Greebe got a question..

[Zenfe]

Can you post some cpu scores between an Athlon 500 oc'ed to 750 1/3 cache and an Athlon 500 oc'ed to 750 1/2 cache??

I just have mine at 1/3 cache and was wondering what kind of difference i would get at 1/2 cache.

Thx

[Greebe]

Name a benchmark

[Zenfe]

ummmm
any kind of cpu benchmark prog.

Even 3DMark99 or 3DMark2000 cpu marks would be great.

thx

------------------
Athlon 500MHz @ 750MHz 1/3
3DMark99 cpu marks: 11678 (gotta envie this)
G400 32 meg Dual-Head Vanilla @ 160/200 (401, 2.5/2.0/2.5)
All I gotta say is DAMN MY SYSTEM IS FAST ! ! !

Greebe, you've obviously experimented with a variety of different (preposterously high) processor speeds. I'm curious. Have you seen the G400 hit a wall? When jumping from 700 MHz to 850, did you notice the board becoming a bottleneck or did your 3D benchmarks continue to rise?

Thanks.

OK,Sandra 99 Pro (registered)
scores are (2502 mips, 976 mflops) the same!

WinBench 99 1.1
With CPUmark 99
750 @ 1:3 62.3
750 @ 1:2 66.8

with FPU Winmark
750 1:3 4080
750 1:2 4080
(note, I expected that to happen)

OK now for the biggest complaint I have... I've done alot of testing and have found inconsistant results simply by rebooting the machine!

example:
800 L2 1:2 each test run twice
reboot1
66.5
reboot2
65.4
reboot3
70.4

So as you can see there's obiviously a problem!

Also Prime95 runs faster when at 700 1:2 than @ 800 1:2!!! I'll be sending my results back to AMD and MSI (using a 6167) on this issue! More to come

Anyone up for an Eclipse'd Athlon 850? Email me for more information

2836 mips, 1.107 gflops @ 850 mHz 1:3 latency
CPUmark99 71.6

[Greebe]

I'm also posting this problem in a new thread.

And again
850 1:3
reboot1
70.4
reboot2
72

I'll add that 72 is the highest I've seen yet on my machine! )

[Zenfe]

Greebe I am getting around 60 - 61 with CPUMark99.

only once did I get 62. I don't have a lot of extra cooling, could this be a factor for getting slightly lower scores?

I think I am going to push the latency up to 1/2, only problem is that I had to soldier the overclock.

Zenfe, neither of those are really good for testing your cpu! you may also want to change your "Anthlon" to "Athlon" in your siggie

I'm running some tests now

paulcs, I've seem no bottleneck as of yet!

[Greebe]

Zenfe, I suggest getting a better cooling solution, I'm using a Globalwin FKK32. If you modified an Alpha p3125 that would be best.

Also what MB are you using?

[Zenfe]

Asus K7M

[Greebe]

Ouch! Putting either of those on it is a Major pain!

[Zenfe]

hehe

I am sure i can find a way to attach a fan it.

What MB do you have?
