Operating System



Windows XP Professional w/SP2

 

All tests were run using a clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, using the latest release bios.  For our stock speed tests, we ran everything at default timings for the CPU.  Our stock speed testing used settings of DDR800 at 4-4-4-12 and 1.8 vDimm (2.3v for the Reaper).  We also configured our bios settings to run the Reaper memory at DDR1150 speeds, while keeping our processor at the same 2.4 ghz speeds that we had at our stock settings.  Timings for our overclocking of the ram were set to 5-5-5-18 and 2.5v, but the CPU multiplier was set to 8x to take the CPU out of the DDR overclocking.  The video card was left at default timings as well for all tests.  For this review, stability was determined by running our battery of tests, plus the ability to complete a SuperPi 32mb test, as well as our battery of tests.
