Benchmarking new system

[JustStarting]

Downloaded Sandra and got the following initial results. I performed this with the Duron at its rated speed (700) just to see how it would compare when OC'd to 950. Havent set CPU to 950 yet and run Sandra.

Chip- Dry- 1966 MIPS
Wet- 950 MFLOPS

HD index- 36175- (its a raid array)

Memory- Int ALU/RAM Bandwidth- 364MB/s
Float FPU/RAM bandwidth- 408MB/s

I'm not quite sure if these #'s are reasonable for my setup, although the memory seems to be little lacking. Is this just due to the 700 CPU speed for now?

If your running the memory at 133mhz cas 2 then the memory is defenitly low. If your running it at 100mhz then its fine, and the rest seems ok.

Make sure you bios is set to Hostclk+pciclk to run your ram at 133mhz.

Memory is set to host+pci and cas 2- that is the reason I thought it was low. what could be the cause. it is mitsubishi/256mb/pc133/cas 2.

Enable 4-way interleaving, then see what your scores are.

Thanks- enabled 4-way interleaving and scores improved dramatically.

Int ALU/RAM Bandwidth- 449MB/s (from 364)
Float FPU/RAM Bandwidth- 540MB/s (from 408)

Can anybody tell me where I can download Sandra?

 

[JustStarting]

You can find Sandra at www.sisoftware.co.uk/sandra- it will give you options on where to download it from. You must have the ability to unzip it. Get winzip at www.tucows.com. Download winzip first then sandra. winzip will unzip and install it for you after it is downloaded.

Thanks everyone for your help.

What does all this mean???
I have 256mb pc133 mosel cas2 and it reads
CPU/Memory Band 395mb/sec
FPU/Memory Band 428mb/sec

do these #'s seem accurate??

also, how do you set that 4-way interleaving thing? I have a msi k7tpro2 mobo

<< how do you set that 4-way interleaving thing? >>


look in your bios though not all bioses offer this option!
