What's your memory assessment speed?

im trying to use sandra pro business and im lost on how to get it to work.lol

thats 1 thing i dont get, a different o/s sometimes needs to recheck your overclocks?

i think i have only ever had 1 bsod with 7000, and it was my sound driver (wow what a surprise) but havnt seen it again. farcry2 is the only game i have troubles with but its only because of the trainer program i run with it that causes the crashes occasionally. i do get frustrated with it but its so addictive.

i dont know if i sould upgrade to 7057 or just wait. did you see much of a diff between 7000 and 7048? cos i would prob do the same as you, upgrade once then just wait, seeing as it wieghs in over 3gb a pop. (crappy bandwidth d/l)

The same games, apps with the same OC settings were working perfectly fine in Vista but as soon as I tried the same in Seven=Crash city. After a re-check, it's been fine

Performance wise, I can't say I've noticed a huge difference between 7000 to 7048. It's more the little features you tend to notice. However it's looking like the RC will be delayed, so it's hard to say whether it's worthwhile going 7057 now or not. Chances are by the time you d/l and install 7057, a new build will be released.

And yeah, Sandra is frustrating. That's why I prefer Everest.

can anyone tell me why my memory + cpu speeds are so slow?
could i do anything to change this?

The only way to increase it is to overclock by raising the Bus speed, yours is currently at 200Mhz (800Mhz FSB) and if you could raise it to around 300Mhz (1200Mhz FSB) and drop your multiplier to 9 so you will end up with a CPU speed of 2.7Ghz, that will speed up all components in the computer and should give you a good increase in performance. You may also have to raise your core voltage to maintain stability.

Hi,heres mine again, I reposted because there was a problem with the picture,I am not very happy with these figures,4096 DDR3-SDRAM.

That's pretty bad, it's worse than DDR2

do you know what speed the ddr3 is and what timings? i would guess that its 1066 or 1333 prob under clocked timings?

most ddr3 use 1.9volts as well so if you o.c. it make sure its at 1.9, mine is set to 1.975 and everest shows 1.94v. but double check the specs of the ram on the manufacturers website, they should show the specs and voltage needed to reach the stock speeds in case your mobo is under clocking your ram. when i installed mine it was set to auto, 1333 8/8/8/24 and the voltage showed around 1.5volts even though my ram is rated for those timtings but 1800 at 1.9volt.

Not impressed at all with my memory, 3080 MB/s. cpu isn't performing too badly I guess compared to what I've seen in the thread though, winsat cpu -compression gives me 97.13 MB/s

thats ok for 2gb ddr2 667, dont forget your 667 is really 333mhz (double data rate) eg: mine is 1800 which is 900mhz.

i would call that acceptable.

GTLS are indeed an art of their own. A time consuming art

TBH, I've had issues with each build. I had a very rocky start with 7048, but after re-clocking and re-stressing it's been pretty good so far. I've only had one BSOD in a week. Compared to 2-5 BSOD's a day.... it's a victory :)

I've found that Seven is a whole lot more sensitive to slightly unstable O/C's than Vista.

I'm giving 7057 a miss and will just wait for the RC now.



Pics or it didn't happen :)

smarteyeball, I used PC Pitstop's TechExpress .... you know they're all different
