Cas latency test on Intel chipsets : big or small improvement

[Leeghoofd]

Lo lads ( and gals),

a short description why I started this thread... a while back I read lower latency doesn't bring that much on Intel chipsets... we are curently comparing the P5Q dlx and Biostar P45, P5Q dlx hardly gets a boost in ram performance with lower latency ram, the Biostar however does big time... a bios flaw as both mobo's use the same chipset ?

So if you got a few minutes of your spare time plz try the following and post ya results here plz... (a note this is not a show off how good ram bandwith or low latency is on your particular setup)

A test at C4 and C5 latency eg 4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-15 with all the other sub settings the same... CPU speed and FSB don't matter much... Post an everest bandwith test, superpi,... and include a MemSet in the screenie... just to see how much or little the gain is...

Plz don't mess with any settings and just alter the latency and keep other values like PL and co in line...

I start off with my setup with 400FSB ram at 1066Mhz PL7 : I needed to alter the subtimings as the board set lower sub values for the C5 run...



Thx for any contribution and plz don't just vote, add proof too...
