RightMark Memory Analyzer @ HTT: 240 MHz

Bumping the HTT to a 240 MHz configuration we left the ram timings and system voltages at default, the only thing changed over the 200 Mhz HTT results was the HTT over clock. Also we have to remember we are dealing with 2 x 1024 MB modules so the densities are going to be larger in capacity and indictive to larger modules are increased latencies. But we can tune these modules and adjust the timings to facilitate a better over clock and get some extra performance out of the modules. Here is what we get using RightMark Memory Analyzer under a 240 MHz HTT.

Once we set the Bus Speed to 240MHz we are actually over clocking the AMD Athlon64 3500+ from a default 2.2GHz to around 2.64GHz. From that point of view we gain 440MHz extra speed and performance on the CPU. This will certainly have an impact on the behavior of the Mushkin memory.

At a HTT of 240 MHz we can see the ram timings are stable at the same 3-4-3-8. The tRFC increases from 14 to 16 cycles on this over clock, however the speed and effective input and output increases significantly over the default 200 MHz HTT.

Float Copy Results

So how does the 240MHz speed have an impact on the results? Well I think you can see for yourself that these are only positive. We get an average of 3055MB/s bandwidth which is actually around 350MB/s over the default score on the Float Copy.

Float Scale Results

A similar result we get on the Float Scale results. With a bandwidth of 3173MB/s at 240MHz bus speed, it is just a pleasure to work with this memory. Again we notice an increase on the bandwidth and over all system performance. Also the minimum results have raised the bar when we compare it with the results at default settings.

Float Add Results

On the Float Add results - indeed the bandwidth has gone up from 3011MB/s at 200MHz to an impressive score of 3428MB/s at 240MHz. This Mushkin memory is just made to work at high speeds.

Float Triad Results

So what about the Float Triad, can you see the same trend on performance. Well we can only say, yes indeed! Once again a nice increase as well at 240MHz speed giving an average of 3301MB/s bandwidth. 

But, what about the synthetic and performance tests? If you take a look at the results then you can see that the Mushkin XP4000 is producing a score of 7093MB/s. Didn't we say that most memory we have had a look at gotten a score of about 6000MB/s. This just proves how good Mushkin has done their job in providing true performance memory.
