DaPoets Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I decided to run a 3dmark w/ out overclocking and the results were not that serious in differences from overclocked to 3.2ghz. 2.4ghz is 5801 http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultan...mp;UID=11033221 and 3.2ghz is 6059 didn't copy the url.....

B.Ob. Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Kinda strange, just cause going from single to dual core added (or at least used to) add more your 3dMark06 score. But primarily, it is supposed to be a video card benchmark, so I guess their updates have trimmed how much a CPU strength adds to the score. PCMark I think would be a better test of just the CPU alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPoets Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Main Test Results 3DMark Score 5801 3DMarks SM 2.0 Score 2062 Marks SM 3.0 Score 2296 Marks CPU Score 3672 Marks My CPU Score is much higher than other's I have seen on WNY Gamers.... but that doesn't add much to the final score if my SM 2 and 3 are low... crossfire here I come...

DaPoets Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm excited, I'll be up to 4gigs of pc6400 DDR2 ram this wednesday.... I'm not sure if the added ram will increase my score at all but I know it will help in other areas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I much happier with 3gig than the 2g I had originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I wish my mother board supported tri-channel. DDR3 is about as close as you'll get.... for the near future at least. Are all your ram sockets filled up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Naw, I don't run anything that would use more than 1.5GB of RAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPoets Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I read that since my video card is 512megs of ram, that windows xp 32 bit will only use up to 3.5gigs of my new ram.... sigh... At least I am dual booting and getting used to windows xp 64 bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 From my understanding. if your using XP32 or Vista32, the most ram you can get available will be 4gig minus the ram of your video card/s. I think if you Crossfire/SLI video cards (of 512 each) that would cut you down to 3gigs max available. Personally, I'm thinking of yanking out my two 512 sticks and putting in two 1 gig sticks to get me up to 4. As I know I will need to format soon, so I will probably go with Vista 64. I should last as-is past the Oct lan thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPoets Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) From what the ATI guys were telling me on the phone, the video card ram doesn't stack and it will use the lowest size of the two cards. So 2 cards at 512 megs each should not equate to 1gig of ram. Thus Windows xp 32 should give me 3.5gigs ram. But my ram comes in the mail tomorrow so I guess we will see then for sure! :-) Edited October 2, 2007 by DaPoets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Q. What are the memory limitations for the Vista 32-bit vs 64-bit version? ** Approximately 3.3GB addressable memory. Vista reserves upper memory space for hardware usage. Would think this would apply to XP also.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
