I am curious how everybody else stacks up with RAM. Aida 32 has the memory benchmark and I ran the read and write tests and my machine did pretty good, hows yours?

READ 3234 mb/s
WRITE 1391 mb/s

Intel 850e P-4 2.4Ghz. 512mb RDRAM

P.S. how reliable is Aida 32s Benchmark?

Aida32 is ok? but i hardly trust any benchmarks...

nothing can beat my system...:x :r :D

read 1030MB/s
write 320MB/s

its a PIII 1gig, 384 sd.

lol:p

gigabyte kt400
512 2700 ram cl 2.5(donno name brand)

2097 MB/s read
679 MB/s write.

ummmm why is my write so low? i tried it twice... i'm right in the grouping with all the pc2100 chips.... i'm running at 166 :\

also my score was about 500 points lower on read and 200 lower on write before i updated the program...

I have 2x256mb Samsung PC2700 @ DDR400.

READ: 2826MB/s
WRITE: 1175MB/s

Aida32 groups me as one up PC2700, but one below dual PC1066.

hey im using 512 pc2700 but only got read 480 and write 300 ?!?
whats wrong ?

im using p4 1.7 , sis645 mobo

is that possible ?!!??! i see no improvements from 256 sdram i had only 30 mb/s gain.

and the memory speed in SPD of aida32 is only 166 mhz ?

Im not sure i trust Aida's memory benchmerkers but with 2x256mb Crucial PC2700 @ 173Mhz (5-2-2-2.5) i get:

Agree with Bigjakk, don't trust those benchmarks.

is it the same as Sisoft Sandra Memory Bandwith Benchmark ??
:confused:

because i got 433 mb/s in sisoft sandra
and 500 mb/s in AIDA32 for read and 300 for write ..

crappy although i use 512 pc2700 on p4 1.7 ghz with p4s5a v1.5 mobo. i think its the mobo :r

Hello

I'm only getting

read speed 392MB/s
write speed 109MB/s

I have an Intel Celeron-S, 1200 MHz and have 192 MB SDRAM

Are these speeds normal? My computer feels very slow in comparison to other computers of the same spec. that I have used - I don't know what I can do to solve this

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jamie

Hey ND:
My set up is a XP 3200 on a K7N2 delta ILSR mobo, and same memory. Run AIDA again and see if you get the same marks.
BTW have you tried oc'ing?? If so what settings, what can youe get.

Welcome to sysopt Jamie60509, but your scores will probably reflect the memory type you have, what is it SDRAM?

my scores are PC3200 running at 370mhz gives,

2650 and 1171

I got a question though.

In the attachment

Isn't the bus width suppost to be 128bit it suppost to be in dual
channel

Mine says 64bit

What do ya'lls say?

64bit is a width of an EV6 DEC DDR bus AMD began using with Athlon processors. nForce2 can run dual-channel memory, 64x2=128bit memory bus :t

sorry, not my home court.;) P4 2.4c, FSB@ 258, MEM @ 2-3-3-5 w/ 5/4, P4P800D, Everything that can be water cooled is.

Aida like sandra and the others is a synthetic bench. i.e. not real. memtest86 gives a true memory mbs throughput reading. Thats thats the only number that really matters. My memtest # is 2576.

how long does it take memtest to run? Grandpadan, i switched it off after about an hour last time.

I don't know the exact time(I'll get it if needed)but about 7-9 minutes.

UPDATE: 8:38 with no errors.

Quick test takes about 30min, full test about 8 hours for 512MB DDR. It depends, on how much memory you have.

memtest, 30min.? my experience is that if memtest86 doesn't catch anything on the first pass it isn't going to. I've built several P4 "c" series systems and have yet to see memtest take longer than about 10 min.:confused:

What kind of memory tests are you doing? It only takes me like 2 min to get my results, and im using 768mb of ram.

Edit sorry bout that, had to read up a little higher, i need to do a memtest86 i guess, so i can see how long it takes me.

Maybe I always had 3 passes running when I used QuickTest.

The bandwith test doesnt take long. I meant the error test.

Not sure I follow. is quick test a setting? I boot memtest from floppy and then let it run for a pass or two for error detection. It will give a mbs throughput reading right away.

memtest86 has two different tests: QuickTest and FullTest.

Because you did the full test. It is normal, that the full test atkes hours.

ok, cheers MrBurns, I was just a little worried that others seemed very quick.Thx.

what is the point of a full test?

fizur2002

10-31-2003, 02:13 PM

Is there a way you can run memtest86 without booting up on a floppy?

MrBurns

It makes more different tests. The quick test only makes one test. So if your memory is faulty, there is a bigger chance that memtest86 reports an error than w/ the quick test.

Originally posted by fizur2002

I dont think so: there are no files on the floppy that are visible in Windows/DOS. They can only be read when you boot from the floppy. Also memtest86 uses its own OS afair, so you wont be able to copy the files using any kind of OS.

Edit: Ther would be a possibilty to run memtest86 w/o a floppy: use a small partition (1.4MB is enough, but I doubt, that such a small partition is possible) of your HD, and use something like Isobuster to copy the image from the floppy to the partition. Than you can set up your BIOS to boot from this partition.

My understanding is that most errors will be found with the quick test. See following info from their website: "Test 8 [Block move, 512 moves, cached]

This is the first extended test. This is the same as test #5 except that we do more memory moves before checking memory. Errors from this test are not used to calculate BadRAM patterns.
Test 9 [Moving inv, 8 bit pat, no cache]

By using an 8 bit pattern with cache off this test should be effective in detecting all types of errors. However, it takes a very long time to execute and there is a low probability that it will detect errors not found by the previous tests"

Yes, you are right, the moving inv test always is by far the longest.
