    Talking Sandra 2007 thinks my FX-60 is Intel DDR2

    After flashing my DFI NF4 UT SLI-DR R.AB0 to 406BTA bios i managed to get upclock dividers in play. The difference in super pi times is very noticeable i.e.

    Super Pi v1.50

    FX-60

    3416Mhz (17x200HTT)
    DDR400 divider
    200mhz 2-2-2-5 memory = 22min 36.343s

    vs

    3300Mhz (15x220HTT)
    DDR466 upclock divider
    253mhz 2-2-2-5 memory = 22min 20.703s

    But Sandra 2007 Lite must have a bug as it must think my FX-60 @15x220HTT DDR466 upclock with mem @253mhz 2-2-2-5 is an intel DDR2 system as it's reporting crazy buffered and unbuffered bandwith over 11k and 4k respectively! LOL

    Buffered


    Unbuffered

    Sandra's mem bandwidth bench was never really relevant in the first place because it's purely synthetic. The program approximates what it thinks your bandwidth "should be" as opposed to what it really is. Here's a quick unbuffered test I just ran on a 2gb set
