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 Cell Shock). Timings for
our overclocking of the Buffalo ram were set to 5-5-5-15 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 run
and 3 full passes of Memtest.
