RDRAM turbo? on or off?

You definitely want it on.

It does create more heat though.

An RDRAM device (RDRAM chip) has 4 states: Sleep, Nap, Standby, Active.

Sleep obviously saves the most power and is coolest, but it also takes the most time to get back to Active mode during a send.

What the setting does is prevent RDRAM going down into the lowest power mode after access: sleep. It allows RDRAM to go into Nap, which reduces latencies and speeds accesses, at the cost of power and a little more heat.
 

Ok, I turned it on and so far so good..

BTW, any tips on what is the best prog to test speeds of a machine and make sure I'm getting all I can?

(p4 533, 2.26)

Where would I find comparison benchmarks?
