Yes, DDR and 266FSB... So you meant, I would have about 500MByte/sec... Then I am far below that...
My formula was: 8*277MByte/sec = 2.16...Gbit/sec -- Since dd reads and writes memory I multiplied that with 2, which results in 4.328...Gbit/sec (50%read, 50%write) throughput... Or does a write(2)-request to /dev/null just return without reading the buffer? If yes, it would be just 2.16Gbit/sec for filling the buffer with zeroes... Then we should look again at the bandwidths in oxy's(?) setting... I thought he just needed 500Mbit/sec alltogether (disc io, NIC io)... > It sounds like you have a A7V8X or similar motherboard, Do you? > It is an ECS K7VMM or K7VMM+ if I recall it correctly... Bought in 2003... Is it easy to explain, why the 266FSB cannot do 8Gbit/sec without problem? I mean: 2*133MHz*32bit=8.3125Gbit/sec... Is the MMU too slow (e. g. due to "cheap" implementation of cache strategies) to utilize the FSB to the maximum? -Arne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
