I think that's a little low for that fsb/timing, what's the best bios for 8RDA+ ??

8rda+ has a performance bug with multiplier under 10!!!
try multi 10 or higher.
with 225 dc and multi 10 i have 3500 mb's!!!
Henry, would you consider those score about right if they were 5% higher? You take about a 5% hit on memory performance for having the multiplier set below 10. That may be your problem.
As far as what's the best BIOS for the 8RDA+, can't say since I have a non-plus.
BTW, nice oc of the FSB.
Epox 8RDA v1.1 | Athlon XP 2100+ AIUHB 0301 @ 2205 mhz (200x11) @ 1.8v | Radeon 9800 NP @ 378/324 | 2x256 MB of Corsair XMS PC3200 CAS2 | Maxtor 80gig 5400 HD | Linksys LNE100TX | SLK-800 w/42.5 cfm Sunon 80mm fan | Antec SX830 w/Antec SL400 PSU
For the best BIOS out, I have found the newest one to be the best. I have prettyy much tested them all and the newest one has given my the best stability and best memory bandwidth.
8RDA3129.BIN
*Still has the issue when using 10.5x and below though, just not as bad as the previous BIOS's*

Hmmm......so < 10 multiplier is the problem. Time to buy a new Tbred B i think
Thanks guys !!

Yeahh...i know that bandwith is low, even with KX7 @ 215 i can get :

check it out!!
You guys are forgetting something as to why his score is lower than yours....
SisoftSandra's Memory benchmark is heavily CPU dependant...
His chip is at 1955mhz.... While the other guys are in the 2500mhz range
I know this because before I got my XP2100B I was running at 1925mhz and had around 3055/2800.... Now I'm running at 2354mhz and my score jumped to around 3150/2900....
Same FSB, same timings... Only thing that changed was the CPU speed and also the lower multiplier has an even greater hit on memory performance...
213x9 2.5,3,3,6
213x11 2.5,3,3,6
Intel i5 3570k || Sapphire HD 7870 OC CrossFireX || Asrock Z77 Extreme4 || 8GB DDR3 G.SKILL || Seasonic X750

X Men SS great result!!
It's rock solid?
Are you sure you have the ram in the correct slots?
1+2 or 1+3 are for dual.... 2+3 are not.
<10 ( or 10.5 I forget) def. has a bug in it.
Zen2 Has brought AMD back!
muzz : Yup, alredy tried 1-2 and 1-3, same result
X_Men : Nice bandwith there
But check out spaceboy bandwith :
spaceboy : 11 x 233 ----> 3638/3448
X_Men : 10.5 x 230 ----> 3519/3252
100+ / 200+ mb different with only 3 mhz higher fsb ??
10.5 multi bug ? or coz higher cpu clock ??

SuperPI, PCMark2002, 3DMark03 all run w/o a problem ... and the NB is still cooled with the stock crappy alu heatsink + 50mm fan
Thanks, Henry

xmen uses ss mode this is the reason!!!
the bug happens with multiplier under 10!!!!!!
Maybe both ... Also he's running DC DDR which increses the Float score ...Originally posted by Henry

Yup, the bug is for multiplier under 10.
