now try 8x450 1:1 cl4
then try 9x400 1:1 cl4
then if you can, try 9x400 4:5 cl4 <-- may need more vnb

Cool, I gave it a run at both 400mhz fsb and 450mhz fsb.

Here are the results and can you please tell me which is better? I assume the lower number Access Latency?

450mhz FSBX8
Access latency 66.9 ns (271 clocks)

Read datarate (INT) 6463 Mb/s
Write datarate (INT) 2553 Mb/s

Read datarate (MMX) 7031 Mb/s
Write datarate (MMX) 2563 Mb/s

Read datarate (SSE) 7196 Mb/s
Write datarate (SSE) 8069 Mb/s


400mhz FSBX9

Access latency 58.9 ns (212 clocks)

Read datarate (INT) 6580 Mb/s
Write datarate (INT) 3092 Mb/s

Read datarate (MMX) 7216 Mb/s
Write datarate (MMX) 3102 Mb/s

Read datarate (SSE) 7104 Mb/s
Write datarate (SSE) 7136 Mb/s



I mostly game so if you think its worth my while to lower my FSB down to 400mhz with a 9X I will
