Hey guys. I've been doing a little experimentation on my new system.

I just built an abit AN8-SLI, Sapphire x850 xt, and a Athlon San Diego 3700.

I bought that board because i heard it can run with registered RAM, of which i have four 2GB 333Mhz sticks. Sadly, it won't recognise the full 8GB, but it does recognise 4GB. So i ran 3dmar05 with stock speeds and 4GB ram (single channel) and i got 6064 3d marks.

Ran test again with just 2GB and got 6054
Ran test again with 1GB 400Mhz un-registered ram and got 6088

So it looks like the registered ram is slightly slower because of the error checking. Still, not bad though, considering i got the ram for nothing.

Do those scores look about right?
