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
left 4-4-4-12 and 1.9v, but the ram divider was set to the lowest
possible to take any ram issues out of the CPU overclocking. Vcore is
set at 1.5v (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.
