Test1 : 150 Mhz 2-2-2-7 POST + boot windows + SuperPi 512K

 

Test2 : 160 Mhz 2-2-2-7 POST + boot windows + SuperPi 512K

 

Ambient air : 20°C

vDIMM : 3.4v

 

They will deserve 3 Awards :

 

Crap Award

 

Test1 Ok Award

I already have the TwinMos 256MB stick that is stable under SuperPi 32M @ 180 Mhz 2-2-2-5.

But my board or CPU is limited to 180 Mhz I cannot have 181 Mhz

But I tried outside so ambient air was ~ 0°C

 

This test here is with ambient air : 20°C

This time was 3-3-3-6 But I did 180 Mhz 2-2-2-5

Very useful, thank you! Is 2 x 128 MiByte enough for the Hwbot 2D benchmarks with a slim Win XP or will it slow down the system heavily so I have to go for 2 x 256 MiByte (or even more!?) to break the bottleneck? The last time I used a PC with 256 MiByte was 2004 or so. :o

Yes, 32M is likely the only 2D benchmark which might be limited here. Just thinking about a simple CW before starting 32M makes me feel sleepy already, hehe.

I've seen two 128 MiByte sticks which passed your 160 MHz test for cheap, so I think I will try these and look around in the CPU categories with SDRAM. Maybe I even have an untested 512 MiByte SDRAM stick in my closet. I can't remember exactly - have to look it up.

Wow, that's a major collection of SDRAM! The database of what you have there is impressive as well! I wish I had the organization skills to take notes like that. It would definitely help me out keeping track of what I have and what it can do. But alas, I'm lazy and unorganized and would probably make most of you pull your hair out if you saw how I have have things so-called "organized." When I'm deciding what to bench, I spend half my time digging through boxes, or drawers or random flat spaces I just set things down on just so I can find what I need to get started. I know what I have, it's just finding where I put it is my problem.

lol,

 

btw I have same sheets for CPU and GPU with the best batch/serial number written down, that if I bench the cpu again I know which one was the best.

 

For exemple here is the s370's Page:

ho and btw ''caca'' means ''pooh''
