HELP! - What's faster...

[OC-Master]

AXIA 1GHz Athlon @ 1.40GHz (133x10.5) or 1.36GHz (143x9.5)??

Any help appreciated. I figure, higher bus speeds means more speed?

[KaHNZa]

between 1.4Ghz and 1.36Ghz thats only 40 Mhz. But thie higher the faster.

[OC-Master]

But I really need to be diffenate here, since my T-bird maxes out at 1.36GHz and 1.40GHz.

Is 1.40GHz with 266MHz bus the better deal or
is 1.36GHz with 286MHz bus the better deal both using 1.800Volts.

[KaHNZa]

I would say stick with the 1.36Ghz. A higher FSB is better on many occasions.

its really what u feel- cause a higher FSB will get better performance but at 1.4gig its could be just the same due to the increased speed-but the lower FSB is still respectable at 1.4ghz. Plus there is less stress on sll the other AGP/PCI devices- that will make their life longer also more stable/less likely to fail

[OC-Master]

thanx man, I think I will stick at 1400MHz then. Hmm. I have yet one more question, I will post too..



-Should I use 3.3V or 3.4V for the vio setting? I know lots about computers and boards and stuff but the defualt setting for the Abit KT7A-RAID is 3.4V VIO and I thought it was supposed to be 3.3V since SD-Ram is rated 3.3V.

HELP!

-Also, does it make less physical amount of heat when lowering the VIO voltage, I never really checked.

Run a benchmark between both setups

No Problem man..o that is quite a nice system. Hope all goes well

Hey, stop making fun of my 3D card, just because it has problems detecting what a frame rate is, doesnt mean you have to diss it LOL

j/k man

p.s - I'm gonna get a GeForce3 128MB in september when they come out
