cpu looks good...ddr and hard drive look a lil pale....try adusting the voltage for the ddr on the mobo to 2.8 volts and change the timings for the ram in the bios to 8862222.....that should give you better performance there....as for that hard drive prolly not alot you can do....might look to getting a promise fast trak tx2 RAID controller and another hard drive identical to the one you have and setting up a RAID 0 array.

The only Sandra benchmarks that are worth a damn are the memroy benchmarks, the rest of them are almost completely worthless.

Your memory benchmarks look a bit low...

The other Sandra benches are almost completely unrepresentable of real world performance, and have little bearing upon reality. Not to mention the are very inconsistent.

rand what does unresentable mean?....lol

Looking good... Used to own 8k7a+, onboard raid controller sucks 2xWD7200rpm Raid 0 doing 9562Mbps benchmark lol... Anyway, RAM ALU 588 look a little slow though...

 

[rommel]

no way....you sure it scored that low?...i have a single scsi x15 cheetah that scores 41000

Yep, that's why i got rid of the mobo and got an ECS K7s5a... There goes my Dream RAID machine...

Anyway, I can still do raid. Just have to do modify my Promise ata66 and ata100 ide controller cards... I have both cards ata66 and ata100 lol.. Now i just need to build up the courage to go do some soldering...

Typo
Fixed now...

I dunno... the reference, AMD760+PC2100 CL2.5 shows 562 for the ALU and 768 for the FPU. So your numbers are right around there.

I just don't know if their numbers are trustable though, since my scores leave the reference in the dust.
