Default DFI LAN PARTY@ 260+FSB (W/Benchmarks)

I Broke the 520FSB barrier last (260 Bios) after finally fixing my Home Network issues tonight (Thx Red 02) I was able to get back to testing the FSB out on this DFI Lan Party Rev B. I was stuck with cold boot problems and stabilty issues above 500FSB, but after chatting with Kayin and Chrome who were similar experiencing issues with there new infinity board also, I decided to try a new "Beta" Bios from DFI that realy helped, it stopped crashing in the middle of benchmarks

I have not had time to run all the benchmarks yet, But so far mem test passes no problems, and My Sandra scores are now in the 3.8+Mb/s range in early testing at 263FSB in the bios with 256 MB Geill DDR 500

I ran 1 test with PCMARK 02, and it went well using 260FSB x9.5 in the bios with CAS 3-5-5-9 Timings. I have also tried 3-4-4-8, but did not run the benchmark again to see if it improved yet.

This by no means is an optimised score, I am close to breaking the 7K mark for memory scores, but this was a baseline benchmark, I need to try tighter timings

Thanks Guys! I might have to format again after screwing with the bios so much..Got the BSOD so many times I was talking to myself in a language that was not quite Human

Let me say this is the most PICKY bios I have seen so far

I ran a 3D mark 01 test at 550 core 315 memory (Medium OC settings) and 3-4-4-8 instead of 3-5-5-9 I used for PC mark 02, it seemed to like it..Have to put the fine tune on her tonight, see if I can bump my scores up in the Benchmark challenge

GJ Bro nice to see some progress with that M2500. I can wait till I get mine back from RMA, and then I'll give it a go again.
