While I don't doubt your resulst it is suprising that most sites found abt best an 8% increase in performance. Perhpas your board is more optimised

Awesome stuff! However, to really benchmark these, you should have, as you mentioned and I'm sure know, had the same settings for both. Either both at 8.5x165 or 9x155.

Other than that, sweet stuff.

<drool>

512mb in one 256mb in the other. to bad it wasnt the same in both

 

[MrHelpful]

Why not put the Thunderbird in the EP-8K7A and even everything out? Including DDR memory.

 

[MichaelD]

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing that w/us. I noticed that you are using a Beta bios on the Athlon 4 mobo. Possibly your scores will be higher when the official bios is released? Good luck.

what the hell kind of comparison is that?...
u're running two totally different platforms and comparing them.

drop the 1.2ghz palamino in the epox w/ DDR, and do the same for the t-bird.

why are u running the t-bird on an SDR platform and the palamino on a DDR platform and comparing benchmarks?...doesn't make much sense.

also, run them at the same FSB...run EVERYTHING the same...just swap cpus..

 

[NelsonMuntz]

Mobos are not the same either. There are too many variables in these equations to call these comparitive results really valid. If the FSBs were set the same and the same amount of RAM was used and the same mobo was used the testing would be a lot more valid. i do like the testing though. It must be nice to have two top of the line systems at your disposal.

oh...didn't see mrhelpful's post...my bad.

whoops.

 

[Insane3D]

I may do some further tests with both CPU's in both boards..but this Swiftech is a pain to take off and on...

&quot;512mb in one 256mb in the other. to bad it wasnt the same in both &quot;

I didn't think it would make a difference, but I can remove on stick from my KK266 and try again..would there be a difference?

Sorry guy...didn't mean to post useless info...just thought people might like to see my results...


I guess this is a useless comaprison...so nevermind... :|:|

Damn, I didn't even get to see your original post. I guess by the replies though that maybe people are looking for a same setup type of thing. I also assume you're using the swiftech (

<< but this Swiftech is a pain to take off and on >>

... so I feel for you, it's a real pain.. but yeah, I would be interested in seeing them tested on the same platform... if you're not tired of messing around with that, then yeah, post more.

 

[Burn]

I read your stuff and found it very interesing. Just posting now to let you know that. Sorry for the whiners...

 

[nortexoid]

the ambiguity of text...

i wasnt' utterly disgusted or anything - just saying, I would like to see u run the same setup w/ both cpus...

so hurry it up!
