I recently put together a micro-atx system on a NV6150 chipset-based mobo, and my SB scores seem low.
With an AMD Athlon64 3800+ (Venice) @ 2.4Ghz, I'm getting only about 1.47Mcems/sec.
(with different mobos with discrete graphics)
With a friend's overclocked 3000+ @ 2.39Ghz, I'm getting 2.6Mcems/sec.
With a friend's FX-55 @ 2.6Ghz, I'm getting 2.9Mcems/sec.
(again with integrated Intel Extreme 2 graphics)
With my mom's Celeron 440 (C2D) rig @ 2.0Ghz, I get 2.5-3.5Mcems/sec.
Is it the integrated graphics that is slowing my rig down? Is SB highly dependent on memory bandwidth? I am running in dual-channel.
I think I should be getting at least 2.4Mcems/sec.
