better or worse SQ ? RE: add /nopae to boot.ini. Somehow I missed this one.

Hi Theo,

This is exactly why I offered Cics too collect and update the scattered information on this project.

First there was this post on 2008-08-29:
Don't use "/nopae" optimisation (5.25) Posted by cics on 2008-08-29, 10:16:42

But 1,5 weeks later there was this one on 2008-09-08:
Further improvement is gained with "/nopae" optimisation (3.48)
Posted by cics on 2008-09-08, 05:00:19 (196.11.134.77)
I've edited the cMP Update post with this change (see bottom). Only use "/nopae" in the context described.

So I think many missed this post, because I see very few reply’s on this post.
That’s very strange because the difference in sound is significant.
I expected at least so see discussions on whether it is an improvement or an dis-improvement. But not even that. Nothing. No comments on SQ.
While all other (very little) tweaks are extensively discussed,
hardly anyone discusses this one on SQ.
But changes in sound (in my setup) are significant.
Sow I thought this post must be overlooked by many.

Too make a statement: in my setup it sounds not different, I think it sounds beter.
In what way beter? In the same way better, as the extra caps did on the Antec 430.
