Which is faster? Duron 8.5 x 110, 9x105, or 9.5x100 ?

[RoadRuner]

I'm curious. My chip seems to run at these various speeds only.

A7v

Is this slow?
Sisoft cpu/fpu 2668/1290
MMX 3174/4353
Memory 460/590 ?


Whats going to do the best performance for surfing and all?

surfing and day to day stuff, there will be very little difference. gaming and anything that stress teh system will show the difference.

Run the sandra bench you have at all 3 speeds.

From my expereice the 110x8.5(935) is going to be the fastest, then the 9x105, then the 9.5x100. The biggest bottle neck in computers today is memory throughput.

At 110 fsb, thats 220 effective for the ev6 bus. pc 133 ram will also increase performace, especially if you go with the 8.5x110 as you will be able to better keep that 220 effective fsb fed with data to the cpu.

8.5x110 will give you the best performance.

8.5 x 110 especialy if you use fsb+pci for memory speed.

okay best i can do stable is 110x8.5 running 2-3-2.

strange this ram doesn't seem to be stable at 9.5x100 @ 2-2-2

its mushkin rev 1.5

If you can't do 9.5 * 100, its not the RAM. The RAM is running at the same speed (the default speed I might add). It might be that that is around the limit of your CPU. I wouldn't be suprised if it were that or some temperature issue. But either way, I doubt its the RAM holding you back.

As for which setup would be fastest:
I would imagine that the 8.5 * 110 would be fastest, assuming you can run it stable. Just watch out for lagging performance from some of your cards.

Make sure that its stable at FSB110, in my experience and from what I've read, athlons or the chipset can't handle FSB increases.

Well, I'm currently running @9x113 (1017Mhz). I havent tried 9x114, maybe I'll try tonite. My system was running perfectly stable at 8.5x115 some days ago, so if it doesnt run at up to 9x115, the CPU will be the limitin factor, as my system seems to appreciate a high FSB.
