CUV4X-D Memory Tweaking Benchmarks by Black Viper

Introduction

As I was wandering around the BIOS settings, I thought that I would see what the difference to different memory settings would make. I already knew that "less is better" when it comes to the CAS settings and most memory timings...but how about "DRAM Prefetch?"

I ran the 3DMark2001 on the following configuration multiple times while rebooting in between each one. The table on the next page gives a summary of my findings and the following few pages gives a brief explanation of each run. Want to know the differences between running "Single" and "Dual" CPU with this Benchmark? Read on and you will find out soon enough...

I am still on converting the entire domain over to WordPress. As such, things look a lot differently then they have for many years. Hang in there... all will be back to normal soon enough (after lots of hours on my part).
