makes them MP unless I cut it manually and rebench, right?
funny that I bought all these Palominos from different ppl and all seem to be "not originals"
Unless I find a way to fix my NF7 (which has set itself on fire this morning) I won't be able to make any further tests.
I seem not to be the only one with this issue - Blutregen has a misreported 1600+ too (link)
it's funny that on my 1700+ (example) submissions CPU-Z reads the "Athlon XP" CPU string and still thinks it's an MP
I provide picture of the actual CPU with the CPU-Z submission usually - these are all genuine XP 1600+, 1700+, 1800+ and not MP.
I guess they are misdetected by the CPU-Z, if you have an XP Palomino I think you can have a go yourself.
GT240 has pretty much the same parameters as 9600 GSO, which has even more crippled G92 than 9800GT hence 9800GT is a better choice (GDDR5 doesn't make up for the difference)
I think there will be very few participants in S775 category ... 1000MHz 32M capable X48 boards are hard to find, not even talking about 1050 with high FSB / tight PL + subs
I don't bench 3D so I don't care ... but since lots of people are happy with paying money for benchmarking software, I will forward this info to Franck so that we can have $50 CPU-Z "advanced" licences with subfrequencies (bclk/qpi/uncore) visible
I reckon CPU-Z has never detected socket A cpus properly, so you I'll have to rely more on the info which the owner can physically read off the actual CPU rather than CPU-Z/CPUID cpu name string
