yes, we already save S$300+ coz we got a 3700+(sandra's PR)I'm also curious about those articles... but I think reason lies in many aspects:
1. they got a low-class CPUs or they choose to use MB which is not good at OC
2. our information are out-dated, they post their results around May or April, that time K8T800Pro/Nforce250GB MB for 754 are not popular and are expensive.
3.later they succeeded but many of them didnt make it public
4. we are lucky enough :)
I believe with sempron 3000+, the 754 A64 platform will become mainstream for AMD users, higher one is 939
at the end of 2005, or mid of 2006, we shall get a Dual Core K8 with 90nm for acceptable price, and bythen 64-bit platform is ready (OS, driver, application...)
or we get K9 directly :D
as Microsoft's DirectX plan, mid 2006 or early 2007 DX 10 will come out, with their new OS, longhorn. we change platform then :)
The reason why yours can not finish aqua and 3d mark 03 even in 270 MHz, while
mine can, is your damn fast 6800 Ultra. It eats large volume texture data in very short time. it overloaded the V-MAP speed limit. your system hang. Now what we need to do is not modding the Vdimm which is highly dangerous to MB, but just easliy and safely attach a heatsink to SB. but one thing I need your help, you have any idea what kind of sticker of geil we need to use for the heatsink? It must be a good heat-conductor.
