ABIT BH6 Part IV Benchmarks Winstone 98 Results running at 4 x 100 on ABIT BH6 with 64Mb RAM
Wintnue 98 Results running at 4 x 100 on ABIT BH6 with SiS6326 AGP Card with 64Mb RAM
9/8/98 - I wanted to post the results of running BH6 at 448Mhz but some strange problems arouse while I tried to boot up my machine on the ABIT BH6 using the 2 pieces of Hyundai PC-66 SDRAM (HY57V168010A T-10 9747A Korea and HY57V168010A T-10 9733A Korea). The two pieces of 32Mb that used to work on my BX6 at 448Mhz cannot boot Windows 98 at all. I wondered why. Some incompatibility issues I presume. Yesterday, I tested the to run at 448Mhz with my friends Hyundai PC-100 SDRAM and there were no hangs at all. It looks like I need to go and buy a piece of PC-100 -7ns RAM and in order to test out the high speeds. I will try again later to boot the machine at 448Mhz. Two days ago, it ran at 448Mhz using one piece of the Hyundai PC-66 32Mb module. Since the two Hyundai PC-66 SDRAM are of different makes, I suppose that is the problem. I will check it out keep you posted here. 9/8/98 (3:24pm) - I took out the PC-66 SDRAM (HY57V168010A T-10 9747A Korea) and set the speed to 112 x 4. The system boots up into Windows 98 without any problems. It certainly shows that although serial numbers can be the same, the yield might be a bit different. I am now typing this report on my BH6 using a 32Mb module. It looks like I will have to use the 32Mb to test the speed at 112 x 4 = 448Mhz. Below are the results from WinStone98 and Wintune98.
Winstone 98 Results running at 4 x 112 on ABIT BH6 with 32Mb RAM
Wintnue 98 Results running at 4 x 112 on ABIT BH6 with SiS6326 AGP Card with 32Mb RAM.
Surprisingly, the benchmarks indicates that even a Celeron 448 (4 x 112) is running with 32Mb does not surpass the performance of a Celeron 400 (4 x 100). The average Winstone 98 results shows that the overclocked Celeron is almost on par with a PII-333 with a score of 19.3 (4 x 100 with 64Mb RAM) and 18.3 (4 x 112 with 32Mb RAM). I would definitely try to get another 64Mb module and test out the Winstone 98 with 64Mb RAM. I think it should score around 20.0 Winstone units. As for the Wintune 98 results, it clearly indicates that the Celeron 448 (4 x 112) achieves a high score of 1269 MIPS for CPU integer and 512.6 MFLOPS for the CPU FPU. This is a remarkable result. The video and 3D results are not impressive because of the SiS6326. I have seen reports with 50 - 60 MPixels/s in most of the reputable cards and 40 - 60 MPixels/s for Direct3D. Read Part V for the the good, bad, and recommendations.
