Ok, I'm gonna go for it anyway, but could you explain, why shuold I do such little
oc-tricks, when memory bandwidth and efficieny were so high e.g. with my old Epox 8RDA3+ rev.2.1 at FSB200 and even higher? They really were comparable with Abit NF7 v.2.0 (at FSB200 no matter which bios I used - stock D24 or D26 Black Mantaray) and I didn't have to do any
OC in Windows. Were romsip tables at FSB200 more performance oriented and the whole bios more mature on my 8RDA3+ rev.2.1?
@labtech1 - as already said a couple of times, I'm gonna try this. CPU Interface was always set to agressive - I even did some tests to discover the differences and they were quite big. (btw. the same goes for Abit nad CPU Interface Enabled/Disabled - exactly the same thing, I assume).
Thanx everybody, once again
UPDATE : Yes, it works like it should
11x166 in bios and then 11x200 in Windows thanks to 8rdavcore. 3D2001SE back again at 18400-18600 instead of 18000-18200; Memory bandwidth (Sisoft Sandra 2004) back at 3080MB/s Int and 2840MB/s Float like in the good old times - everything all right.
SuperPI 16M - 19:15 on my dead Abit with D26 Black Mantaray (Win2k SP4), now 19:22 (Win2k SP4) - almost no difference.
ET, could it be fixed in the next bios release? - I mean the FSB200 romsip table with more aggressive values?
