i think it'll be just fine 🙂

3.3 to 3.4 volts is fine...
 
:Q

Hey Shim, did you get a chance to run POVRAY with the AMD engine?
 
This thread is INSANE! :Q There's some hardcore OCing going on here! Great job, Shimmishim. I'm reading your thread over at Bleedingedge.com; quite a few familiar faces...I may have to sign up. 🙂

Got a question about your SANDRA memory score; something doesn't look right. I'm sure it's b/c I'm not real smart on the A64. 😱

Your memory scores are 2202/2213. Isn't that kind of low? 😕

I mean, I've got a vanilla AthlonXP rig (MoneyPit in "Rigs Profile") and I get just a hair under 3000MB/s. That's at 200MHz, BTW.

What am I missing?

side note: Where can I get SuperPI? Looks like another "standard" benchmark...interesting to see what I'd get. 🙂

A64 boards do not have dual channel capability. That is worth 200- 300pts, but you are right, running at 250 FSB 2200's are a little low. It is most likely due to the fact Shim's not using a 64- bit OS with the 64- bit Sandra. There has to be some kind of performance hit there. I'd like to see these scores in a year when there are 64- bit drivers and apps for the A64/64-bit XP platform.

Can anyone else with an A64 setup run Sandra??

are you also running unbuffered tests? 🙂

but yeah.... no dual channel... so big penalty there... 🙂

Ohh, linkified goodness. Thank you. 🙂

I'm not running dual-channel; my board won't do dual channel @ 200MHz, no matter the timings or voltages. I forgot to disable bufferering. BRB with an updated score. 🙂

Here we are. No buffering. Not so great now. 😱

that's how you run unbuffered tests in sandra

Hmm, I'm running SANDRA 2004, and my options box looks different than that. The only thing I unchecked was "Use buffering" towards the bottom of the list. BTW, in SuperPI, what test do you guys run? Off that dropdown menu there's a bunch of different ones.

Are you kidding? You've never heard the expression "A plain-old vanilla XYZ" before?

"Vanilla" meaning "plain", "nothing special", "ordinary", "nothing fantastically-earth-shattering-be-all-end-all-schiznitz." Got it? 😀
