Yo Dave,

no bad numbers there ...

if you run WinXP, your might want to check out, whether using the bootswitch /PAE gives you another boost in memory performance.

my boot.ini looks like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional - PAE" /PAE multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

[Maggi]

feck ... sumthing's wrong with that VBB code tag, but I guess you figure out how it's meant

[Helevitia]

hmmm...let me check it out. Thanks maggi

BTW, I am getting 6500 on my mem scores when I overclock to 215FSB

awesome !

as you saw in my other post, my own bandwidth jumped from ~4GB/sec to 10GB/sec, after enabling /PAE and hence you might get even higher numbers.

/PAE crashed my system

[Helevitia]

OK, I tried to add the /PAE switch but it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm not sure I am doing it right. I just appended /PAE to the end of the line, like this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /PAE

Is this right?

[Maggi]

dunno why, but it seems, that alone won't do it, at least I followed some online instructions on the topic and the result is that very long entry in my boot.ini

obviously, we both share the same partitioning, hence you could just copy'n'paste the long line from mine into your boot.ini and see if it makes any difference

here is the line that matters

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional - PAE" /PAE multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

[Maggi]

sigh ... the vB code still seems to have some issues.

of course, it should be one long single line like this

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional - PAE" /PAE multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

[Helevitia]

I used your line for my example since i am not at home So my paritioning is a little different. I think I get it now, you added an extension to the existing line. I'll try it when I get home. Thanks!

honestly, to me that line looks like a doubled entry ... pretty wierd if you'd ask me, but it works over here on my new dual Opteron

Do you mean it looks like a double entry in your post or a double entry in your boot.ini?

I see a double entry in your post.

That double performance jump isn't gonna happen with your A64 I'm afraid. Only multi Opteron's (2xx, 8xx) each with their own bank gets performance boosts with NUMA support OS. Like the Thunder boards that Maggi and I have.

both ...

just in case, I'll attach my current boot.ini,

I guess, J1NG could be right with his comment, but despite that I think you still might see an improvement.
