Philbar71, when you hit 19,000 bench, was it OC like in you sli-mb post w\ the build in your avatar? I don't have Vista so did 3d 06 for comparison help and benched 11,200. 1yr ago I did 15,700 with 10,000rpm hd. Now have 7,200. And I'm only showing 1 core oc to 3.3, before both 3.3. I'm not concerned about my one core issue, just wanted to state it so everythings on the table to ask this - Would the difference in hd speed make that much of a difference for Inked? When looking at Philbar71's system - ram's faster, cpu's oced?, hd speed?, difference in MB's? fsb@2000?
