Cas2 vs. Cas3 in Quake3
Posted by: J0rdan on: 06/15/2000 06:05 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
The guys over at TweakMax have an interesting article on the go comparing Cas2 vs. Cas3 and how it influences memory bandwidth and ultimately Quake3 performance.
So what do we learn from these tests? Well, faster isn't always better. For example, in the latest test we can see that 800MHz at Cas-2 is just as fast as running the CPU at 840MHz, memory at Cas-3! This means that if your 600E maxes out at 834MHz (139x6), but your memory can't run Cas-2 at this speed, you will get better performance if you go down to 800MHz (133x6). Now you will even have a much greater memory bandwidth (MB/sec) than at 840Mhz...Interesting... They have lots of pretty charts and the like that are worth checking out. You can find it here.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
