P5GDC deluxe - one of best...
I just put it in my PC with 3.0 GHz P4/64.
1. Much better respone compared to A64 3200+. Much faster switching between programs, programs run faster if more applications started together. 2. In tests, my P4 is slower compared to A64 but as stated above it is a faster for me as I use office applications and encoding. Games don't run much slower to be noticable. I can see that only in tests like 3DMark etc. DVD to HDD drops from 25 minutes on A64 to 14 minutes on P4. 3. Sound - almoust a perfect. Clear and vivid, MP3 reproducts much better than any onboard sound or Creative soundcard. 4. Memory read - A64 = 4.800 Mb/s P4=5.500 Mb/s 5. Temperature A64 = 32°C idle, 45°C load P4 = 38°C idle, 58°C load I turned on Asus Qfan and I have low noise level. |

You should choose your platform based on the expected application set. P4 is good for office applications and some gaming, while Athlon64 allows the fastest gaming platforms to be constructed. If you work in a large business, you can sometimes get loaner systems for a couple of days, to do benchmarking. Professionals don't rely on magazine articles or USENET chit-chat when selecting systems, and benchmarking on real live hardware is the only way to know which platform is the right one for a dedicated application. With respect to your memory benchmarks, the best figures I've seen for overclocked systems, are around 9000 MB/sec for _both_ the Athlon64 and the P4 LGA775. In other words, it is all a question of how hard you want to turn the memory clock knob, and how exotic a cooling system the computer is equipped with. Things get even more interesting if you look at dual or quad processor systems - the highest Sandra I've seen yet on the web, is 12000MB/sec for a dual Opteron. A dual Xeon will have a hard time matching that. It is a lot like drag racers - somebody always owns a faster one :-) The fastest core clock I've seen recently, is 7.2GHz, using what I believe is a three stage cooler. Imagine how fast you could scroll a Microsoft Word document with that processor :-))) Paul |
