2) Message boards : Number crunching : 2700+ Barton vs 2700+ T\'Bred (Message 6828) Posted 9 Dec 2004 by old_user7130 Post: > They are both 333MHz FSB > Here are some numbers for you. In our family team we have two PCs, both Windows XP home, both AMD Athlon 2000+ (Palomino 256FSB) (not overclocked) and both receiving similar benchmarks. But one is knocking trickles out in 3.4 s/TS and the other at only 4.7. But there is one major difference between the two. The slower machine has 256 memory because that is the fastest the motherboard can be set to and the second has 333 memory. We also have an AMD64 3000+ PC being overclocked about 16% also with 333 memory. It is doing about 2.06 s/TS. If you interpolate between the two 333 machines I think you will find that your Barton is doing about right. If your T'bred has a 333 FSB and 333 memory then your question should really be why it's not producing faster trickles.

It seems to me that effective memory speed is critical. Does your Barton have a 333 FSB and the Thoroughbread a 256?
