Title: Slower than average RAM
Post by: Cobra on February 16, 2007, 05:32:29 pm

Memory performance of this system 4856 megabytes per second, is significantly lower than average. Systems with the same processor and amount of memory typically perform at a level of 6981 MB/s.

I have 1 GB.

Does this by any chance have anything to do with the really ****ty FPS I get in all parts of KOTOR?

just make sure ur ram is all the same speed (eg pc3200) and the maximum speed your mobo/processor supports

if you have just one stick of 2100 among some 3200s, you might as well take it out because it probably hurts performance more than anything. YOu probably have a bottleneck like this. it is my understanding that ram speeds always go with the lowest common denominator.

Both sticks I have are PC3200. I got this from the same guys who put together the PC I'm on right now, so they knew what to give me.

4856MB/s?  Damn, that's good memory throughput.  Are you sure you dont have some retardedly high frequency memory with a retardedly low response time?  Cause I cant pass ~2400MB/s with my system, and I probably have it configured better than yours.

Oh wait, you must be thinking of L2 cache.

Yogi RAM, slower than the average RAM.
