Having just upgraded from a Gigabyte GA7 DXR, I wasn't expecting any great moves on my generic cas 2.5 memory. I was rather suprised when my Epox 8K3A+ just kept on going. The memory cost me £27 UK for 256Mb last year when RAM hit rock bottom, I wish I had bought a lot more.
On the Gigabyte the memory would start corrupting at 143Mhz cas 2 and that was at the maximum voltage the board could supply. The Epox seems to keep on going, admittedly its not on the fastest memory timings in BIOS, but is running cas2 with 4 way interleave and fastwrite at 168Mhz.
I don't think the memory scores are too bad for a Duron 1200@1344 and think it's the processor holding me back from better memory scores. I am scoring in the low 2400's / low 2100's in Sisoft Sandra on booting, but at the moment 2306/2069 whilst browsing.
Is a good mobo far more important than memory that you put in it??
