Hey guys, I just got a 2gb kit for my current system:
Gigabyte GA-7vt600-P
Athlon XP 2600+ Barton
ATI AIW 9800pro
I originally had 2x512mb Kingston CAS3 ram. Everything stock (fsb 166mhz, memory running 1:1) , I get a a 3Dmark '03 score of 5528. I just installed 2x1024mb Mushkin XP4000 Black Series (fsb 166mhz, memory running 1:1), and I'm scoring 2880 on average. I've tried simply tightening the timings, but no improvement. I don't want to overclock or anything, I am just wondering why the new memory is underperforming in games?
I am going to use this memory on my newer system, but decided to test it out on the old one, just to see if doubling the memory will increase performance in synthetic and real world benchmarks. And it seems to be doing really bad. Can someone please explain? Looking for quick simple answers or links to guides that might help, cuz I suck at searching. THanks.
