Thats all I can think of right now, belowe are some pictures so what you guys think.........

Also I got a question what will be a better option. Either another gig of the same RAM. Or a new faster one..... Cuz i cant combine diffrent speed right???

Pics of the comp sometime soon hopefully

^^^Yea get 2GB of DDR2 800 @4-4-4 or higher. Else you'll be boottlenecking ur system.

 

[western]

well c the problem is I can't get 2 gigs at the same time.... but getting one gig and waiting couple monts will for another one will be better than just adding another older one I guess right

 

[Rave]

eh why are u using it with 6 multi?

 

[western]

using what with 6 multi

 

[Rave]

Cpu with 6x multiplier here

[western]

hmm idk i guess it was like that idk. Is that bad and how do i change it and what should i change it to

 

[Rave]

the default is 6, cpu multiplier x fsb gives you the rated cpu speed

in case of 6300, the multiplier is 7 and fsb 266, so 266x7 gives u 1.86, the rated speed of the processor, intrestingly it shows 1.86 gigs in 3dmark,open cpuz again and check what speed the proccy is running at and whats the multi

ohh and howuch did that dfi cost you?

 

[western]

core speed is 1600.1 mhz and multiplier is still 6

I paid 193 USA $ on newegg for the DFI

 

[Freaky]

Hmm...That's strange :S CPU-Z bug maybe ?? Try Everest and post screenie of the clock speed.

 

[dipdude]

^ I think its because of EIST.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology How To Document

 

[deejay]

OT: also if you have not done so yet update ur m/b bios to the latest one released a few days ago.

 

[Aditya]

Its EIST. Disable it from the BIOS.

Congrats..

But 975x with E6300.. :no: :no:

 

[ANP !!!]

Nice Setup. But why a Allendale with 975X. ?? .But it doesnt matter if u wont OC. btw get a better RAM, C2D are very Memory Hungry.

 

[western]

I've been looking everywhere in the Bios and I can't find the place to turn off/on that EIST

 

[western]

This is some bull**** I can c that it's enable in the Everest ( see picture) but can't find it anywhere where I can disable it:huh: :huh: :huh: does anyone know where to look ??? And yes I'm looking in the BIOS

 

[Aditya]

Which BIOS are you using?

Flash the BIOS to the Latest. 703, I think?

I think the EIST Option shows up then.

 

[western]

well my Bios date is 7/31/06 the BIOS ID is Glenwood-DG-6A79ID4AC-00 and when I looked on DFI website I didnt find anything newer

 

[Aditya]

Um.. You can see the BIOS version, liek the no. 6** / 7** whatever, when you boot your computer, and the first screen appears.

SOmething like DFI INfinity 975x 703 BIOS... blah blah.. Not sure though, just reboot and check .

 

[western]

hmm I can't really see anything like that there it all reboots too quickly the only thing i spotted out is C1E BIOS supported but I don't know if thats it

maybe this will tell u the bios
