How can you not be satisfied with those memory bandwidth scores? You've got an A64 combined with overhead for petes sake! :Q

Anyway, if you want more bandwidth you'll have to go faster. Of course, you can only go as fast as the bus on your processor otherwise it won't make a difference.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with A64 motherboard overclocking so you'll have to wait for someone else.

don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy with these scores but sandra shows me that maximum bandwidth that I can get at these speeds is 7512MB/s while I'm getting 87-88% of it.
I can't get my memory at higher speeds because I don't have ddr booster or Vdimm mod on mobo, so basically I'm stuck at weak 2.85Vdimm :(
Best regards

You would see much bigger performance gains from more clockspeed even if it requires more vcore. The mem controller comes along for the ride as well, so overall system performance will spank 2.5ghz with more bandwidth and/or tighter timings but good. The Sisuck scores are pointless BTW, you have plenty of bandwidth feeding that A64 already.

try lower latencies. see if that works. DDRII ihas bad latencies compare to DDRI

sorry but why are you talking about DDR2???? mine Eb sticks are DDR1
3-3-2-10 are the lowest stable latewncies I can get but this is the magic of EB memory, not always the thightest means fastest.
