Nice review there of the 4000. Thats what I ordered today to go with my 144 opty.

I went for the zx as i dont need the high htt..... glad i did too
Just did the 32M superpi 23m 19s now that means very little to me ......Is it good/bad/average???????
I don't think that is a fair statement to make. Bandwidth has been show to make virtually no difference on an A64 seeing as the memory is accessed directly from the CPU's on-die memory controller. Also, I fail to see how bandwidth of RAM plays such a huge issue with SuperPI which is known to favour timings (as games also show).Dirk said:That's kinda slow when you have a CPU running phase @ 3360Mhz. At 3000Mhz my 32M time is only 1m 08s slower @ 24m 27s. You could shave off two minutes if your RAM were running 300Mhz. Benches scale better with increased HTT as long as you can keep the timings fairly tight.
The FSB WILL make a difference, the RAM frequency will not
smids said:I can't agree with your findings then, as this has been extensively tested as well as being theoretically sound. How a lower HTT with 1:1 was faster than a higher HTT is anyone's guess unless you had to dip below 1000Mhz HTT bus speed due to multi's in which case you cannot conclusively state your point as not all the variables were kept constant.
RAM is purely about bandwidth vs commands per clock and refreshes within that given clock. High frequency on the RAM only means greater information can be obtained per unit time and this can be matched by having more commands executed for a lower amount of information (in a very basic sense).
It was very poorly explained but that is how I believe it works.Scoobie Dave said:Im with you all the way on this Smids.
