Thread: Phenom II x4 b50

like I said, stick with a Athlon II or Turion x2 or Turion II x2 CPU 2 Ghz or faster. At least 2 GB of ram 4 GB ideal. DDR 2 667 or faster. The ones you linked are gutless wonders and my netbook would be faster then them lol.

Hi jc good read there brother . Hi Nemesischild . Everything I run Nemesis with higher NB frequencies does better for me , I see in that article jc posted that 2600Mhz for the dude shows better performance then 2800Mhz . For me with the all around over clocks I run the higher I can run my NB the better performance I get out of my rig . That is what is so much fun about over clocking , we become our own scientist . Like this dude in the article...

please edit the links, it seems that they are messed up

Also a much newer architecture, even if it were TWO cores, it would still wipe the floor with the old 4800+. the 620, no doubt.

Thanks buddy, I gusee I should have said this earlier... Results may vary.. HAHA

Nice overclock, especially with your memory. You really don't need your NB that high, 2400-2600MHz is the sweet spot.

I need to try to isolate the issue...bad Cpu? bad stick of RAM? possibly a bad Mobo? I bought them all from Newegg....at the same time. I will have to just redo this system from the ground up I'm afraid. wow...

I have to say I always liked how things looked on screen with Ati cards in the past. But it ended up being the same problem all the time no matter which card I tried, the drivers were garbage and they never got them right, back when I owned Ati cards. I got tired of it and made the switch to nvidia, even though they were more expensive.
