P4@5Ghz

[mozzartusm]

Thanks, I do feel much better. I went fishing for an hour or so the other morning and caught one nice Bass(4 1/2 Lbs) This one was still on the bed but had to be close to laying her eggs because she was ready to pop. They are off the beds already in some of the other ponds so we need to get out and about ASAP.

It's a little misleading.

The size of the data bus is not directly related to the processor speed.

2^32 bits is simply a measure of the number of total combinations of bits on the bus.

simple example:
With a data bus 3 bits wide, 2^3 is a measure of how many ways the data can be arranged on the bus at any given time.

2^3 = 8
The data can be arranged 8 different ways like so:
000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111

Not to be confused or related to the processor frequency.

So some other property is limiting the processor to 3.2GHz. And that is simply just the THROUGHPUT. Which is a measure of both frequency and bandwidth.

The major disadvantage of a bus is that it creates a communication bottleneck. When data is passed on the bus, the bandwidth of that bus (32-bits in this case) limits the maximum throughput (MB/S).

Since performance is strictly a measure of execution time, the throughput limitation puts a ceiling on the rate at which data can be sent. For the processor in this case, the THROUGHPUT threshold is realized at around 3.2GHz.

I think they just came off the bed down here not too long ago. Did an evening fish last night and was throwing a buzzbait. Had a 4+ pounder roll on the bait right next to the boat - think it was a female that is still tired from the spawn. Threw down a grassline in the same little cut and had another good fish short strike the bait 4-5 times. i was using a trailed hook and still couldn't get the fish. A tube or a Senko would have killed them. I've bee doing mostly salt the past couple of weekends. Got into a school of reds last Sat and also picked up 8 flounder - not bad for an afternoon of fishing!

Flounder fight like theres no tommorow. Ive always wondered if it was the way there body is made. The Bass tore it up this afternoon. We had bad weather coming in so I went out at 1:30PM and for 2 hours it was unreal. I stopped counting after the 20th fish. There were 4 that were 3-4 lbs. I had an issue with 3 rotten mouth coccasans. I have never seen snakes that were that aggressive. They kept slipping up on the bank everywhere I went. Im not afraid of snakes, but that only applies if I see them. Its when I step on one that I didnt know was there that scares the hell out of me. Ahywho, I was watching for the snakes and screwed around and didnt set the hook on a wallhanger. I rolled her over one time right at the bank and.... you know the rest of the story. BTW, they were hitting a popping frog. I improvised and put on a trailer hook with a grub tail that was watermellon seed. I caught 90% on the trailer hook. I use trailers on just about anything especially spinner baits.

As it was explained to me, the rate of evaporation in open air at room temperature exceeds the rate of conduction of skin, so basically it burns off before it burns you. :O I've seen it, though never been brave enough to pour any on myself for no other reason than my own curiosity.

I've done it. It tickles. I doubt it's safe if you were to dip your hand in it though. I also wouldn't pour too much on your skin. Very small amounts evaporate fast enough to not really do anything to you.

You'd be much better off using a dry ice / alcohol mix anyway. Dry ice is -78.5ºC. That's still very cold, but won't give you an instant burn, you can hold it in your hand without too much trouble. This temperature won't freeze alcohols like methanol or ethanol so mixing the two together makes a very cold liquid. The advantage of this over liquid N2 is that it's not so cold or dangerous, will last a hell of alot longer than N2 and is easier to get hold of and transport around.

I messed with dry ice back in the day making dry ice bombs and although I thought I didn't burn myself, the next day my hands were fubar. Wear gloves.

If I was flat and that ugly I'd fight like hell too! I think Flounder are are scared st1tless and run any way they can. That and they'll turn their body and it gets like pulling a board thru the water. Redfish are just c0ck strong fish and run like hell.

It's funny you mention a popping frog. I was outside last night and was listening to what seemed like a million frogs and thought that a popping frog would kill them right now. I always hate losing a big sow like that! If i'm in a tournament I get sick to the stomach!

Yes clock speeds arnt making much of a difference right now. But Intel is easily the most stable overclocking cpu out. So i wouldnt complain much. Because going from 3.4 ghz to 5.0 ghz is quite amazing overclock ability.

Hey - don't get off topic! We're talking fishing right now!

Mozz is doing some <b>hardcore</b> OCing with his rig. A 5Ghz OC that can be stably benchmarked is phenomenal. Don't forget that he is getting no performance gains over 4.2Ghz. A stable 50% OC on any system is simply amazing. Intel has nearly always had the clock advantage, but for the average user the key is performance/clock. This is where AMD shines with its efficient architecture.

Would you like to see an extremely sick memory benchmark?
