Stupid CPU Q's

[Sniper_83]

I know this is a stupid but why does it appear that my CPU's core speed appears to be higher than everyone elses?

I look at the CPU clock scores for ppl on futuremarks viedo compairisons and a search limitation of a apx. 1.8 on the CPU. Mine says 1809 and no one else goes over 1803.

Just stupid Q's to keep me bussy!

It depends a lot on any small discrepancies in the FSB, depending on the motherboard. For example, an XP2400+ runs at 15 x133.33 = 2000Mhz. However, if the FSB is 133.53MHz (for whatever reason, possibly varies between each individual board) then the actual CPU speed is 2002.95MHz or 2003MHz.

Assuming that is a 1.8C then your FSB is simply 0.5MHz over the rated FSB. Ie 100.5 x 18 = 1809MHz.

I belive it is a 1.8a.

His CPU is a 1.8a. And the frequency of the ram varies board to board from the ram and the frequency modual on the board so it can adjust up and down with that.

Ok, makes sence.
