Hi guys ! Just a few quick questions
What version of Sisoft SAndro shoul I use ??? 2003 or 2001 Pro ?
And then I have a P4 2.26 @ 2.39 ( FSB 140 )
2 sticks RAM. One PC 2100 CA2 and one PC3200 CA 2.5
timings 2-5-2-2 and Enhanced RAM = On
What results should I get in Sandra ? Like Memory and CPU benchmarks ?
Should I turn off all other programs when I run them too ?
Thanks in advance !!!

Yes, close all programs when you do any benchies.
Only way to find out your scores is to run the benchies.
Check back w/ your scores. G/L.

I use the free version, whichever one it is. I'm not home right now.

I just checked madonion website. It's the 2001 version.

Well I made screenshots but they are big
Well here are some results I made


Memory bandwith:
2124
2131

Cpu Arithmetic:
6449
1347/3155

Cpu Multimedia:
9523
12053

My problem is my RAM : ( I can't make it to 3:4 not even at the stock FSB and weakest settings
But I really need 512 RAM. My PC is swaping as hell without it...
Well how bad is it ?

you should post your pc specifications sothat we can make any conclusions at all
for a amd duron it's very good, for a amd 2400 it's miserable

Why don't you try just with the PC3200 one???
Go and make the page file 800Mb - 800Mb and give it a try....

i thought that if you had 2 sticks of ram that were different speeds that both would run at the lower of the two speeds (correct me if i am wrong). i believe that is why it was recommended to just running the stick of 3200... good luck.

Well the PC3200 would be limited to the PC2100 as far as the overclocking goes because it can't handle the higher FSB and would cause instability way before the PC3200 gave out.
