remmber my thread:"amd 2400 vs barton 2500 " i got a berton 2500+ and oc it to 3200+ the score went down to 28731 from 39203 my specs r: amd 2500+ @ 11X200=2200 abit a7n REV 2.0 2X256 A DATA PC 3200 DDR CL3 ATI 9800PRO STOCK VOLCANO 12
down in what? aquamark 3? a change that massive isnt possible unless you are running a few hundred mhz slower with looser ram timings. tb and barton is basically the same core but the barton have 256k more cache. check ram timings and all other bios settings havent changed. make sure your clock is the same as before and your memory is in sync.
ok let us see! barton 11x200 AuthenticAMD Name: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ SpeedMHz: 2187 AquamarkScoreRender: 5406 AquamarkScoreSimulation: 6905 AquamarkScore: 38731 2400 11x200 Vendor: AuthenticAMD Name: AMD Athlon(tm) SpeedMHz: 2205 AquamarkScoreRender: 5439 AquamarkScoreSimulation: 6961 AquamarkScore: 39122
so the score isnt actually down over 1000 points as in your first post but a few hundred right? easily within the bounds for a slight driver change or IQ setting alteration? to see CPU changes run sandra or PCmarks.
