SiS 748 Ref Mainboard Review (3)
Bluetooth 2 June 2003

Benchmarking

Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at. The SiS 748 reference board is a bit on the high side. Do bear that in mind when comparing results of the boards as a higher FSB usually will impact the benchmarks in one way or another.

In the comparison, the SiS 748 Reference board is running 1 x 512M Corsair XMS3500C2 Stick at CAS 2, 5-2-2 while the EPoX 8RDA3+ is running 2 x 256M Corsair TWINX512-2700LLPT at CAS 2, 5-2-2. Looking at the benchmarks, it can be seen that Dual Channel DDR400 does have a better memory bandwidth over the single channel DDR 400.

If you remember a few weeks ago we posted a SiS 748 board scoring 3046. Well that was achieve on the ASrock K7S8X-E, we achieve 306x on the SiS 748 Ref board but it is on AXP3000+. It is a surprise to me because it seems that Sandra registers a higher bandwidth using AXP3000+ versus AXP3200+ (both are running 200Mhz FSB).
