True story:

On the preparation day (Saturday), I made three installs of WinXP, two of which were casually given a full CPU multi/BCLK adjustment functionality (Intel ME + TurboV Core) and worked flawlessly and efficiently in 32M.
Now that I'm sober, I spent an entire evening trying to get exact same version of ME/TurboV to work on exact same board using exact same image of XP with no success - the bloody software just keeps failing for whatever reason(s).

The whole event was very well-organised and the competition was interesting - a weekend well-spent.
Good job, Marc!

Are there any more details coming on the provided OS/software, backup hardware and benchmark weights?

Just as I spent a whole day tweaking wPrime on Haswell, I see it replaced, damn

Is overnight benching available at the venue? (Fri->Sat, Sat->Sun or Sun-Mon)

Why not just make an X-hour session and allow people to run benchmarks in arbitrary order?
This way our team can be done by 10:30 and be off to nearby COOP for some (more) beer

How about some 3DMark2001SE?

What is the situation with provided operating systems?

Me and Christian Ney would like to join the competition as Team Austria

Had all these boards to play with and, subjectively, the Impact seems like the best memory clocker out of the lot.



The IMC of my CPU is not too good, had to put it cold to get the most out of my PSC kits. Mems still on air, 23-27c ambients.
