Duron 800@1026 or 1040??

[heng1028]

i have a question of optimizing my system here

when i did a benchmark at 1026(9.5*108) i found that the memmory score is higher than 1040(10*104) but the cpu and cpu multimedia benchmark is lower at1026

is there anyone can shed some light which speed should i keep??

 

[Gothmoth]

MHz = CPU
FSB = MEMORY


1026<1040 1040 = better cpu benchmarks

108>104 108 = better memory benchmarks

If both are stable, then go with the 1026. 14 MHz will not get you much with a Suron when you are over 1GHz, so its fairly pointless. With the higher FSB, at least some of your other components will be going faster too.

i will try higher than 1040 after i pt blue orb on my northbridge

 

[xPANAFOEx]

yea, set the fsb to 108

 

[heng1028]

what is the advantage of faster cpu than the faster FSB??

 

[DarkMajiq]

When you run at a faster FSB, your processor, RAM and all components in your system will be running faster, when you use the multiplier, only your CPU is running faster.

Another thing is with the Duron with its small cache, at over 1GHz, any increase in the clock speed doesn't do too much. Consequently, the 14MHz will give you almost no speed boost at all.

OT: one more thing is when i check my L1 cache it is only 64k from cpuid

why is that?? shouldn't it be 128k??

When i run WCPUID i get:

L1 I-Cache: 64kb
L1 D-Cache: 64kb

Total L1 cache: 128kb
