BIOSTAR P4TCA Pro i875 Canterwood
Review (3)
Benchmarking Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at. It is not difficult to see some manufacturers have increased their FSB to a high of 202 so that it will improve their benchmark scores. Do bear that in mind when comparing results. In our test, we run the 3.0 Ghz (P4 800MHZ) processor at 200Mhz FSB and with 2x256M Corsair DDR333 module at DDR400, CAS 2, 5-2-2 on the Canterwood boards. For stability, we set the voltage to 2.7v for the DDR. On the ABIT BH7 (i845PE), we ran it using a single stick of 512M Corsair XMS3500C2 at CAS 2, 5-2-2. PAT is enabled by default on all Canterwood boards. ASUS still leads in the memory benchmark scores. So far it's the only board that uses ICH5 instead of ICH5R. Int he comparison, the memory benchmark of the ABIT IC7-G seems very high compared to most boards that are based on ICH5R. BIOSTAR P4TCA Pro scores quite close to the Gigabyte 8KNXP Ultra. Looks like most of the Canterwood boards are not very far from one another in terms of memory benchmarks. |
