Let me know if you experience any problems.:t

Not bad, it didnt seem to get on with Mozilla like, and it would be a real help to those of us runnign 'irregualar' FSB's, if there was a manual FSB entry and calculation, rather than the standard sets of 200/266/333/400/800, other than that though, excellent...prolly the best ive used bar Sisoft Sandra as it actually takes into account FSB's higher that 266Mhz

Whatever script the person used didn't work in Mozilla for a fact...:(

The VBScript I wrote it in requires an shdoclc.dll-cored browser (e.g. MSIE 6) to work 100%.

Perhaps in the future, I'll rewrite it with JavaScript 1.2 conforming to Mozilla's 'standard.' The problem with Mozilla and other Netscape-like browsers is that they deviate from the HTML 4 spec - and sorry all MS-haters, IE hasn't deviated from one.

Not that Mozilla is a bad browser, just a buggy core, and don't get me wrong, the netscape mozilla core has gotten a LOT better since the 4.7 days, but still needs a lot of work.

All said, I'll heed the advice for high FSB/multiplier entry granularity, Jakk :cool:

Just viewed it in mozilla... ick! No adherence to established visibility CSS.

I would recommend that all view it in IE until I find a workaround to this rather glaring problem (graphical glitches aside, the PR Won't show!!)



jakk - when viewing it in IE, did it show the standard set of boxes and did the processor image change upon selection? Also, did the PR show up? It all works for me in IE, but I just wanted to hear others' testimonies... thanks. :t

The prob for me here is that IE won't open links

Nice page actually. Don't have time to troubleshoot it but did find that if you use 2.2 instead of 2,200 or 2200 you get 320+ instead of 3200. Barton at 400 FSB @ 2.2 ghz was the example. Otherwise great, just if you plan on posting it up more prominently you may want to specify using the full mhz number not the ghz rating (even though it says megahertz - when you have a flat number most people are just gonna go 2.2 or 2 or whatever. Minor problem though - and if it's there and I didn't see it, well I just tested it, didn't read the whole page, so call me a fool and laugh at me. :)

Great job though.

I spent the last 30 min tinckering lol, great site, can't wait for the AMD Athlon 64 6000+ :D :D :D

Good stuff cV, I especially like the little graphic of the currently selected processor :cool:
May I suggest a change of textbox colour though, the cursor gets a little lost - a minor point, but I found it a tad irritating.

akk - when viewing it in IE, did it show the standard set of boxes and did the processor image change upon selection? Also, did the PR show up?

Yup, one little niggle though, i entered my Mhz as 2333 (which it is) and then for experiments sake inputed the FSB firstly as 333Mhz, then again as 200Mhz FSB, for both the PR rating remained at 2900+, now i know i cant get an exact figure but by my estimates a Tbred B @ 2.3Ghz+ on 200Mhz FSB should be hitting over XP3200+, has some sort of cap been put on the tbred rating level ?

Somthings not right with it. useing XP's default I.E. (no update)
It says my barton 2500+ at 2.10gig is a 240+? WTF is that? And if it means 2400+ I wanna know how oclocking a 2500+ drops its rating. hehe lol. With a 400fsb it says a 400+???? Weird. Its really running dead on as a 3100+ by amd specs. 100mhz more with 200fsb is 3200+.:t

Yeah, as SS mentioned it only likes it when you input MHz. It'll be easy to rewrite it to accept GHz.

P4gamer, I think you tried the GHz input, with the MHz input on 400 FSB it puts it as 3000+:

(Note adding just 30MHz makes it a 3100+)

All other advice heeded.

I decided not to inflate the PRs of tbreds on 400MHz FSB, as it would make their PR equal to Bartons. I might calibrate it just a little bit (100MHz bump to make it more reasonable, after all, Tbreds get more of a boost from higher FSBs than bartons do).

The only problem here is that I round the ratings to the nearest hundred. I could give a rating rounded to the nearest one if that is wanted as well.

Yeah, I noticed that myself, but haven't gotten around to fixing it - It's an easy one though. This calc was originally written on an independent page, and I copied and pasted the code into one of the template pages for my site. The external CSS is coded to make all <inputs> have dark green/slate-ish backgrounds, and while that's fine for code samples in the programming sections of the site, the cursor doesn't work too well with it for text input.

Don't worry. It'll be changed soon. :D

"P4gamer, I think you tried the GHz input, with the MHz input on 400 FSB it puts it as 3000+:"

Yep I did. my bad.

"(Note adding just 30MHz makes it a 3100+)"

So a 3100+ is really 2130mhz then. Not 2100? O.K. I see. Why 200fsb though? I think there is a 3100+ 200fsb model but its rare OEM or somthing isnt it. Bartons are 333fsb till the 3200+ model.

"I decided not to inflate the PRs of tbreds on 400MHz FSB, as it would make their PR equal to Bartons. I might calibrate it just a little bit (100MHz bump to make it more reasonable, after all, Tbreds get more of a boost from higher FSBs than bartons do)."

True. But problem with hat is AMD credits the barton pr rating being more due to the 512 L2 cache. Tbred's dont have that no matter the fsb.

How about adding a calculator or table that provides the MHz/GHz for a PR rating to the site?

A lot of newbie prospective buyers would probably like to know what the speed of the processor is instead of the PR rating.
