Yeah, but then its not really a Q6600 is it :/

yes and no

it is a q6600 but no cuz its like cheating to some ppl cuz everyone cant get one :thumbdown:

But I didnt realise that ES's sometimes had different multis?
Cos that makes them no longer that chip in my mind?

I agree george :)

I mean, cos I thought most ES's were just the same chip, but high or low leakage or whatever, and the problem was that they weren't available to public
But this just seems like another chip completely

i snagged one rex board just posted today..hopefully its a screamer on air..and thus the vas treatment commence...

i think this is the only rex board discussion..i shall post questions here into

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I dont know how much it effects 2D it has a pretty big effect on 3D though. (Which is odd I think it would effect 2D more... but...)

My First 775 board with PL settings (ASUS) scored exactly 1K less points in Vantage. 15K vice 14K. Reason was I had a PL on auto and at 500FSB on a Q9300 it was defaulting to like 13. I boughtthe board (forget what it was) because itwas the first p45 to hit 700+ and I was just trying to get 550. (only got to 535, but was on air )

Hmm thanks, hopefully I'll get a chance to rebench the cpus on DI/LN2, so should be getting better scores anyway, but i'll spend some time fiddling with the PL if I can.

George PL will help in superpi too. RTL on X58 is pretty much what PL is to s775

RTL is a minimal effect on X58 not like PL on 775.
