Seens like memory speed don´t make a big difference in FM, overclocked mine from 667 to 800, and the time went to 34.59, just 26 seconds faster...

Q6600 runs much hotter than E6850 and is only 2.4GHz per core with FM not exactly threading well on multicore CPU's.

CAS 3 RAM as well? Interleaved? Manual settings or auto? Memory remap enabled for 64bit? 4x1 or 2x2 sticks? Motherboard? Bus Bandwidth? What are your Northbridge BIOS settings?

Yeah, not the cut and dried case some of you think it is.

Also what stepping are all your Q6600's? Are they thermal efficient models?

List goes on tbf.

lol, sad

It's slightly faster when I use 15K RPM SCSI Hard Drives instead of Western Digital Raptors.

Barcelona is just slightly slower than the Core 2 Quad (both at 2GHz) but Phenom might improve that with HT3.

I just made the same test using the original setup, but now using the 8.0.1 beta patch and the result is:

51 min 47 sec.

Almost 50% slower than with the original version( 35 min. 28 sec.).

So, it´s a fact, the beta patch slowed the game.

Dart · 10-29-2007, 01:51 PM

THS: The same year 31/08/2007
