Intel Pentium 4 2.4G 533 Northwood and D850EMD2 (i850E) (7)
Overclocker 7 May 2002

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.

Benchmark Tests Run

Quake 3 Demo 001

Quake3 is a well known game and it has been well accepted as a defacto benchmarking software for testing gaming performance. In this test, we benchmarked the Demo001 at 800x600x32 (Hi Quality) and discovered some interesting results.

If you look at the benchmark results, we can see that the DDR platform based on the SiS645DX seems to be better. We were surprised by this result and we tried to find out the cause but we are unable to identify what has cause this low result. The only possibility that I could find is the AGP Aperture Size of 128MB isn't set correctly in the registers on the Intel board. It could just need a BIOS update to solve the bug if there is any.
