Here's mine for verification, not as complete tho. And thanks for the info, you rock as always!! 🙂

PCI Latency 32 > 64 > 96

3DMark2001SE:
11466 - 11485 - 11437

My sweet spot is 64...
Didn't test file system cause I've got tweaking to do on my drives yet...

 

[Duvie]

Damn good info...I will try it later...

Is this video card dependent?
i have no video card, just use onboard video (i845g)


3dmark2001se
run: PCI latency score
1 (64) 2190
2 (92) 2219
3 (32) 2221
4 (64) 2220
5 (92) 2211
6 (32) 2213

onboard vid is bad for a systems speed.
even if you are not a gamer, go get a nice cheap agp card and freeup your systems power.

as for agp latency ~ PCI latency effects the entire PCI bus, AGP port included.
you can view your actual latencies for each PCI/AGP "card" using sandra.

gururu ~ since youre not a gamer dont use 3dm2k1.
use HD benchmarks to see differences.

 

[gururu]

thanks for the suggestions thugsrook,

i kinda figured that may be the case.
I am indeed a gamer! 😀
Just been suffering the last few months without GOOD video cause of a cash crunch.:frown:

***UPDATE***

I re-ran all my tests and and here are the new scores.I ran Sandra HD File System twice at 128 Latency.The first score was 26159 and the second was 26715 which is more in-line with the other scores.Not sure why I got a real low score the first time.

1.6a@2.3
P4B533 i845E
WD 80GIG SE 8 MB Cache
Corsair 512 PC3200 cas 2.5
Visiontek 128MB Ti4200 29.42 Drivers (Default)

[THUGSROOK]

have you tried HD benchmarks?

i dont think mem or cpu tests would really apply to this tweak.
your best sandra does not match your best 3dmark..... etc 😉

 

[SupermanCK]

interesting...i will go home tonight and test out on my p4b266-c

 

[THUGSROOK]

how'd it work out for ya SupermanCK?

 

[SupermanCK]

haha...lklN(O\WlIlN(G |M|E...i didn't test anything last night...busy trying to sell stuff...and work on my homepage...plus i can't really change my pci latency without losing my 3:4 ratio...unless someone would donate a p4b533 board to me...hint hint 😉

 

[THUGSROOK]

oh yea sorry - forgot about all the trouble you have to go thru to change bios settings.

g'luck 🙂

 

[Drsignguy]

Always wondered what the latency does? Thanks for the tips as always Thugs!😀

Drsignguy ~ anytime 😀

LastRide ~ what ever happened with your HD testing? did your results leave you to have to comprimise?

there is an easier way...
that other jumper post is just a resting spot for the jumper...
if you remove the jumper entirely, you will be in jumper mode..
i actually used a digital audio cable to 'EXTEND' the two jumper posts.. now run it out the back of your case.. when you short it, you will be in
jumper free mode(use a bent paper clip, staple , anything) remove the short, and you are in jumper mode..all you need to do is to make an EXTENSION CHORD OF SOME KIND) for those two jumper posts.
even and old small two wire fan plug w/ wire long enough to go out the back of your case to short/unshort.
this will save a ton of time

 

[THUGSROOK]

good idea 🙂

could even goto radio shack and pickup a cheap switch to make it nice and clean too.

 

[LastRide]

Thugs,I got picked as an Xbox Live beta tester😀.Its been eating some time away from me a little.I will get to finnishing those tests later tonight or tomorrow.I am contemplating doing the whole thing over again.I'll finnish the hard drive tests first.

 

[THUGSROOK]

sweet 😎 have fun 😀

 

[LastRide]

My new scores are up on top.I re-did all tests. Looks like my sweetspot is at 96.

 

[THUGSROOK]

LastRide ~ actually overall id say your test was inconclusive 🙁
youd have to choose for yourself which tests was most important to you.

what these tests dont show is that windows is "snappier" and that you may be more stable for overclocking.

thx alot for all your work 🙂

 

[LastRide]

Your right about it being inconclusive.All your high scores come at 96 as where my high scores come at a different Latency for each test.I wouldn't mind seeing a couple more people run this test and see how they do.I know for sure with my crummy CPU at 1:1 my scores blow since I can't get a high FSB out of it.I need to run at 3:4 for better performance and higher scores.
