What was the highest cpu/fsb clocks from all the teams ?

deanzo's board could bench 3d on air past 500MHz FSB easy on a quad
something stupid like 540 or 550 max frequency too

Hi guys

OK you are probably expecting me to announce the winner so let's get that out of the way

i dreamed about this first night i came back home from Taiwan and got two numbers for i4memory and OCAU forums.

It will be a post number for each forum and it's post 30 for i4memory which as far as i can tell today is paulxmn so that's it. He will get a Gigabyte EP45T EXTREME board. Please PM your details when asap mate

. I will draw the prize again if details not received in a couple of days.

NOTE >> This comp was for Australians only so you will have to either pick it up or for me to deliver it within Australia otherwise i'll draw another member's name from a hat or something hehehe (since the profile says you're in China atm)
