mini review i put up on another site a few months ago, some might be interested:
a small chart showing some info with the p-m thrown in
might not be all right but i tried my best.
I was a bit bored last night and thought i'd do some dothan testing.
Basically im using a PCI-E asus board with a p-m 750 (1.86Ghz) and the ct479 adaptor.
CPU cost me £130, adaptor £25 and the board £60.
altogether a small sum of £215ish, basically a third of the cost of a fx57
while talking about the fx57, i may aswell use that as a baseline to compare to
im using the p-m 750 which has a native multiplier of 14. so matching it to 200mhz gives it a perfect 2800mhz, same speed as a fx57.
note that the multiplier can be lowered in windows via est / clockgen to give higher performance, but im not interested in that at the moment.
also note cpu vcore is set to 1.55 in bios, for some reason it shows higher in cpu-z
looking around on the net i cant find any reviews of the fx57 coupled with a 7800gtx, so im using the next best thing. a fx55 with a 7800gtx from thg.
ive tried to keep the stuff the same for a fair comparison, im using the 77.72 drivers, other than that i have used the exact same settings as thg. no lod bias, no tweaks, just the standard whql drivers.
clocks are default too @ 450/1250.
P.S i didnt do a fresh install of windows, just my regular media centre.
