CPU/RAM Tuning and Temperature Monitoring in cMP

Fascinating - I am hearing differences every time I change CPU Host Freq in BIOS.
1. CPU 170MHz, RAM 3-3-3-8(I had to do it manually to get CAS to 3),cPlay 96K: Much lighter, less focused, also more relaxed sound. What a difference. Biostar is like this but maybe better. For comfortable listening I prefer kernel streaming. Temps in 30s
2. CPU 180MHz, RAM 3-3-3-9, cPlay 192: Image is getting more focused, but still unstrained. Temps in 40s
3. CPU 190Mhz, RAM 3-3-3-9, cPlay 192: The amazing, almost surreal immediacy is coming back, a tiny bit of "edge" is creeping in, but no bother. The excitement is back. Temps in 40s.
4. CPU 200MHz was my original impression of the new spec. cPlay/cMP is a Ferrari at this setting. Not for the faint-hearted!

I put my Speedfan address in Touchscreen path in cicsmemorypath, so I just click the Touchscreen button in cMP and see the CPU temps in a few seconds - nice.

I went back to the non-SSSE3 cPlay, and so far it suits me better - the treble seemed a bit constrained, but in the long run I may want to go back if ear-fatigue sets in.
