via 694x chipset and poor memory scores!!

[el]

I am running a MSI 6309 with 256 of pc133 at 133 cas 2 and my scores are so sad 220/240. Is it my ram or my chipset! the board is great but the memory scores are so bad!

If your memory is set in the bios to use 4 way interleave and cas 2-2-2 then its your 100mhz fsb.
Your scores are a little low for 100fsb but not a great amount.

I do know that the VIA chipset scores quite low. I have a Soyo mobo with the VIA set for a PIII and it is quite a bit lower that a BX set.....

I believe the Apollo Pro133A chipsets suffered from a memory latency issue. I hope some of this helps.

I have a mobo with this chipset. I have been happy with it, though I have ran into two games that have compatiblility issues... which was a bother but not a big deal.

I just tried the 1417 drivers i had the 1431 but my benchmarks were exactly the same but i dont have the MB that was causing the problems in the link you gave us.

Thanks anyway it was worth a try.
