Too low!

[Blue]

Consider this:

Amd Athlon XP 2200+
Asus A7a266 Rev 1.03 Bios Ver.1012 with Ali Magick 1 M1647
2x256 DDR Pc2100 Crucial Cl2.5
Asus Geforce TI 4400
Sound Blaster Live!
Maxtor 40 Gig
Samsung 8.40 Gig
Panasonic DVD 16X
320 V PSU



This is what I get when I run Sisoft Sandra 2004


Memory Bandwidth Benchmark:


Reference Chipset/Memory: Ali Magick1 Pc2100 CL2.5 DDR

Ram Bandwidth Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE : 1854

Ram Bandwidth Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE : 1766


Current Chipset Memory:

Ram Bandwidth Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE : 1169

Ram Bandwidth Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE : 1122


Why is my score so low? It should be on par with the Reference Chipset/Memory!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, that's bad. I know that this chipset never had great memory performance, and that newer chipsets made it look even worse.

So, you think that i should change my mobo?

Isnt there anything that i can do to improve performance?

Someone might have some specific information that I can't recall, but I don't know of any fixes. I'll assume you have the latest BIOS version, etc.

The Bios is the latest...

Have you checked out the ram timings in the bios? They could be set really conservative.
