This thread isn't named "Hardware pr0n" for nothing, you know.

so now i have
512mb pc3200 400mhz ddr
empty
512mb pc3200 400mhz ddr
does anyone know if i can get better performance or is it just one of those things?
What program is generating those results?

Good.
The PC I just built for my brother is also a nForce3-250.
Tonight when I get home I'll install Everest on it and see what kind of results it gets.

Dave, what's your clock speed now? Has it reverted back to 200MHz?
I hadn't realised that the K8NS was a S754 board, when I looked it up I got the impression it was S939, but I realise now that I was looking at the K8NS-939 (damn stupid way to number boards ) so you aren't going to get the high dual-channel speeds.
I think if you check back I said that the cheap mem was ok if you didn't plan on OCing, but you should still get an advantage if you ditch the page file.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

i haven't noticed any downside at all, i just want it all d:
in fact it's fantastical. now games don't jerk when theres a new sound effect or owt and quitting them gets me straight to desktop or IE without me having to spin the hard-drive
OK Gep...
With a 3000+ Clawhammer running on a Chaintech ZNF3-250 ( stock settings):
read:3062
write:1225
latency:51.6
Ram is Mushkin Blue Line PC3200 (1GB, located in slots 1 & 3).
Not really that much different than your results, so I guess we are both in the ballpark.
BTW...
Started getting the H2O stuff in today.
From FrozenCPU I got the 3/8"id Tygon tubing and clamps.
Unfortunately, the PolarFlo CPU block and pump ship direct from PolarFlo and I have no tracking # so no idea when they might show up.
The GPU block from DangerDen also arrived, and I must say it's a very impressive bit 'o kit.
Now for a wee hypothetical question...
By far the hottest part of the PC is the video card.
By comparison, the CPU is absurdly cool.
I'm wondering if it might not be feasible to run the loop thusly- pump>radiator>vid card>CPU>pump.
This would (presumably) allow for maximum temp reduction of the GPU ( which I'd like) and maybe give up a degree or two on the CPU (which I can afford).
Then again, maybe not.
I know the only way to really find out is to try both ways, but setting up a water loop and then breaking it down is quite the PITA and sheer inertia means that the first arrangement is prolly the one I'll stay with, so I'd like to get it right the first time if possible.
The floor is open...
