Duron 650@888 benches..WooHoo

[Dravic]

Im still trying to get more out of my duron, but it seems to crap out at 900mhz+(temps only at 44c-46c). At least i have quality ram that will do 144mhz cas 2

These scores def tell me that he whole Athlon line is memory starved, check out my Sandra ALU/FPU... The upcoming ddr boards should be a treat

Duron 650@888(8x111) MEM at 144mhz cas 2
actually 8x100/33 with CPU FSB Plus : 11

These are some of the options that made the difference

not to shabby for an $89 chip.. i wish the comp store had a non raid abit kt7, as i wont be using it right now, and even when i do, the promise card is faster.

I used a #2 pencil for the L1 bridges, and a retail "duron monster" HS/fan

one more note... the Antec s1030 soho file server case($98) is AWESOME..

curios: What video card did you get that with?

 

[Killrose]

Gee, my system must be ok, I get 91fps QIII timedemo 1, my DDR is clocked 143mhz core, 327mhz mem. 1024x768, 16bit, triliner, no sky, no brass, sliders all the way up, low quality sound. I get 73+fps in 32bit. Never benched with any other tests (sisoft sandra, ect.).

I must be cooking...I get 95FPS @ 1024x768x16 with everything on high with a P3 650e cb0 @ 866 and a GF SDR and 128MB ram...

Hercules 3d prophet II mx

yeah that higher resolutions are tough for the mx board
geforce 2 mx only has a 64bit data path, and sdram.

my celeron @ 950 clocks with DDR @ 120/330 runs 3dmark 2000 at 5020

I guess i'm not all that slow for a celermine.
