Windows 7: What's your memory assessment speed?

I doubt it hey, the main reason I'm going for a tri-core is because my board doesn't have very good support for the higher-spec CPUs.. I can only run AMD CPUs of 125w or lower, and even the 125w processors are not recommended by XFX. Seeing as many of the Phenom II x4 CPUs are 125w to 140w, I want to try avoiding putting too much strain on my board.

Besides, a 720BE will give me 3 cores at 2.8GHz with an unlocked multiplier, which means my CPU will be way better than my current 5400+ and I can finally unleash the full potential of my Corsair RAM. I know these babies can do so much more than 8600MB/s...

This rigs about Four years old and I replaced my old 120gig HD and my 7800gt Vid card with this setup now
AMD64 athlon X2 5200+, evga9800gt, 2 Samsung 500gighd, soundblaster X-FI Xtream auido, mobo M2N sli-delux and 4 Corsair 1gig ddr2 800 sticks of ram

There is something seriously wrong with my memory speed right?

Not too bad.

Heres mine.

Unsure which exactly options you do have on your Tyan BIOS, but I strongly believe you should have somewhere an option to map memory past 3Gb.

Double check on your motherboard manual if you do have such option. I have used a couple dual and quad opterons in the past and some of them had all the way up to 64Gb RAM fully visible to the system.

Was pulling 21,500-ish @ 4.0ghz with HT enabled:








Disabled hyper threading and went up to 4.2ghz:




As you can see, outside of of Winsat - the 'performance' difference is virtually negligible.

Maybe if you run it a couple more times it might get to 35k

Went up 2k from the first to the third run.

That's the highest score I've seen yet.

My Latest Winsat.
Very nice overclock on the i7 920 smarteyeball
