Hi

Hey, I'm just looking for people running their A7V133 with new Athlon XP
cpus for performance comparison. I play new games, run benchmarks and I can
see that such systems like ours lacks in memory benwidth therefore impacting
cpu performance.
Could you, please pals, do me a favor and run some benchs for me? You can
answer then here or by e-mail.
I'm interested in results of:
AquaMark 3 - cpu result from default test
3DMark03 - cpu result/test1/test2 from default benchmark
3DMark2000 - cpu marks from default benchamark

Don't forget to set VSynch to Off.

All my HW running on Win98SE & DX9.0b & nVidia 44.23:
Asus A7V133 rev."1.05" bios1010.01b @100fsb
AMD AthlonXP 2200+ Tbred-B @2017MHz
Hynix 512MB PC-133 @133MHz
Gainward nVidiaGF3Ti200 (Ti450) 64MB AGPx4 @220/500

For me o/c'ing to 2266MHz @133fsb does help in performance much... seems
like PC-133 is a bottleneck :(
Only pure synthetic MHz-based tests run well.
 
AFAIK, you can't use any of the 2500-3200+ CPUS with the ole A7v133
rev 1.05(no dot). So you are pretty much maxed out on CPU power for
your system.

Might be time for a new motherboard with a 400FSB, since changing vid
cards will not that have that big of a impact, and faster cpu (if you
could get it to work) won't help much either. Or, you can get one of
the new Athlon64/opteron boards, and have a 1600 FSB :) heh
