Sandra 2002 memory scores

[mbrock]

The only rteason I use Sandra is because it seems every reviewer on the web uses it. The program means nothing to me other than it is a way for me to compare my systems mem bandwidth with other OCed systems.

[Silencer]

yes.. its a popular programm..
I compare my systems with others based on setiscores..
I think, a seti score shows the power of a system more, than any other benchmarks

[Greebe]

So mbrock you're claiming that you've tweaked Sandra 2002 so the mem #'s come out faster... am I reading you correct?

[mbrock]

Not at all. I have twaked my system yes but not for Sandra. Is there somthing wrong with that? Isn't tweaking part of getting a good OC?

[Greebe]

If you disable the buffering crap the score in 2002 is about the same as 2001.

What does this mean then?

[mbrock]

It means:

When Sisoft changed from 2001te to 2002 they added something called buffering. By doing this the scores for 2002 increased. Buffering is a default setting under options. By disableing buffering in the options it makes the score resemble a 2001te score. Which is much much less. If you look at the posts in this thread that have pics you will see the word buffering just like mine does.

Silencer said he did not trust the 2002 program I simply gave him a way to use 2002 to compare to a 2001te score.

Nor do I and as you said I only use for comparative purposes

Then why did you start this thread? Good luck on your testing of the 512. I am sure the 2D quality is great as M always is I just hope the performance in 3D also turns out to be great.

Some one was asking for Memory Benchmarks for my Asus A7S333 before, but I was having problems with the KingMax Memory I had in and has been replaced with some Samsung DDR333 Memory and now only populating 2 Slots, thus letting me experment with PC2700 speeds later on. Right now these are my benchmarks without any tweaking going on or the like:

RAM Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth: 1650

RAM Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth: 1563

I'll play around with the Ram Settings and OC the FSB later this weekend

[Greebe]

Sorry to say this, but I must... It wasn't intended to be a pissing contest until you chimed in.

[mbrock]

OK MR MODERATOR if you say so.

I post a score that rivals rambus.

You crap on my bandwidth.

I ask a serious question about where you got your info.

You give me a bullshit answer of "18+ years OCing computers and experience as an EE in doing so.."

I may be a MINI MURCER here but I am no dummy when it comes to tweaking a systems hardware and OS for maximum performance.

So blame me if you want.

[Ant]

Quit it.

[GT98]

Did some more playing around...computer didnt like being at 145 FSB, but seems stable at 144 Heres my lastest numbers:

RAM Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth: 1779

RAM Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth: 1682

I'm running the ram at 1:1 and my Memory settings are 2:2:3:5..if anyone has any tweaks I can do I would appreat it

[KvHagedorn]

I think it makes a lot of sense for Dr. Mordrid to seek the best in PCI bandwidth, since he uses an RT series card on a regular basis. For those seeking higher memory bandwidth but whose needs on the PCI bus are not so great, the KT333 might be the better choice.. I don't see what the big deal is.. if I was using an RT board or a gigabit ethernet card, you can bet I would have gotten one of the AMD760MPX boards, or an SIS board if I was only going single processor. I got a KT333 because the box I just built is primarily a gaming rig. To each his own and to all be happy.

Amen

SIS is becoming more and more interesting for a server-upgrade...
