All tests were run using a clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2. For our stock speed tests, we ran everything at default timings for the CPU.  Our stock speed testing used Corsair DDR2 C6400C4 2 GB kit at 1.9 vDimm  at DDR2 800.  Timings for our overclocking were set to 5-5-5-18 and 2.2v, and the ram divider was set to the lowest possible to take any ram issues out of the CPU overclocking.  Vcore is set at 1.55v (actual) for 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 run.
