PCMark...

[Colin]

I'm usually a 3DMark freak, but I figure I might as well run PCMark (which I hate honestly) to see what I score...<BR><BR>First my system spec's...<BR><BR>P4 2.66B @ 3.29 GHz<BR>Abit IT7 MAX2 Rev2<BR>256MB GeIL PC3500<BR><BR><img src="http://members.lycos.co.uk/csmo/Forum/pcmark.gif"><BR><BR>I can't overclock as high with the IT7 MAX2 Rev2, but because I can enable the 3/4 memory divider it's actually faster. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

If you set the H/W Strap to "LOW" you get options for 1:1 and 3:4.

Oops... Sorry I guess I wasn't clear.<BR><BR>Yes I have the 3/4 memory divider enabled (I need to set it to LOW because my chip is a 533 MHz version). <BR><BR>Haha, I'm surprised my memory score is higher then my processor mark. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Unfortunately Futuremark did not release a whitepaper explaining what PCMark test so it's difficult to say why it's like that. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

IOU, that score looks MUCH better! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> That's about what I get with a stock athlonXP 2700+.
