From: xxx_ on 9 Dec 2007 10:09 I am on a PC with Pentium 4 3GHz with HT technology, 512MB of Kingston PC3200 (400MHz). When I look at the Front Side Bus (FSB), Memory bus properties and the chipset bus properties, I notice that they are not operating at its effective clock. May I know how to get them running at its effective clock?

From: xxx_ on 9 Dec 2007 10:46 I actually have 2 x 512MB of Kingston PC3200, not one.

The front side bus of the processor, takes four data samples per clock cycle, which is called QDR or Quad Pumped. A popular term for this is FSB800, and is correct for an 865 chipset and processor. The only way to make it go higher is by overclocking. Everything here looks correct. The memory input clock is 200MHz. The memory controller samples data twice per clock cycle, which is why the memory is called DDR. That gives DDR400 rate. A DIMM is 8 bytes wide, and 400 * 8 = 3200MB/sec, and is why the memory is PC3200. When two memory sticks are operating in dual channel, you get 3200 * 2 = 6400MB/sec. The processor front side bus (FSB800) is also 8 bytes wide. 800 * 8 = 6400MB/sec The system is balanced, and everything is in order. Paul

When a SATA drive is connected to a SATA port on the card, the controller will POST and list the SATA drive as using UDMA mode 5 or 6, but that is *cosmetic* and may be ignored. Use a benchmark performance test to confirm that the attached SATA drives are running faster than PATA drive specifications. If using a PATA drive on a Maxtor or other mfr. combo SATA/PATA card, the UDMA mode listed will accurately list which UDMA mode is being used." If you test with a benchmark utility, the info you want, is the "burst transfer rate". That measured parameter, tells you what mode the cable is in. This tool can measure burst and sustained rates, but you want the burst info, to prove it is running at full SATA rate. The 865 uses the original SATA spec, so the best you could achieve on a burst would be 150MB/sec. (I still don't have any SATA drives here, so cannot test my system to give you a typical number to expect.) http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach As an example, there is a picture here of a HDTach test run with a SATA 150MB/sec drive. The achieved burst speed is 116.2MB/sec, so there is some overhead. The 116MB/sec number is faster than UDMA5. http://images.planetamd64.com/pyr0/DFI_SLI-D/Tests/HDTach/SATA1%20HDTach.jpg This is an example of a SATA 300MB/sec drive, tested on a more modern chipset. In this case, they got 221.5MB/sec, so again, due to overhead, you don't tend to see the whole 300MB/sec theoretical limit. This transfer is now well above UDMA6. Your chipset doesn't have a 300MB/sec SATA interface, so you wouldn't expect to see this burst transfer rate. http://images.planetamd64.com/pyr0/DFI_SLI-D/Tests/HDTach/SATA2%20HDTach.jpg On IDE (ribbon cable drives), your Southbridge does have a known limitation. On an Intel IDE, the read speed maximum is 100MB/sec on the ribbon cable, and on write transfers, it is 88.9MB/sec max. Intel doesn't support UDMA6, and due to how the write strobe is generated by the chip, is restricted to less than full UDMA5 on write. Paul |
