We also wish to make a few comments regarding the various test systems, all of which we subjected to the same procedure: The DDR-SDRAM memory modules we used are special modules with a CAS latency of 2, which are currently not available over the counter. On the other hand, the AMD Athlon 1200 can only perform to capacity in conjunction with CL2. As a comparison with the other DDR platforms, we have included the benchmarks of the ALi Magik 1, VIA KT133A (SDRAM), SiS 735 and AMD 760 chipsets and depicted these in a different color (light green) in the diagrams.
