Dual Channel DDR Frame rates
Anyone know what the frame rate differences on new games between having 512MB of RAM
or 1024MB of RAM and the difference with single vs dual channel ddr333 with a 333 FSB CPU like the Athlon XP 2800. I would be using the A7N8X but not the 400FSB athlon XP 3000 because it costs too much. Anyone got some actual test scores comparing the RAM setups because its like $200 difference between the high and low setup with RAM. Possibly the fps difference on games like the betas of Doom3 and Half Life 2 since they are a good example of what to expect a new game to benefit from. I would use Corsair RAM unless otherwise convinsed... So... 1. Difference between 512MB and 1024MB 2. Difference between single vs dual channel ddr333. Thanks. |

Anyone know what the frame rate differences on new games between having 512MB of RAM or 1024MB of RAM I doubt it would be very much, if any. ... and the difference with single vs dual channel If I recall (from last December when I was looking) it's something like 3%. Peanuts in other words. I would [not] be using the ... 400FSB athlon XP 3000 because it costs too much. Back in may I got a 'regular' Athlon 1700+ Thoroughbred for EURO 63 which officially runs at 133MHz (266 DDR) if I recall. But I overclock the FSB so it runs at 200MHz (400 DDR), in sync with the memory and lowered the multiplier accordingly. Later I also overclocked the processor to c how far it would go, and it's been running at 1900 real MHz (nearly 2400+ performance) for months now. I could run it at 2000 real MHz if I lowered the FSB a little, but I don't really see the need. Increasing the FSB *will* get you a better FPS. Because you run the FSB in sync with the memory your overall system performance will also improve. (OK, you were going to do the latter anyway, but with 333 DDR). I won't give you any performance/benchmark results, cause my videocard sux big time (it's a TNT2), hardly representative. -- Bas Ruiter e-Mail: www: http://members.home.nl/lordsnow |
