I have the memory benchmark, but I'm at work, and didn't bring the numbers with me. Memory bandwidth is almost entirely independant of the processor. This is still a Via Apollo pro based motherboard, so the bandwidth should be pretty similar to most Apollo mobo's: Bad.

If I recall correctly the numbers were something like 480/420MB/s. If those seem completely wrong, then perhaps I don't recall correctly.

If the Iwill board had worked like it was supposed to, memory bandwidth would have been higher because it is based on the Apollo Pro266(DDR).

Right after I got the Tyan board I did some quick benchmarks testing the P3-700's with both DDR and SDR memory. The P3's really don't benefit from higher memory bandwidth because the front side bus becomes the limitation anyways.

i hope 480/420MB/s is wrong. thats too low imo, well i expect abit higher. my celery 633@950 is pulling 540/424MB/s

It's not your celery that is producing those numbers. Memory bandwidth is a product of your chipset, not you processor. What chipset does you motherboard use??

Yup. Chipsets play a major role in this sorta stuff. ;)

hello Dawgs,
Via is not the only choice for running dual-tualatins ! Serverworks got some fine chipsets for dual-tualatin-pimpin´ Smile

but boards are hard to get...compaq is using them in their proliant-servers...

have a nice day...

I think you meant to link the Thunder HEsl-T (S2688) ... the [url=]Thunder HEsl (S2567)[/url] doesn't do Tuallie's ... w Big Smile

is Via a bad chipset or something when running seti?

There are no known problems with VIA and SETI ... I'm very happy with mine (as are most people) ...
