All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

interesting Matthew that the Q6600 with less speed still beats the newer CPU with more speed so one might guess its all the cache the Q6600 has

yeah i might uninstall FF

I would agree.. the old AMD budget cpus were full fledged rigs just minus cache and limited them severely. I spose yours being quad core and mine being dual your advantage in the memory stakes is cache.

BTW I just ran 3dmark06 with it at 4ghz as on the previous everest stats and improved the score to 16423 not a bad jump for no money.

nice what gfx is that with

Thats with an ATI 4870 512.. almost bought a 4870 x2 on sunday to add to it but really need to buy those coil packs lol.. stag come first... sometimes.

That 4ghz is on air cooling too... mind you it only just squeezes into the case height wise

ah nice i just booted back into win7 and FF works :D

running @ 3.4ghz benched 3d mark 06 and score another 2k on previous score, took a few goes to get it to book properly had to lower the FSB each time

>>14278 ORB<<

cachemem3.png

super Pi not that much different @ 15.332 Checksum: 01D34DA9

will edit with CSS frames

CSS saw a healthy jump in FPS from

Pass 2 251.98 - fps_max 400

Pass 3 256.88 - fps_max 600

Pass 4 244.08 - firefox open in the back ground

TOO

Pass 1 276.68 - fps_max 700

Pass 2 277.29 - fps_max 700

What's your GPU clock & memory clock cos the score looks higher than norm for stock HD4870 512Mb (ie. 750Mhz/900Mhz)

Nice job...now run Linpack to see how stable it is :(

I might get back to O/C since winter is arriving...in summer I managed the E8400 (E0) @ 4.46ghz (496x9) with 1.49vcore aircooled, any higher it would crash if I tried starting up in standby mode. Also, main restriction is the mobo as it struggles to handle FSB higher than 525-530 so theoretically ~4.8Ghz (530x9) would be it's limit.

The beauty of the dual cores :) 525-530 is f**kin' decent, what motherboard?

My Q6600 hits FSB wall at around 460-470FSB even when I drop the multiplier to 7 :D I think the sweet spot for the Q6600's is multiplier at 8 and use the CPU Strap to raise the memory bus.

Yeah the Wolfdale processor are great that way. mobo is a Gigabyte EP45 DS3R, performs almost on par with the EP45-extreme and only lacks the bigger NB and SB heatsinks.

Can't believe even after 2+yrs when it comes to o/c and performance the Q6600 is still prob one of the best bang for your $$.

Those P45 boards were great value. So long as you keep air flowing over those heatsinks you shouldn't have a problem..... I hope Gigabyte did a better job of mounting those heatsinks than ASUS did on mine!!!

One day I'll pull my NB/SB heatsinks and reseat them, probably my only gripe with my Maximus Formula SE board I must admit.

Speaking of Q6600s

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=270385607480

And while I am shamelessly plugging my Habibay auctions, anyone want a nice PCI-e 7600GT?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=270385625022

I will have a PCI-e Asus EAH3850 256Mb DDR3 Video card $120 for sale shortly too if anyone has an eoi.

I will also shortly have a 320Gb WD SATA HDD $40, 400Gb WD SATA HDD $50 and a 500Gb WD SATA HDD $60 for sale soon if anyone wants some storage.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
