Upgraded to A64

So I finnally upgraded to a 754 A64 3200+ system. I had a Barton 2500 on a NF7S V 2.0 and I went to a A64 3200+ on a Neo Platium with 1 Gig of Corsair ram. The difference is Banana

.

Used to be on Doom3, that even the startup screen would stutter very slightly (if that isn't a word, it is now! Mr. T

) but now, holy cow. This thing rocks. I kept my 9800Pro from the old set-up but I did get a new maxtor 120 gig drive to make everything fresh. It seems that even in Quake III that I can do seriously crazy jumps and other wierd things.

Ok, I've drooled on you guys enough.

Thanks

Very nice!

Which 3200+ did you get? I just built a system on a 3200+ with the 1MB cache (2.0GHz), and a Gigabyte nForce3 250GB mobo... Everything seems faster and smoother... even Windows install... Laughing

Rocking the onboard IDE RAID right now, but would like to get up on the S-ATA RAID.

Yep, that's the one. I paired it with a MSI Neo Platium and it's like you say, everything is wicked fast. Seems like Windows loads in 2 sec. flat.

I had been wondering why the poor benches despite what seemed like decent speed on my A64... Then I noticed in Sandra that the DDR was at 333MHz... and the BIOS didn't seem to have settings to change it...

Just saw a review on Hexus for my Gigabyte board... YOu have to hit CTRL-F1 while in the BIOS to unlock hidden features... some basic features like DDR timing, speed, AGP aperture, and so on... weird, why hide them?
