[Sign-up here for Northeast (USA) LN2 get-together!]

A 2 hour ride for me, so unless something out of my control happens, I'll be there. I plan on loading up a couple totes full of parts just in case.

[RIBEIROCROSS - M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 @ 390MHz - 389.99 MHz Reference Clock]

Righteous!

 

[RedCobra - Athlon 64 3500+ Venice @ 3401MHz - 22min 8sec 687ms SuperPi 32m]

Nice Run!

[Motherboard Manufacturers - Server Challenge!]

Time to throw down a challenge to the motherboard manufacturers themselves. The biggest names in the business also have the slowest servers on the web. It's time to replace those old socket 8, Slot 2, socket 370, socket A servers your running and prove to the world what your products are really capable of!

[kikicoco1334 - Pentium 4 3.0Ghz Northwood @ 3751MHz - 1min 15sec 531ms wPrime 32m]

Hmmm, P4 Northwood 478 on DDR2. Socket adapter or P4M900?

[OptyTrooper - 2x Opteron 275 90nm @ 2750MHz - 2750 mhz CPU-Z]

Good Job!

[Abit NF7 - d10beta4 BIOS]

I have no idea. It works fine on my AN7. There are several programs that will change the clockspeed through windows on a Nforce, including CBID, Speedfan and Nvidia's Ntune.

 

As far as that bios, I went through my whole archive and I do not have D10 beta

[Abit NF7 - d10beta4 BIOS]

The standard version of clockgen should work, thats what I use. It should recognize your board without loading the PLL. There is also a older version just for Nforce2 called CGNF2. Somewhere in my collection I should have that bios, as I have most of tictac's, Merlin's, Trats, etc,etc. If i find it I'll upload it and post a link.

[Team signature?]

This is probably not the correct place to suggest this......

 

Would it be possible to make up a team signature? I mean with just the teams points and standings in both country and overall? This would be a great addition to a teams homepage or forum IMO.

[wrong catagory]

A Phenom II is not a Athlon XP-M 1600+ http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=848115

 

Nor is a Celeron E1400 a Amd Athlon XP-M 1400+ http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=848116

 

Is this the new way of getting points?

[Athlon XP-M in Athlon XP 2500+ Barton]

There are Athlon XP-M scores in the Athlon XP 2500+ Barton section. I don't like to make noise, but there are rules here for a reason. http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=CPU_231

[Serious question and confussion]

Okay, Now I understand. They need a better explanation in the FAQ on how this all works. I may never get a global, I may never get much farther than I am right now, but I sure had a blast beating on my old junk.

[Serious question and confussion]

The global score system is what I don't understand....... Not that I will ever score a global Lol. I know I have to be wrong in the way I understand it. There are only 18 benchmarks total. In order to get a global award you have to run any particular benchmark the fastest ever in the world... Am I correct? the next person that goes faster, takes your global away? So how the heck does anyone score more than 300 total points, because if you don't own a global it just becomes another hardware point.

 

Note that I'm not complaining. I just don't understand and have not found a FAQ, or anything else that explains it in depth. If there is such a thing, could someone link it.

[Serious question and confussion]

Are you seriously saying it requires no skill to make a world record run, as long as you have money? You need both skill and money if you want to compete with the top 50 on hwbot.

 

No no, I'm sorry, that didn't come out right. It takes lots of skill, but lots of money also. Again, my apologies for wording that wrong.

 

Thanks for the clear explanation. I know I cannot compete with the big boys, and never intended to. I was just having some fun with my old junk, and doing this as a team effort.

[Serious question and confussion]

As I understand it, the maximum hardware points that can go for a total score is 300. I've crossed that barrier and moved into hardware master. Now if I want to gain points, I have to get a global? I cannot get a global with my old junk, so anything I do now is just wasted time? (and perhaps hardware). So again, as I read it, this place, like so many other places, is all about the money spent, and not just the skill factor. Am I correct in my thinking?
