Help! my new system's FPU/ALU perf SUCKS!

[Deathwish2000]

I just installed a new 1Ghz Athlon + 128Mb of Infineon PC133 CAs2 ram ona Soltek SL-75KV2-X motherboard.
I ran SiSoft Sandra and it reports:
ALU = 306mb/sec
FPU = 317mb/sec

when my m8 ona Duron800@950 can reach 600 area! What wrong??

Please help

alu/fpu, that's ram benchmarks, right?
just out of curiosity, how the hell did you get up to 600? i mean, im running 128mb pc133 micron @cas2 and im only getting something like 550mb (i dont remember exactly)
anyway, did you set all the BIOS settings for optimization? im talkin:
dram timing 2
4-way interleave
hostclock+pciclock
force feed (or something like that)
fast write-around (i have no idea, this just sounds right)
BTW, sorry i cant give specifics, im not at my computer ATM (im actually at work, but no one is here

Just for comparison:

CPU Bench:
Dhrystone ALU 2236 MIPS
Whetstone FPU 1089

Memory:
Int ALU/RAM 409 MB/s
Float FPU/RAM 487 MB/s

A7V
Duron 600@800
320 Megs PC133 CAS3 default settings.
FSB 100

Also maybe put you old chip back in and retest.

Well that 600mb/s is what my m8 got, dunno how but he did. I am going to have to try summink, but putting my old stuff backin would be hard, i sold it !

Anything else to try? like help

by any chance is your SDRAM config set to SPD?

 

[Deathwish2000]

SPD in the BIOS?

i'll check

600 looks like a lot to me ...

Maverick2002: you really worked hard for those 80 busks

 

[Deathwish2000]

OK i channed some setting that was 2Bank/4Bank of somthing..it made a little difference! humph

Any other ideas? In running at PC100 CAS2 btw

ya, back in the bios you want to change dram timing to 2 and set hostclk+pciclk for dram speed.
