Thanks for pointing that out. Should be fixed now.
Actually a new link to the same site. it's on the OP.

Of course he just reposted my quote. Go back to the first original post and the good one is there now.

I think in 2020 my current rig is Nostalgic for some so here it is. Specs under avatar. Still can play Crossout at high settings.

Your link points to a inexistant .htm file, while mine points to a directory. I double checked the links as I was actually expecting mine to point to a existent htm file.

What were period correct games for 2008-2009?

GTA IV, Mirror's Edge, Far Cry 2, Assassins Creed II, Fallout 3, STALKER Clear Sky, Crysis Warhead, CoD WaW, Batman Arkham Asylum, CoD MW2, Dirt 2, Resident Evil 5...

I have pretty many of those so I guess there's plenty of benchmarking

Just hope that the Steam versions from these days aren't much heavier to run than the initial versions..

Of course it did point to inexisting file it was his original non working link in the OP. Before he changes it and after he changed it to this one http://www.mywindowspage.com/index.php/os/

Not hard to figure out I tought.

And here was me thinking I was the only one messing around with old Socket A stuff at the moment :laugh:

I've got a few boards (ABIT NF7S, ABIT NF7 and EPoX 8RDA3+) and a number of chips to work my way through. Also, a LOT of DDR!

Last night was time for the mobile 2500+ Barton to go into the rig. Finished up at 2712MHz (227 x 12.0) with 2x256MB BH-5 at 5,2,2,2... I think I'm hitting the limit of the NF7S at 227 (going to take it back down and up the multiplier again..:

Some DDR:

and a 939 board to put on the bench later:

Ruru · May 3, 2020

Didn't even know that there were adapters that allows mounting a S478 cooler for a 754/939/940 board

At least you have some RAM to try around..

Decryptor009 · May 3, 2020

Awww yes!

Be back soon with pics!

Signature system.. waiting on my memory & GTX 650 Ti.

That is a Gainward HD 4850 Golden Sample 512mb.

Mr.Scott · May 3, 2020

NF7 will do more than 227.

250 is the norm even on a bad sample.
More likely that your BH-5 is choking on the lack of voltage.

Yeah, Ive got some variable resistors on order to do the vDimm mod. Not enough voltage! The DFI 939 board will supply up to 4v, so should test the RAM in that to see what it'll do!

Ruru · May 3, 2020

My HyperX BH-5 2x256 kit ran at DDR540 2-2-2-5-1T even with just 3.3V back in the day.

e: Yeah, that was a cool feature on those DFI boards

I had a wire coming straight from the 3.3V line.

Aftermarket coolers of that period used the same mount. EG. Thermalright XP-90 and XP-120.

Yeah I think it's the heatsink I got with it that came with the bracket!

Need to work my way through the RAM. All Corsair XMS 3500, Kingston 3500 and GEIL 3500!

Ah, I just used either those which just clipped on, or Zalmans which used the holes around the socket.

Indeed.
I do 939 also so I'd like to see results of both systems.

Decryptor009 · May 3, 2020

I love DFI boards.. never owned one though and usually not exactly cheap even now.

The Geils usually suck, the Corsairs are iffy (you have to test every batch), and the Kingstons (BH-5) are usually good for 260 +/- @ 2-2-2-5 @ 3.6v.
I been around a while.

Yeah me too! I had all this stuff first time around 2001-2003. Used to work at a place called Over-Clock.co.uk... the good ol' days!

I've got one Corsair stick that won't boot in this board! Also got some plain DIMMs, that are straight BH-5

Ruru · May 3, 2020

She's ready to go. :rockout:

Now ready for testing; got a CF bridge

(I'll also try the HD 6850 + 6870 combo)

i am sure that "mousemat(tm) RXT4300ZZZ" motherboard will handle them just fine ... don't forget to plug the 2x2x6pin before booting up

well i am glad i got my DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra, albeit non functioning (working on it somedays), for cheap

I picked up the DFI board with an Opteron 146, 2Gb Random RAM, heatsink and a free Radeon for £30 :toast:
