P4PE and 800FSB with BIOS 1007
I have an older P4PE 845 chipset MB that runs fine as a 133MHz FSB
system and had a question, has anybody evaluated a 3.0GHz P4 / 533 @ 133MHz FSB verses a P4 3.0GHz / 800 @ 200MHz FSB? I don't want opinions so much as the data (3dMark2003, for instance). Yes, they have, go to http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu.../p4-800_4.html A very interesting article. Buy the 200MHz / 800 3.0GHz CPU! Now, ASUS made the P4PE - X with the 865 chipset but it's dual channel memory. The older P4PE is single channel. I have Crucial XMS3200 memory so I'm OK there. So, it won't beat the 865 chipset. I have on out to buy the 3.0GHz / 800 and try it, if it doesn't work a friend will buy it from me and I'll keep the 133MHz FSB version I have now. Is a FSB increase from 533MHz to 800MHz an advantage along with the memory speed increase? Seems so. again, go to, http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu.../p4-800_4.html and see if you agree with the data. |
