Wprime on 939 is my favorite. I already know I need to be over 3ghz to compete.

I'll play in this one if I'm not too distracted by other things. I have all the platforms but don't think I'll be very competitive because the rules for 754 & 939 exclude all of my decent cpu's.

Well I hope you get a chance to have some R&R and get a sub or two in. I love your overclocks, you'll be a good contender. I'm already sweating over a vintage classy ass beat down, but that's due to lack of good chips. Like you said, them dual cores can rock. Tonight, All 939 single core chips in a pile (the lot of 3 maybe lol) and start clocking and testing. Will have the board sealed up by 7 days from now.

Wish I could have left it with dual cores allowed but in some ways folks would have an unfair advantage based on that alone. Someone over there should have a decent single core you can get, borrow or something. Just don't ask Kryton, all his are spoken for.

Need to point out many of the X800 series cards that will appear have probrably been modded to either open up the extra pixel pipes or up to the next model via a BIOS mod or flash. I really can't say "No" to those because I too have one like that (X800 GTO). I did it with a simple BIOS file edit to open up the unused pixel pipes it had.
However I will say the card still has to be originally of the X800 family of cards that's listed as being legal for the comp, the second post has a screenie showing this list of allowed cards. I did stipulate in the rules if running such a card a simple note that the card has been modded would be required and that's really it.
If running a modded card, just say so and be done with it - It's all I'm asking of anyone to avoid any issues here. Just say what the card originally was and what mod was done, it's all good.
However if someone wants to sneak in something else and "Claim" it's a modded X800 series card they're right out and those aren't too hard to spot either.

Not worried about those X800 cards I will be on the green team for Socket A 6800 Ultra AGP. 939 will probably be a X1950

Macsbeach98 looks like we'll be evenly matched hardware wise although on paper your 6800 Ultra AGP and X1950 edge out my 6800 GT AGP and X1900 XT. Though of course I'll be running my cooling strictly ambient. It will be an interesting comp.

I will be doing 6800 GT GLH and 7900 GTO or GTX. EDIT- think I still have a X1950 also.

Just looking I think I will be on the green team all the way through 7900GTX

Got a 7950 GT here I bought for another comp sometime ago. If I play that will probrably be the one to go with here but I also have at least one 7900 GTX too.

Now, I'm pretty much ok ! Just was a bit too much infos after first read but ok now. I like the main idea how those platforms linked and I think it could be really interesting ! I made a promise to myself in the past that I will more sensitive to my nice, old stuffs, won't force them till the maximum after had some painful losses so I'm going to be a bit lighter on hw but not on user side ! Also its time to look up for some 754 board and cpu(s). I think pretty much any, maybe more common nf3 could do the trick, also should look around between those vgas (and what I have from them) performance or some potential performance in these platforms.

Don't worry about winning so much, it's all for fun and an excuse to crank on them if you want. I'm hoping the comp goes well for everyone involved, that would be the outcome I'm hoping for.

Just a heads up, will be cleaning this thread in a few days.
If you have discussion of importance, do it in the team section please.
Thanks!

After the thread cleanup is done I'll link to a comp discussion thread and that's where the back-and-forth can be. I'll go ahead and create it so things can get started there anyway.

This is for discussion and chatter in general about the comp.
Please do all of your discussion and comments in general here, this is for keeping the actual comp thread clear of any "Clutter".
Discussions and so on about the comp, entries and so forth is what I created this for.
If you need to ask questions about the comp you can do it here too.
Thanks!

OK Thread cleaned for gaming. I can lock it if you wish, but don't think we need to.

You can lock it until the comp is to start, just be sure it's unlocked right before it does so I can edit the opening post with the wallpaper to use or create another post if I have to.

I just blew up my TEC. May it rest in peace. It's done many chips for me. A tear drops my eye.

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully you can get it fixed or replaced soon. Yea me too. Looking for a decent price on a pack of them. That's the second one in all these years I've killed. I have one left out of 4 lol. It's 65w with a 60c thermal switch. It's only good for playing around with low watt chips and cooling a beer.
