Benchmarking

Systems Compared

The following tests are run at least 3 times to obtain a sustain score. The ASUS P4S533 is tested under two environments.

1) Best timings at CAS 2, 1T, DDR333, 2-2-2-4 RAM timings to reach the best speed. (async timing)
2) Turbo timings at CAS 2.5, 2T, DDR266, 3-3-3-6 RAM timings. (sync timing)

All above setup are set to operate with an AGP aperture size of 128MB so that consistent results can be used for comparison purposes.

Memory Benchmarks

SiSoft Sandra 2002

The infamous SiSoft Sandra 2002 is used to test out the memory benchmarks. Using the same processor on the Intel board and Asus board based on SiS645DX, the DDR results are still a distance away from the RAMBUS counterparts.

No doubt RAMBUS still reigns over the DDR even when we run it at DDR333. Wouldn't it be better if the test is done with PC-1066 RAMBUS. I think it definitely does. 

In fact, what happens in real world applications ? Let's continue and take a look at the various benchmarks in the next few pages.
