Instead of repeating myself many times, I've written another log on the Red Nineteen project log - which details all of the overclocking and benchmarking that I undertook.

You can read more about it here and the full log is here.

Basically, I managed to get 2.6GHz stable - so Red Nineteen is now running at the same speed as an AM2 5000 X2, with the added bonus of twice the L2 Cache. Ideally I would have hit 2.8GHz, equalling an AM2 FX-62, but it's only 200MHz off.

Now that I've wasted many hours in the evenings trying to get it stable, I can now get on and play some more games. On Saturday I purchased Warcraft 3, along with the Frozen Throne expansion for a huge sum of £3.99. Hopefully it'll be another LAN game to add to the collection - which I'm hoping to build-up in time for all 4 of us to play in September.

Also, I picked up F.E.A.R, Quake 4, Doom 3 and a few others the other week, to see how fast this rig really is and to expand my gaming options.

Try and run Oblivion, tell me what happens. Run it @ max deep in the forest somewhere. That is the system KILLER. Now get on them games...and make sure to stay away from WoW!!

On a side note my pooter stuffs been delayed yet again another week because of the cpu. fook. At least I wont be in such a rush to get home this week anymore.

I'll try Oblivion soon, as haven't had a go with it at all yet...

And I wont be playing WoW ever - It's Warcraft 3 I picked up. I don't have the free time to spend on an MMORPG anymore.

I wanna see pics of your new PC stuff when it arrives, or you could post it to me so I can see it all, then I'll post it back.

Im gonna slap up some webpage with loads of pics up when i putting pooter together. Thats if it even works or arrives! I emailed about the cpu and they said they not even sure when they gonna get it, which is not what they told me the other day.... not good really. Im guessing it would be the same anywhere else tho with the large uptake. I'll stick with Scan and give them the benefit of the doubt. I want to get fear too, the multiplayer side of the game is being released for free called fear combat or something so i should be able to play that at least. I really liked the fear demo but it ran like total shit. peace out yo. ill kepp ya posted. (no not me new computer components! They're mine!)
