Sandra Benchmark

[Borisw37]

I ran the memory benchmark and got 1423 Int/ 1350 Buffered. In the results it says "Bandwith Efficiency 67% Int/ 63% Buffered" and "max memory bandwith 2128" How can i get closer to max? and why isnt it used to the Max.

consider urself lucky, i get 50% efficiency.......


there is no way to up that, but maybe a reformat and all...

it is simply the bandwith on paper, and the things on paper almost never are the same as things in RL (real life)

[james.miller]

well that really depends. you cant say nothing can be done because you dont know what system he's using - p4's average 60% i guess, but amd systems are hitting 95%+, as mine is.


Borisw37 - what are the specs of your pc? (motherboard, cpu, ram ect)

[Jognt]

hmm, wokay, srry bout that then, thought i read somewhere that it was just the way it was... :/

[Borisw37]

here is the info:
mobo - Asus a7v8x VIA KT400 chip
cpu- Athlon xp 2100+ stock speed for now
memory- Generic brand i guess, PC2100 2x256mb
Windows 2000 professional edition.

Need any more info?

Hmm.. my p4 gets like 180%

[james.miller]

i thought 250mhz fsb dc is supposed to get you 8gb/sec if you are 100% efficiant??? concidering you are benching closer to 7gb/sec, i cant see how that equates to 180%......




anyway back on subject. ummm. i dont know lol. have you tried just rebooting and retesting?

[q149]

Well 100% would be 4000, it's not doubled because of DC. If it was then on AMD people would be getting like 35% in DC.

[james.miller]

its not doubled on amd's because their fsb isnt quad pumped, p4's are however. Anyway, whether it *IS* or not, fact is you should be getting 8gb at 100% efficiancy. regardless let's get back on subject lol

i had that motherboard make sure bank interleave is on 4-way :)

and see if it makes it any better

nm, i cant read apparently. Posted something than re-read the previous post and deleted the comment. Just ignore this message :)

my bandwith is 140% (estimated)
