I just decided to jump the fence for the smeg of it.
My old rig:
Barton 2500+ at 2.2GHz
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
1024mb Samsung PC3200
Pioneer A05
Pioneer 10x tray load DVD
Lite-On 52x burner
New Rig:
P4 2.6c at 3.06GHz and climbing at stock vcore
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
The rest carried over from my last rig.
All of it went into this case which I am reviewing for BuyRaidMax.com, and it kicks ass. :afro:

Nice case, I'm actually envious and I don't think I've had case envy since I learned about what a "Vapochill" was! :lol:

As I told my friend when he said he wanted that case...
"Why the hell do you want that case? It is the single ugliest thing ever. It calls to you now, sure, but you will quickly learn to hate it."
But meh. He bought it anyway. I take solace, though, in the knowledge that my words shall come true.

LOL Damn Intel.
Barton 2500 @ 2.2GHz = 5990 3dmarks in 2k3
Intel P4 2.6c = 5980 3dmarks
400Mhz faster, but outperformed by my Barton. Damn, lol. :rolleyes:

LOL Damn Intel.

Ok, just ran Sandra Arithmatic and Multimedia benchies.
My Barton CREAMED my P4 in both.....
$^%$^%#$%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:
But in windows and applications, it is much faster, must be the hyperthreading. :)

Ok, looks like the final count is 2925MHz at 1.6v vcore with the stock Intel cooler.
Running Prime95 now for a while, and no lock yet. :thumbsup:

LOL, that's right buddy! Raise the LARGE, LOUD, AMD heatsink.
This thing is quiet, cool, and rock stable. Oh yea, and bloody fast during actual use, not synthetic benches. :afro:

I hereby command you to get off your ass and put an SLK900U on that thing.
Or one of those El Gigante Zalman coolers. ;)

True but i heard the P4 architecture demands more memory bandwidth than AMD does.
