Mem at 148 FSB! YAY

[The Coolest]

Hi guys! Never thought I'd see this... But its really happening! My main rig is now running 148(!!!!) MHz FSB & default (x9) multi!
Before I had it on 140 x 9.5 to get the same speed... Wanna see my mem benches? In the BIOS I set the times to 2T, 2T, 2T... And its stable... I even dunno the brand of this mem module, I bought it more than a year ago when I though I was going to buy Athlon 700 (Classic :p)... Ok, here's my benches.. (The windows I'm using is ME only got windowblinds so it looks like XP :D)

Its a regular SDRAM 133 module on KT133A chipset!

What do u think?

Here's the mem benches...

Hm that memory score is pretty low ...i think it should b somewhere around 900-1000 IMO...here is the score im gettin with PIII933@1.085GHz with 155FSB,2x256MB of Micron(CAS2)but im runnin it 2-2-2,7/9...

[The Coolest]

OK, u running P3, but I dunno how to change the last 2 settings u stated... any help?
oh, & BTW, we're using different Sandra vers. that could affect scores also

[Placid]

Yes that is a different version of sandra or different test settings.
The new free sandra version is available.

My version is 2002.1.8.59 Pro
I htink its the latest version avalaible...I think your version is older thatn mine and if u download the latest version u'll have much better scores.

OK, what am I looking for? I know that something concerning mem is set to 2T 2T 2T. Just remeber its a SDRAM

well it depeneds on the memory... what brand is it ?

[The Coolest]

I really dunno, this mem is old, and I don't think there's a maker sticker on the mem. But I was asking what do I change in the BIOS? I hate the A7V-133 mobo w/ latest BIOS

[The Coolest]

WOW, I tried upping the FSB some more.... I uped it to 167MHz CAS3 & not stable, it locked up after a few mins... But still I guess its not bad for SDRAM, or is it? here's the CPUID...
