I have got the computer with the Via Apollo Pro 133 chipset. My CPU is Pentium III 1000@1050 Mhz. My motherboard is Shuttle AV11. I have got 384 Mb of PC133@140 SDRAM Memory. My graphics card is Geforce 3 Ti 200. I installed 4-way Memory Interleave Enabler. Is my computer much slower than similar configuration on BX chipset? |
throughput, but IIRC it supports ATA66 instead of only ATA33
on BX, so it might regain some performance when used more
recent hard drives which can easily exceed ~33MB/s.

In Sisoft Sandra 2003 memory benchmark shows about 1000 Mb/s (fpu and alu tests). Everest shows the read from memory about 1070 Mb/s and write about 200 Mb/s. I have got the short memory access time in Everest (103.1 ns). This is similar to DDR memory. If I insert the memory chip to the first socket in the motherboard the PC133 Memory have got the erros eg. Stop errors in Windows XP. |
Memtest86+ for a few hours before booting the operating
system.

What way can I also tweak my computer? Is 7000 3DMark good result on my configuration? |
fairly good, mostly determined by the video card but you
might get 1000 or so points higher if it were running on a
later era AGP platform.
How much work is it worth to tweak such an old system? If
performance matters a lot it may be time to replace it.

about benchmarks. The only question is does this computer do what you
ask of it?
It's a p3, you won't run the latest games. But games that come out at
around the time the motherboard was manufactured should be OK. It'll
browse the internet, and do word processing as good as any other
computer.
I think you would do well to undo your overclocking, given the
stability problems with the first ram slot. It's an aging system, but
if you keep it running in spec, it'll do for years to come. I can
guarantee you won't notice the difference between 1000mhz and 1050mhz.

On some tasks it may be a little slower due to lower memory throughput, but IIRC it supports ATA66 instead of only ATA33 on BX, so it might regain some performance when used more recent hard drives which can easily exceed ~33MB/s. How much the memory througput is slower than BX? I have got about 1000 Mb/s |

That's not memory throughput, it considers the CPU cache
too. I don't remember the exact numbers as it has been a
few years since I benchmarked Via 693 chipset boards. I
didn't even use many of them, jumping from 440LX to 440BX
and Via 694 instead of 693.
On average, your system will be slower at memory intensive
tasks and faster at those bottlenecked by hard drive (using
newer hard drives). It isn't important to know the exact %,
not when anything else made in the past several years is far
faster than either. If performance matters, it's time to
replace it.

suggested undoing the overclocking. You're gaining only 5%, that way.
It would be more effective, if you want to boost performance (and not
just get a new computer), if you were to take a look at the programs
that would be run all the time, such as the antivirus (which you need)
and various quickstarters, which you don't need.

javascript turned off, and don't gaily hit any presented links, or
if you use Linux. Using Netscape or Thunderbird makes this easy.

forget bandwith benchmarks like Sandra; check : http://193.189.160.28/jerman55/HP/benchMem.htm I can't find this benchmark. Could you give me link to this file? |
