the speed would be highest with reiser4
and don't forget the barrier option - ext3 hates your data so it is turned of, while reiserfs and xfs love your data and have it turned on.

It has also been proven time and time again that with ACC people are getting substantially higher OC's with it. What a utility allows via software is the ability to OC when needed and cut back when it's not without having to jump into the bios everytime to revert settings when OCing is or not needed. Nothing like roasting up a system websurfing and then having to reboot and the OC back up when you want to do something like video encoding, rendering or something else that can benifit from the extra boost in speed. One of the key features of linux is the ability to go eons without rebooting. A software app allows the dynamic clocking based on the current need without having to reboot.
There are details on setting speeds/voltages/etc here:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=2806501
Maybe someone with some more time can figure out if it is possible to change this on the fly in linux.

How about Linux 2.6.26 i686 Kernel and EXT3 file system ?
PS: I suppose the speed would be higher with XFS ?

Originally posted by Melcar View PostThey're hardly useful, except for GPU based overclocking, so I for one don't miss them. Software based overclocking for the CPU/chipset always ends up with stability problems. GPU overclocking with Overdrive is not that great either (very small margins for frequency adjustment and the stress tool could be better), but for now it should suffice. Still, if you're going for the pure principle of the thing, Overdrive should be fully supported in Linux as well (even if it does not end up being too useful). As for the SB750 itself, given that disk and USB controller performance is the biggest reason to choose one SB over another, I say that it is a big letdown.

HardwareZone is the leading online technology portal in Asia Pacific gives you latest tech Updates, technology news, products & gadgets reviews and more.
We've got the low down on exactly what AMD's new "performance-leading" integrated graphics northbridge offers, in addition to its latest southbridge which is apparently primed for some super-overclocking. Has the AMD platform finally come good again?
Plus hundreds of others, people expected alot from this chipset. Of course the hyped OC'ing capability of the chipset is pretty much a useless feature in linux as there is no overdrive utility for linux (such utilities are badly absent in linux).
