Vista Tutorial - What RAM rates a 5.9???

Using


OCZ MMOC280C44GRHK 4GB(2GBX2)DDR2 800MHz PC2-6400 4-4-4-15 2.1V (OCZ2RPR800C44GK)

get 5.9

My ram was a 5.9, and i think it was like that even when i juat had 4 gigs, but now i have 8.

That's really wierd that you only got 16861 in 3dMark06. A friend over on THG forums has a Q6600 at 3.6 and only a single GTS G92 and when he has them pushed to the extreme, he gets over 17k. Seems SLI would obliterate his score, especially with 2 ultras.

Since I bumped the Chipset up I ran Mark06 again and got 17,867.
I think that with nVidia's lates drivers they've not got the split Screen rendering dow yet.
It defaults to single GPU and when you select force split Frame or alternate Frame rendering it warns that it's not a good setting for performance.

Maybe in a few more Months things will be better especially when Vista SP-1 comes out.

I llok at where my Mark06 score is and the systems above mine get into Water cooling etc. I know that with stock cooling the 8800 Ultra gets VERY HOT! I shut down one thest when they got over 72c I could just see the GPU smoking and poping, LOL!

All I know is that my Rig plays games and runs my video editing software flawlessly so I'm to too concerned with Mark06 scores.

Mine has a WEI rating of 5.8. This is 2GB (2 x 1GB) of DDR400 (PC1-3200) running in dual channel mode with an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ on an NVidia NForce4 motherboard at standard clock frequencies (automatic settings in the BIOS). A lot depends on your system, and whether you are using single or dual channel mode. The AMD processors also have the advantage of having the memory controller built-in to the processor, which means that data transfer to and from the memory takes place over a dedicated bus rather than over the system bus.

I have 4x 2GB ram modules of Mushkin ddr2 5-5-5-18 (800MHz) value ram, going at 667MHz dual channel mode, and I got a 5.9.

Motherboard (Msi p35 platinum) runs @1333 MHz fsb, with oc'ed q6600 @ 3GHz.

I have Corsair XMS2 DDR2 6400 2gig x 2 in my computer and get 4.5 for memory on the vista score. I think i have 1.8 volts going to the RAM also and havent made any adjustments (just using default) settings, does it sound like i havent got it set up properly?

this is mine and i get 5.9 score

ive got 4gb crucial ballistiz tracer...its overkill though...probably score a 10 if it went that high. best bang for your buck though. didnt have any problems installing it and its very stable. I would probably go with 2gb of 800mhz ram if you want the best performance/price ratio. i recommend crucial, gskill, kingston or OCZ.

i think so. 2 gigs alone should get you to 5.9. try upping the voltage, make sure the speed is at 800mhz, and tighten the timings (start with -1 each)
