I'm officially moving past the .5GHz mark!

[Savant]

I'm sure most of you did this long ago, but I'm getting a new motherboard so I can finnaly run my 500 at 500 instead of 450, maybe even o/c a bit (never o/c'd a processor I actually wanted, always stuff I don't need)

Anyway I'm happy now.

ps. still want a thunderbird though.

cool...im still stuck at the .266 GHz mark

.448 Here....


Hoping for a 1Gig+ Thunderbird or duron in the nearest future...

I can hit .523. . .aiming for .55 right now http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[Variable]

.582
Going for 0.6 with an AMD K6-2 533.

And 0.6 on my Laptop.

i was at .997 but i wanted to back it down to .880 so i wouldnt blow the celermine chip...hehe
i posted at 1ghz though... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Lol..its kinda funny how were doin decimal Ghz instead of Mhz's here...itll probably be the norm in a year or two.
In that case, my mom's machine runs on a 566000 Hz processor, and my roommates speeding along at Cyrix PR166, whizzing at 133000 Hz

[Savant]

the idea in using decimal gigahertz was because I see posts lots of places about passing 1GHz etc....

so I'm passing ½GHz.

I've got a test system with a Duron @ 1000 (out on loan right now), while my personal current system houses a Thunderbird at 950.

I'm planning to upgrade my personal system with a Thunderbird 1.1 GHz later this month, or I might just wait for a Pentium 4 1500 around Dec.

Still, I can't really see a need for these extreme speeds for people interested in standard desktop applications or light gaming. I keep my system upto date as I use it for a testing platform. Otherwise, I would probably still be computing with one of my older 500 MHz Socket7 systems.

Later,

I still have yet to top .166GHz http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

[nunyadam]

without more efficient cooling I'm stuck at .9ghz (.6@.9ghz so I ain't complaining)

[plucky duck]

hehe..Aura, that's exactly what I was thinking too http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Working with decimals makes our comps seem so miniscule :P

.560 here

stupid k6-3-450+ can only do that HOW CHEEP :P i can't go higher unless i pull 630mhz(140mhz bus is current) http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif are they ever gonna make a SUPERFAST socket 7 processor? mine will go up to 840 mhz and i wanna use this board FULLY before i sell it or get a new one...don't look like i'm gonna be doing that
