Yep Bill the old tester came up better than I thought and the only pulling on Ivy's reins is that CPU. I ma just wondering if I had an i7 K of some sort in there what I could stretch out of this old girl.

Would you ever have need for that? Lol

No mate but when I retire I am going to do one more major build as well as a present for my gardener mate who doesn't have a lot of dough and is pretty crippled up with arthritis. I shall use the same gear but with an i7 3770K if I can get the board as Z77's out here from my supplier are less than eight choices

I have been watching the Haswell saga but like a TV soapy eh? I couldn't put up with all that nonsense.

Nice scores John, pretty close to max on the 2nd one

You're not kidding like watching Dallas don't know what part of the CPU is going to back stab you next

Nice scores, John.

Nice one on the Ivy John, the 650 Ti did a good job, eh?

Yes mate sure did and the tester came up no slouch either seeing it has only DDR2 RAM.

Thing is that flipping EVO I got i think is a lemon mate - well you know what I mean so I am going to give it one more wipe a clone and see what happens but I know the thing stopped the fist time with what it called a broken pipe?? To be brutally honest it never seemed as fast as the straight 840 which is back in of course and like a rocket.

Yeah, DDR2 can give you a decent score if overclocked, see my WEI that I posted some days ago.

But, when it comes to actually pushing data around, DDR2 just ain't all that anymore.

Now you have my attention just how do you clock DDR2 RAM or RAM anyway I have no idea but am willing to give it a try.

Oh by th e way I redid the EVO and so far so good could have been a minor glitch.
