Hey everyone. I picked up this board on newegg, a refurb job. After getting it all put together, I got the 2Ghz celeron OC to 2.66 at defaul voltage without any problems. This machine is built for my dad thus the reason for a celeron. Anyways, I slapped in some of my good Corsair TWINX PC3200 ram. After running sisoft sandra I was greeted with a somewhat low score. I figured no big deal, because my nForce2 boards seem to also score low. 2700-2900 range. (Btw, just to verify...the screen does report dual channel mode on the nForce2's)
This is when I noticed in the startup screen it was reporting 64bit single channel mode. No biggie, I switch the ram around and re ran the sisoft test. I was greeted with the following bandwidth score:
3306/3309
Was wondering, is this a pretty good/decent score? And why the heck do the nForce2 DCDDR boards seem to report much much worse than the SiS board? So far this board has been very very good. The mini IDE driver install was a major PITA. Finally got it figured out after an hour of wrestling with it.
