I was just wondering what are good memory scores for a 2.0 Northwood with Crucial 2100 ddr memory. I get around 1900 for 2.0 and dropped to 1200 at 2.4 gig. Anything I can do about this, I am running at 2 5 2 2 timings already.

Did you make sure the CPU/Memory Ratio was 1:1 or 3:4 or did you leave it on Auto? Only other thing I can think is some kind of memory errors are occuring, but I have the same memory and my scores at 2.4 are 2285/2185 with the new Sandra (but my fsb is 150 and yours is 120?). Are you running the newest Sandra?

I have gone through this thing thousands of times and dont find any settings for memory ratio. The only thing I have under memory settings are all set to the lowest settings such as memory freq set to DDR 266, DRAM timing set to manual then cas 2 Active to Percharge Delay also set to 5 the lowest so timings are 2 5 2 2. This is a Soyo P41 Fire Dragon mobo, and yes I am at 120 fsb.

I don't know what settings the Fire Dragon has (manual isn't available so I don't have a clue). If it is like the other 478 socket Soyo boards, it doesn't have that ratios. It probably just lets you set it to DDR266, which at 100fsb was running at 133mhz, at 120fsb its probably only running 120mhz (this is only a guess though).

Maybe someone else with that board can help.

Its not like the system is dying or anything with those memory scores but hey for a $200.00 board I expect more.

I have only had this board for 3 weeks I would hope its the latest BIOS but I could be wrong.
