Nice goal but in the end it's about performance. LOL

How much stuff can it do quickly given the current speed of its individual parts! Fortunately they can be measured!

Post Benchmarks!!!

I already uninstalled Sandra. The results were shaky at best. The last dual mode board I used posted around 3.2, to 3.4M on the memory bandwidth tests...this board in single mode shown only around 2.3M. Gonna have to find a more reliable way of testing this machine.

By the way, in testing hard drive scores, who here uses HD Tach?

Chagnging the tests won't speed things up, you'll need new hardware for that. Every comparison should be given some regard for the system's time.

Actually, a single stick of ram, or removing one of the three I have to enable dual channel.

Sandra's test results compared to Speedfan, BIOS settings, and others were way off with this motherboard, therefore I deemed it unreliable. Sure, it read some things correctly, but not all.

Bandwidth. Note that my tests were under par compared to even slower systems. The VIA KT400 chipset runs @ 333mhz...same as mine. (Though using a 400fsb CPU, I can turn mine up to 400, you cannot do that on the KT400)



SpeedFan results:

Note CPU and case temp, and compare to Sandra's results. Sandra shows a "PCI" temp higher than that of the CPU?






These tests are being done on a completely new system....fresh OS install. Nothing else is running while these tests are being done. Something just isn't ticking....and on top of that, it's showing that I have two CPU temp settings, when this board only has one.

Hmm! Yes I noticed that your AUX temp was also listed twice. What's intersting is that the CPU temps seemed to list extremes, from cold to hot.

Which version of SiSoft Sandra is being used for the test? Don't know if it applies or not, but the Lite version doesn't support the newer 64 bit systems. I skimmed over the shots and didn't see the system processor listed.

The Athlon Barton core (XP 3000+) is a 32 bit CPU and I'm using the lite version successfully because without a 64 bit operating system it's still effectively just a 32 bit system.

Sandra 2005 Lite SR3 (SR1 added 64bit support)

The software's not to blame, as there are millions of boards out there, can't expect the program to be able to decipher everything a board has to throw at it unless that info's already in it's user database. This board has a lot of temperature probes due to the fact all of it's BIOS settings are manual by default (exception of the drive settings) instead of Auto like others are. You can OC any part of this system with a mere touch of a button. I manually configured the BIOS settings for the 333 bus, 13x1, set the CPU voltage to 1.65, mem to 2.6. The AGP/PCI bus settings are separate in the BIOS, and can be modded as well....though I leave them at 66/33 respectively. Don't care to OC those!

I was just going by what was on the website at Jagged Online showing the different program comparisons. I'm using the Pro, so I've not been keeping up with any of the Lite updates. Looks like they'd change the comparison graph to reflect the change in the Lite app.

Yeah, I only use them after a fresh installation, or a new board to see if things are what they're supposed to be. Do a quick burn in test to check temps and fan settings...otherwise I don't usually keep bench tests installed.

With the storage I have, a program like Sandra is just a drop in the bucket. I keep it around for "just in case". Plus it's a handy conversation piece here on the forums. LOL When we're talking comparisons and performance, it lets us measure with the same ruler. Having the free Lite version takes the cost factor out as well. With Lite being much the same as the retail, minus some bells and whistles, it's a good tool for most users.

I'm using the new lite version as well, it seems to have all the function that I need, and it's free.

You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

Hyper threading involves a single CPU core emulating and acting as if it were two CPU's. Two CPU's doing CPU non intensive multi tasking/threading. But when an application is CPU intensive, hyper threading is worthless because it can't divide up what it doesn't have.

An AMD 64 bit blows Intel out of the water for 95% of real uses. Hyper threading is largely effective in an office word processing environment, but that's just about it.


hyper transport is something entirely different, It's about memory control or memory controller to be more exact. On the chip memory controllers are hot, AMD's got it but Intel does Not! They're two completely different things but for most functions Hyper Transport offers more speed.

That's no longer true, Amd is winning in just about everything.

I'm sure your system is fine and AMD's really are better for gaming, and just about everything else too.

That's true for now, they will catch up. Intel came upon dual-core as an after thought.

AMD built their current core designs with dual-core in mind.

You could use the usual Sisoft lite scores. That's what we all used. I have a preference for screen shots.
