Aquamark? Any News

[GFreeman]

I'm sorry i didn't explain very good. Your ram could be running on 5/4 ratio. (DDR333) This means it runs on 200 (fsb) x 1,66= 333 Mhz instead of 400 Mhz like it should be on stock speeds. 8,5K is pretty okay for stock speeds without enabling the memory accelerator option. But yeah you should be close to the 10K cpu barrier at stock speeds!

Be sure you run your ram set to DDR400 (1/1 ratio in other words in sync with the cpu) so your ram speed will be 200x2= 400 Mhz.

Maybe it's also an idea to look at updating some chipset drivers etc.

Also check out what your processor load is when you're running idle in windows.

If that's not helpfull too... then i need to know some specs about your motherboard. Can't really remember what hardware you got. Will read some manuals then. Then i could do some suggestions about the way to configure it, so you will get your old scores back.

EDIT:

A very simple way to verify if HT is enabled is just to start the task manager. (CTRL + DEL) Look at the Performance tab. You should see two fysical cpu's.

Okay. That 8,5k cpu score is with memory acceleration enabled, but the fsb is at 200. I should get about 9,5k like that. So if it is at 5/4 ratio, how do i change it back to the normal ratio? I seriously doubt that, because i'm pretty sure you can't change the ratio in this bios, and i would never touch that since i have no idea what it is. I have flashed my bios to the newst version, and i have updated to the newest motherboard drivers aswell. Maybe there is a new one at guru3d now though.

My processor is at between 0-1% load when it's idling. My motherboard is a P4P800-X, Intel P4 Prescott 3,2 ghz, Tagan TG480-U01 PSU, Leadtek 6800GT, 1 gig kingston ram running dual. My stock aquamark score should be around 61k.

Okay here we go. Let's verify a few options you've set in your system bios. Just to be sure you are using the right configuration. Use the configuration as suggested below.

[Jumperfree configuration/Advanced]

- AI Overclocking Tuner: manual
- CPU Frequency: should be 200 at stock speeds. You can change your fsb here. Default value= 200
- Dram Frequency: DDR400
- AGP/PCI Frequency: Auto(Means this is set to fixed to improve stability while overclocking)

[Jumperfree configuration/Chipset]Advanced Chipset Settings

- Configure DRAM Timings by (Default Value=SPD= 3-3-3-8) Tightning these timings a bit means you get for about 5-10% extra performance
- Memory Acceleration Mode: Enable

Good luck!

The taskmanager only shows cpu usage and memory swapfile usage.

EDIT: Thanks G! I'll make sure i have that in my bios.

Check out my new message above.. sry for the editing all the time

EDIT:

I assume you're running at least Windows XP? Windows 2000 doesn't support the Hypertreading feature.

[Martinx]

Wow, what windows xp version are you using? I love that skin.

AHhh, there we have the problem!!! I don't have two. It's only one!!

[g-a-m-e]

ok noobs..., we really need to get on a server sometime soon .... Hopefully we will see some more formiliars gradually and play with a bunch more often as time passes ...

Martinx, ill be on MSN tomorrow afternoon/evening iff all goes well ....maybe ill talk to you then so we could later on destroy Freeman on Battlefield ......

Check out this server first iff you are going to play from now on, maybe in time we will see some formilar faces there ... :*** EA official europe 297 ***

* ip: 87.248.192.67* (gotta start somewhere...)

People from USA should be able to play on it with a ping less then 100 also..

And guys, please dont worry, ... i'll go easy on you .... (remember that iff you happen to ocasionally frag me, its all on purpose)

oh, and sorry for the hi-jack

do continue ...

[Martinx]

Great. I usually get 10-50 ping in those servers. By the way, have you changed account? I still use ic|Procomboz. My plain Procomboz account is totally ruined. The stats suck.

EDIT: Anyways gordon, read my above post

Haha! Hihihihi! Woehoehoehoe hahahhahaha!!! Hehe yeah i'm sure i'm gonna get killed hahahahaahaa! Okay Martinx let's kill "the Game" haha just a joke!
