Bus speed is the culprit more than likely. 100Mhz is 66Mhz X 1.5. 120Mhz is 60Mhz X 2.0. Charlie

Can somebody please explain this to me: I have a P90/40mb Ram/ATI Mach 64 1mb Dram and when I run GP2 I get these log results if I overclock to P100 I get a video speed of 156, but when I overclock to P120 I get a video speed of 141. Why is the video performance poorer when the cpu speed is set faster? I obviously get better cpu results when running at 120 so which clock speed do you recomend I run at?

What you should say really is: When you overclock your CPU, you must change the speed of the motherboard to accomodate the new CPU speed. As the mobo is now running at a different speed, the performance through your graphics card will decrease (since if you look at the list above you will see that a P120 will run the mobo slower than the P100. Try o/c ing to a 133 and then it should go back to what is was (well, the CPU score will go up, I'm not sure about the video - anyone know for sure what will happen?) If you o/c you do so at your own risk!! ------------- Richard Sobey Are you browning your browns?
