Benchmarks

Tests were carried out at both stock speeds and 172Mhz FSB so that we can see the potential of the board, using the following tests.

  • Sandra 2003 (CPU and Memory)
  • PCMARK2002
  • Seti (OcUk benchmark)
  • PiFast

Sandra 2003

133 FSB (Stock)

172 FSB (Overclocked)

Just look at that memory score!

PCMARK 2002

133 FSB(Stock)

176 FSB(Overclocked)

SETI

The Seti test was only run at overclocked settings as it takes such a long time to run each test. The OcUk benchmark WU was completed in 2 hours 19 minutes. This compares very well and is better than the Asus P4T with 4200 Rimms. It is only beaten by some of the highly overclocked AMD XP2700 processors. Remembering that we are using a 2.4 P4 this performance is fantastic. How far would the time drop with a faster P4?

PiFast

A standard test was run using the Chudnoudky method with 10,000,000 and FFT at 1024.
