i just got my 2.4b c1 today from atacom.com , its a sl6ef costa rica.
anywayz since it runs at 133fsb default, i ran it at 1:1 ratio with my mushkin pc2100. and WOW!
i didnt expect such a high 3dmark score compared with my other rig:
3dmark - 13447
1.8a @ 145 fsb 3:4 (2.6ghz)
mushkin pc2700 @ 193mhz (386ddr)
3dmark - 12485
2.4b @ 133fsb 1:1
mushkin pc2100 @ 133mhz (266ddr)
so a pc2100 running it in sync @ 133mhz almost has the same performace as a pc2700 running at near pc3200 speeds! wtf?
this got me thinking about those granite bay boards because i was gonna buy one, but didnt want to wait any longer. .
how come they dont perform quite as well as everyone and all the reviews say?
shouldnt running dual chn (1:1) pc2100 provide 4.2 gb/s which is perfect for a p4 bandwidth?
should i return my max2 and wait for a gigabyte 8INXP? lol
-oh yea another question, my pc2100 runs at 3.25 default volts! thats crazy! but my 2700 runs at normal 2.5, question is if i put both in my mobo, will both of them run at 3.25, 2.5, or independtly
