Very nice rig MT. I like the combination. It will kick ass! What was the final tab?

My goodness! That is one monster case. 30lbs dry!

Blackdeath is a il2 track that last just over 2 1/2 minutes. It has lots of action and explosions and is generally regarded as the best benchmark for iL2. Fraps are started at the 5 second mark and ended at the 2.30. I have two X1950XTX's in Crossfire and I note that Snacko is getting almost identical frame rates with his monster quad CPU and 4970X2 (I think this is the card he has). I also think that the game likely reaches it's limit around 65 fps and a bigger video card makes little difference. I think you have convinced me to stand pat with the P5E. Now what else can i spend some money on?

Raised the CPU FSB to 375 MHz and everything stable.

At what price point do you think this board makes sense to pick up? The price comes down almost daily.

Use this link to check out your video card Colin. http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=370&card2=25# What is the make and size of PSU?

Edging it up now to 360MHz

Bumped the FSB to 350 MHz resulting in a clock speed of 3.334. Memtest ran without any errors. When I get some more time, I will bump it again to 375. If successful I don't think I will go any further. Is there some way to turn off the power saving feature? Kind of spooky to see a multilplyer of only 6 until I stress with Prime 95 then it reverts to 9 x5. Also I ran Memtest at 2T and then 1T and there were no differences in bandwidth. I guess that means that it will not run 1T?

Nice size fish there TOAD!

I slept on it and decided to follow your advice. I'll stick with the P5e for now and see if I can resume the overclock. BTW my Everest version does not show a benchmark option under Tools. Maybe you have the pro version that does?

Price of the Asus Rampage Extreme just dropped http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?affiliateid=4352418&sku=33398 Do you know if there were revisions to this board? I think it may be time for me to get the board and then retry overclocking. I sleep on it and if it is raining tomorrow I may order it. Not sure about this OCZ ram. Any other suggestions?

Can $17,000 TOAD

Just shows how little you guys know about Canadian hard maple! A ronson Sherman could neither blow one down or shove one over.

Primary interest was in an excavator. I liked the look of a 2002 Hitachi 200LC but it had high hours (10,205) and sold for $38,000. Another guy who is an excavator driver was meant to go down with us but he got his dates mixed up and was in the Dominican Republic yesterday. It was a very interesting day with lots of Willie Nelson look alikes.

Helen and I went to a heavy equipment auction near Toronto yesterday. I didn't buy anything but some of the stuff was awfully tempting. Here are some photos.

I set the voltage to 2.1 and frequency to 1150MHz at 5-5-5-15 and it would not post. Raised voltage to 2.2 and it ran fine. Next, I tried to tighten timings to 4-5-5-15 and again the overclocking message failed popped up. Can I still go ahead and speed up the CPU?

I think there may be a misunderstanding about what is magnetic. The camera is magnetically attached to the legs so if you accidentally bump into it, nothing will break The two just sperate and then can magnetically be re-attached. See this video. http://www.youtube.com/user/Dslyecxi

I haven't been able to devote a lot of time to overclocking Falconise. What with working outside, now that Spring is here and hosting Coops, it doesn't leave me with a lot of spare time. But I have been doing a bit when I can and need a little help before I move on. I have been able to run the ram at 4-4-4-9 with no issues. But the command rate still shows 2T on all the reports even although it shows 1T in the Bios. Could you please explain? The following screen shot was taken while I was running Prime 95.

Definitely an east Indian.

Agree with Jabi. You could do a lot better than that for the kind of money you might spend. I am sure Falconise could build you a much better rig for the same price. You are both in Canuck land.

As some of you know, I am in the process of having a new trout pond built. A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine who has a logging and landscaping business dropped by to ask if I had any peat moss for sale. He uses it to mix with topsoil which gives the top soil a good texture and colour and adds bulk. I have always wanted to build another pond and have been clearing an area with lots of springs so it didn't take long for us to arrive at a beneficial arrangement for both of us. He gets all the peat moss he wants in exchange for building the new pond. Within a few days his excavator arrived and work commenced immediately. So far he has been in for three days and the following photographs represent what has been accomplished so far. I will update this thread, with more photos, as the digging progresses. The next photograph shows the pond starting to take shape. He has dug down about 6 feet and the water has immediately come up. On the left hand side, he has started to form a berm, which will be about 8ft high. This will allow a total pond depth of 14ft which is a must if the trout are to survive the Canadian winter. The pond bottom and berm is clay and stone which will take about 6 months to dry out before the pond can be shaped and finally flooded. On the right hand side, he has started to form an island to provide ducks and geese with a nesting sanctuary.

I would most definitely have one of the Dogz build it for you. That way you would have control of all the parts that go into it. I seem to recall a fellow from Devon offer to do this for you on TS last night but maybe he was drinking like I was.

I have tried just about everything to get the multiplier back to showing 9.5 but it continues to stick on 6. Pictures of bios attached.
