Single CPU's only, dang, I have a 1ghz Dual CPU Pentium III setup that rocks this world :rofl

Kudos on first submission Frank. Can you please edit to mirror the example posts information. Your screen resolution for the screenshot makes viewing the information on your screenshot impossible.

LOL

Sorry man but 1920 x1200 is my screens native res...it's the best I can do for you, this is what I was talking about earlier. The only way I get a decently viewable pic size is if I use photobucket or image shack.

do i have to physically remove the second card, or can i just disable CF for the run?

Remove the card dillhole...you know that it will still use ram from the second card with cf disabled...

would that really improve performance?

If you run with a second card installed, I'll be forced to assume that you're using the second card. Why? Heres my logic, if you're benching for absolute performance, you wouldn't have that second card within the slot as it hampers performance. Not saying you'd personally cheat by running the second card in CF and then disabling for the screeny, just saying "Toss the second card" to preserve credibility.

Thank you :D

Yes, I noticed it when I first got my X2's. Even with CF disabled I would get higher scores with two cards installed.

I got curious about this so I monitored temps both ways and discovered that the second card's cores would remain cold with cf disabled but the ram would heat up appreciably.

no prob dude just im actually benching this in my case not on a rack like you guys since i dont have one, and bench table had to be taken down, and i have taht stupid lian li fan above the cards, so single card run will have to wait till later, but my prelim dual card run is posted

I don't want you guys wasting runs so please refer to the sample screenshot for whats required in the screeny's. The text doc must have the date of the benchrun. I will not relent on the rules so pay close attention.
