I thought that would prove the memory bandwidth is about 8Gbit/sec (1GByte/sec; 2 * <dd's bytes/sec number>/2^30). But I can see what u mean: On my Athlon XP 2400+ (this should be faster than 2100+) I just get about 5Gbit/sec with the same test (I use DDR RAM and this 266(133*2?)FSB, I think...)... I dont know so much about hardware... But it sounds plaubsible that the architecture around the CPU influences performence... But it is very interesting for me to learn where the bottleneck is... -Arne P.S.: Arne liked "school TV" until it was shutdown... *sob* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
