What's a good memory performance speed (mb/sec) these days?
I'm optimizing the memory and cpu clock settings on an Asus P5NSLI
motherboard and have been using memtest86+ (v 1.70). The board has a Core2 E6300 (1.86 ghz) clocked to 2.04 ghz (with stock cooler) and I'm getting about 3335 mb/sec for the memory speed on memtest. What sort of memory performance speeds are typical these days in mid to high-performance and tweeked systems? |

Download the free version of SiSoft Sandra from http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/ and the free version of Everest from http://www.lavalys.com/ and compare. Be aware that * different test programs can give different results * DDR2 memory generally available is not fast enough to run at the full FSB speed and a reduced CPU : Memory clock ratio must be used * larger L2 caches can give large performance increases, depending on the applications. There are free diagnostic programs in addition to SiSoft Sandra, and many many memory subsystem comparisons can be found at websites like Tom's Hardware, Anand Tech, X-bit Labs, Extreme Tech, Sharky Extreme ... Also a higher CPU speed increases the system computing power much more than smaller memory delay timings. Go for a significant CPU overclock before worrying about shortened memory delay timing. Core2 E CPUs are the most overclockable of all Intel CPU; easily capable of MUCH more than a 10% overclock (50% is easy, 75% has been done without exotic cooling.

That's because it's such an artificial measurement. Yousuf Khan -- There is no failure, only delayed success |

(message (Hello 'Yousuf)
(you :wrote n '(Fri, 16 Mar 2007 02:49:27 -0400)) ( YK It's hardly something most people care about, even enthusiasts. That's YK because it's such an artificial measurement. yes, artificial, but, nevertheless, quite important. if algorithm uses more-or-less big quantities of memory that does not fit in processor cache, and if it doesn't use some complex computations, it's highly likely that it will run as fast as memory bandwidth allows, less depending on clock speed of processor. thus, if you overclock your processor, but your memory is running slow, for some applications you can have poor performance ) (With-best-regards '(Alex Mizrahi) :aka 'killer_storm) "?? ???? ??????? ?????") |

All of those measurements depend on what software is measuring
it, and often is even dependent cache size. Exactly. The OP was referring to the memory speed as shown by Memtest86+ (v 1.70), which is likely unbuffered. For the record, my Biostar 965PT with E6400 at 8 x 380 with Micron DDR2-667 and 3-3-3-12 timings scores 3458 MB/s. I'm not sure which version of Memtest86+ I used as it came integrated in the BIOS and I failed to notice. |

My computer uses a neural net with gel packs, I get 600 yottabytes/sec.

The BIOS integrated Memtest86+ is version 1.65. For the hell of it, I cranked it up to 450 x 7 (4-4-4-12) and the bandwidth jumped to 4017 MB/s. |
