Hey bub, I underclocked my 9700 pro to the same clocks as yours and with my overclocked 2600+ I was within 300 points.
ALSO! WOHOO! as for proof hehe I am running my 2100+ that I have for sale which is running allot better #'s than posted after figuring it out more at 12x 190fsb. For $95 purchase price it will keep up with a 3.0ghz pent system, not outrun but keep up with hehehe and I will back that anytime! I am still testing the 2100 and pushing it, but making it run 1 hour of 3dse each time I go up a few settings, who knows it may ba as fast or faster than my 2600+ overclocked to I would have to say for a fact that is the best chip for the money available

and my word is gold as you know, not some people ina forum posting! I will shoot ya some pics of wcpuid and also my 3dmark score with this baby! Just wanna make sure it is stable first

ALso you are correct, I am useing dual channel nforce to make up for my lower bandwidth fsb but you run your ddr at 190x2 and I will run mine at 190x2 on a normal board and compare chips side by side and we will see who wins

DOn;t wanna turn this into a flaming match but the b core tbreds are the best bang for the buck in the world right now as long as you get a pre 300 chip.
