Octopuss

I got no idea what else to try. I am using Media Player Classic and just can't get it to play this stuff. Got FFDShow installed. No chance. Downloaded Windows Media Format 11 Runtime, not working too. How do I play it then?

Update! It's true. I wouldn't believe it... Look: And I'm not even at the highest possible frequency (didn't have time to play with it long enough).

Yup I understand. I am still dying to find someone to prove the main question about synchro mode giving better performance than higher asynchro speed I gotta try to play around with getting stable FSB of 450+... That would really be juicy. I don't want to increase any voltages though - got passive cooling and don't need extra heat That's also why I run at pretty low frequency - 3.3GHz is max I can squeeze out of this cpu at default voltage.

Look. Simple quick test:

But is there a way to measure it? I currently run the memory at about 1030MHz. When I tested it and went to synchro ratio, it was already mentioned 826. I even managed to go down to CL3 and generally drop the timings by noticeablel amount, but benchmarks still reported pretty big drop in performance compared to the usual setup! So I really don't know what to think. I go by the numbers which happen to be uncompromising! And um I already got effective FSB of 1652 So unless there is a test that can clearly show there is performance benefit in underclocking the memory, I guess I will stick to what I have at the moment. Oh, let's have a screenshot of my usual configuration.

I absolutely meant the first. Synchro with FSB. Btw. You are talking about some prehistorical C2Ds The 65nm E6750 I got has default FSB of 333MHz. I understand how this thing work, no need for explanation (nicely written though). The ultimate question is whether there is any way to prove there is some kind of gain in slowing the memory down. With FSB at 413MHz I would be running the RAM at 826MHz to be synchro, which is way below its specs. And of course benchmarks report lower performance in such scenario (expected).

So I read some article(s) stating that you get much more performance running memory in synchronous mode. Hum. I remember something about this several years ago. No idea about today though, with the rather fast memory and all... The trouble is I cannot seem to find a proof for this statement. I got P35 board with 2x1GB of 1066MHz Kingston modules. FSB at 413MHz. So I did a simple test. Went down to 826MHz and even lowered some timings... and of course all tests showed big drop in performance. I got no idea what such articles meant by much more performance, but the standard ways of testing, at least in my eyes, prove otherwise. What are your thoughts? Or someone even has experience with this?

Well, I belive what he lists on top of the first post are post-SP3 ones as well! Numbers do not matter (though I do not understand why they differ either ), but should't the total number of updates the same? (if first line of this post is true, which I belive is, considering the name of the_guy's thread).

I can see your list and the_guy's (http://www.msfn.org/board/Windows-XP-all-t74840.html) are different. Why is that? Either of you must be including updates that do not apply to ALL installations or something... Or I don't know

I do have the folder. But I have to manually enable quicklaunch after every install for some unknown reason. Testing without touching the lock option now.

Resurrecting. Was wondering about the same thing and came by this thread.

I'll give it a shot as soon (lol) as I get RTM cd in czech language

Delete the files?...

No, but I constantly don't have topics with new replies marked as such in my control panel. There are things between heaven and hell...

What's the whole deal with the waik thing? Everyone seems scared... I don't understand.

Yup, but one topic with one post... I don't know

There's not much of talking there

When reading this, I hardly believe you were sane when you chose that U.S. flag in settings. May I quote from Pulp Fiction? English, MTFK, do you speak it?? And yeah, even after running it through ghetto dictionary I still don't have the slightest idea what are you talking about. Jeez.

I believe quite a few people wouldn't mind paying some bucks for being able to use nLite this way. I actually didn't know until now either, and used this marvelous piece of software to make computers at work MUCH better.

The guys explain the eight NVIDIA GPUs deliver the same performance for their work as more than 300 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz processors. huh?

This wouldn't work? http://alter.org.ua/en/soft/win/uni_ata/

But it's still pretty ridiculous, hence the reaction...

Hm, I bet my 11th finger that package would slow my PC down by a least 500%. Not like I need anything else past 2.0 anyway.

Witt3439, the problem with Vista is not crashing. That seemed to be year ago and further (from my experience at least), but not anymore. No, stability is not an issue at all. "Everything else" is!
