- Sisoft Sandra 2003 CPU Benchmarks SiSoftware
Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant)
is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most
of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about
your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

First
we will look at the SiSoft SANDRA scores. We ran the CPU Arithmetic
Benchmarks to show how the CPU progressed was we overclocked.

No surprises. As we moved from 2.4ghz to 3.22ghz the scores increased.
But what effect did this speed increase have on our RAM speeds? Keep
reading.

Wow! Look at that increase in memory bandwidth! And look at the speed
the RAM is running at. Rated for DDR500 it is running at DDR538 with
a 1:1 ratio. That is smoking! Now lets double check our results using
another benchmark, AIDA32.

- AIDA32 |
| AIDA32
is a system information and reporting tool that is one of the most
comprehensive that we have ever seen. It can generate text, HTML,
XML, and several other formats of reports about everything you never
wanted to know about your system hardware AND software. It also has
a very good memory benchmarking module. We will use this to validate
the amazing results we found in SiSoft SANDRA. |

| Well,
there you have it. Not the exact same numbers, but substantial increases
that are on the same level as the ones SiSoft SANDRA measured. Now
that we know this RAM is fast, let’s take a look at how it impacts
overall system performance. |
