What's your memory assessment speed?

My winsat mem scores suck, but I make up for it
in total memory (Total Physical Memory:30,720 MB)


Ill get some sticks in soon, and see how that changes things,
8 4gb sticks, and possibly some 2gb sticks.
For now I have 10 open slots to fill.

(let me know if you have any 2 or 4 gig sticks of DDR PC2100 around)


It"s a shame that win7 only will see 2 physical CPU's, but I will
boot into 203r2, or just live with it.

I'm really a novice at this stuff but I like learning about it. I'm not sure what this means exactly but maybe you can help.

Good/Bad/Okay? Can it be improved?

Thx
Don

Hey Don. That looks good to me. Memory timings match what it says it should. No worries with this. All good.

Seems though that you can get an outrageous overclock on that processor! And you seem to be very underclocked right now at 2 GHz (look at core speed) when stock should be 3.16 GHz. And you can take it all the way up to over 4 GHz!

That is wierd b/c I have the multiplier set to 9.5 in the bios. and it reads 3.16 at start up. I'm at work now but when I am home I will look more closely at it so see if I have missed something.

I am interested in overclocking but have never done it. I will take a look at the link.

Thx
Don

Ya. I'm not familiar with your precise hardware but something definitely seems off.

You're welcome.

Here's mine. Compare to my system specs.

bloke said:

that is probably just the intel speed step or something as you can see the FSB is running at 1333 and the multiplier is at x6 so at idle the cpu is using less power. i set up my HTPC like this as it just runs win7 media center and thats about it but under load it returns the multiplier back to x9 to make 3ghz to speed things up.

yeah that seems to be what is happening b/c it does jump up to 3.16 dependning on what you are doing.

when you go into your bios, go into cpu features, and disable all of them (except the cores)

Disable what features?

Thx
Don

4GB DDR2 800 @ 5-5-5-15 2T Wonder why its so much slower than some others at lower bus and higher times? Just for info purposes I am running Kingston RAM
