- Core 2 / 7800Gtx Upgrade Summary:
- Native games saw little or no improvement. We're graphics
limited, and only a faster card will help.
- Dosbox and virtual machine performance increased
tremendously, averaging ~50% improvement!
- Audio/Video: CD ripping/encoding is now as fast as my cd drive can
operate. A cd drive upgrade will be required for better performance. DVD
rip/encode 57% faster.
- Integer computing performance
increased twofold, while total power
consumption increased 20%.
- Core 2 / 3.5Ghz Overclock Summary:
- Native games
- Dosbox and virtual machine performance increased
tremendously, averaging ~70% improvement!
- Audio/Video: CD ripping/encoding is now as fast as my cd
drive can operate. DVD rip/encode XXX faster.
- Integer computing performance
increased twofold, while total power
consumption increased 53% (54w)
- Vista 64 OS + 6GB upgrade Summary:
- CPU Overclock: not very good with this much memory, reset
baselines for processor back to 2.4Ghz.
