why not just try it ? RE: Please state conditions for using nopae

Hi Riboge,

Thankx for your response.
Why not just try it? And let your ears decide.

I agry it’s unclear.
But in The Netherlands (where I live) we have a saying: ‘Proberen gaat boven studeren’.
Which means something like: ‘trying goes above (endless) studying’
And that’s what I did: I just tried it.
Risks of trying are low.
What worse things could happen if you try ?

Adding /nopea gave a significant difference in sound.
( /noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect /nopea /timeres=9800 /nodebug /pcilock /3GB )
I use the word ‘different’, because different isn’t always ‘beter’.

But to my ears it is significantly beter.
In what way beter?
In the same category of ‘beter’ than the ‘cap-mod’ on the P4-powerline and the P20/24 powerlines from the PSU to the mobo I did last weekend.
(with cheap caps, no expensive ‘audiophile’ caps)

I know sometimes it can be difficult to decide if a difference is also ‘better’
And also if one isn’t fooled by ‘the placebo-effect’
But what other options are there than just to try?

So let me know what your ears are telling you.
:-)

I don’t use the EIST function with corresponding XP power-settings, since I can’t hear any sound differences when its ‘on’ or ‘off’. But I do see an extra 1 or 2 µs latency in dpclat when EIST + XP powersettings are enabled. So for the time being it stay’s off)
