its showing memory benches for 4 other reference systems, besides the bench for your own system at the top.
sorry, I mean the actual banks of memory further down, bank 0, bank 1, bank 2, etc..
What version of Sandra is that?
win32 version 2004.10.9.133 i think thats the version
That's bizzare. Not only am I stumped on the 5 banks, but why is it showing a 16-bit interface with A64?
Your FSB is correct, and your memory timings look o.k., except that your ras to cas is 3, and it has been demonstrated that 2 gives a substantial boost in performance. However, 3 shouldn't cut you down to 1700meg/sec of bandwidth. That's like Via Kt266 w/pc2100 scores. Let's hope you just have uncovered a glitch in the software.
Maybe try finding Sandra 2003 and see if that measures more accurately.
i tried searching for a 2003 version, but they keep sending me back to the main site and it would try to download the 2004 version
yea there's some sort of problem there definitely. Do you have the chipset drivers installed? is your ram running async? check the bios
sorry slow reply to a post, but a couple of days ago, i opened the case and found the the problem, two of my ram sticks are pc2100 (i know its crap ram) and another is a 2700 stick and the frequency was locked at 133 mhz, I ordered two sticks of 512 corsair 3200 to remedy the problem.
update: got my 3200's in, big improvement!
this is with stock timings
