smoothness of the HD movie playing. Decoding HD movie is likely dependent on the CPU if i'm not mistaken

Added on September 30, 2007, 1:03 amthey are selling those proc to their own buddies , so i guess the seller don't really care about the spec and just simply put. FYI , it is X2 3800+ tray version , 65w , F3 stepping a.k.a CZ stepping . Those are 'handpicked' procs , which means guarantee oc ability by them

will keep on updates u guys until i get the proc, then we will chat about it in garage sales section

OMG...F3 processor. Nice man
Post some screenie while you guys get it
