Tweaking i840 with WPCredit........

I'd like to futher tweak my RDRAM settings with WPCredit on the i840 chipset. A lot has been done with this tool and SDRAM but there is not too much documentation with regard to RDRAM.

I did find one setting that helped increase my memory performance as far as sandras' reference system is concerned........that was to "enable cycle rule" @ offset 51-bit-2.
This brought the FPU right in line with reference..............the ALU is still short by about 100mb/s.

Sandras' MainBoard Info module shows the memory interleave set to 1-way/1-way right now. I know of people with the i840 showing 4-way interleaving .....so it must be possible to enable this change.........unless it is hardwired on my board?

I have done extensive searching on this as well as going line by line in the .pcr file for the proggy.......downloaded some i840 data sheets with regard to the MRH-R controller from intel .........but nothing is grabbin' me for obvious setting changes.

I know this is virgin territory but I was hoping someone here has a little more insight into the meaning/locations of some of the more relevant settings as it relates to RDRAM.
