The new DFI nForce4 boards support CAS 1.5 as a BIOS choice, and possibly a few other high-end boards. CAS 1.5 sounds impressive, but AMD tells us that they do not support CAS 1.5 in their on-chip memory controller. And the memory controller is on the AMD chip after all - and not on the motherboard. Our own tests several weeks ago comparing CAS 1.5 and CAS 2.0 on the DFI board did not find any performance difference in these two CAS timings using an AMD processor.
well i get an increase of 80 to 100 points in the synthetic benchies like Everest and Sandra when i go from Cas 2 to Cas 1.5.rahul3111 said:From Anandtech

Wow, Really !!! i did not know that ....:huh: (oh lord !!!!)funkymonkey said:Thats would be error too.
I run the test multiple time i get different results each time when it comes to memory bandwidth tests.
So 80 point difference is nothing too much to be honest.
deejay said:Superpi 32 M update:
But first can anybody tell me how can i enlarge or scroll down the entries on the main super pi window. ??
When the tests finish i get another small window informing PI calculations done. however during this time i cannot move / enlarge or scroll the main Super PI window. and when i click ok on the small finished window the display on the main super PI window changes to the summary data, as seen in the 3rd pic below (giving the best scores of the various iterations like 1M ,8M 32 M etc ...)
deejay said:@ crazy eddy,
Since many guys have shown an interest in these modules. why dont we organise an MO (Mass order). sure , you will have to take the trouble and pain to visually inspect and segregate these rams from the generic lots of ur dealer but if you are willing to take that trouble for members of TE, and mankind in general,
we can do it.
by MO You can get a better deal from ur dealers due to large quantity.
if you are willing, and subject to avialibility of these modules, we can arrange an initial MO of say 20 256mb modules. so talk to your dealer and post a reasonable price for it.
my initial order is 2 modules confirmed.
so if it is possible for you to do MO kindly post here ......

Frankly kinda unbelievable and unexpected personally, but managed to take 2 x 512 MB PC3200 PDP Patriot XBLK to 290MHz 1:1 1T. Here's PDP trying to catch up with the likes of G.Skill PC4800 and 4400 !
TheMask said:perhaps we shud ahve a seperate thread for Super Pi scores.. wud make comparing the scores easier
That info is good enough.Crazy_Eddy said:Sorry, no cam with me, so cant post any pics of the module.
Can do my best to describe them though:
- First level of identification, the TwinMos warranty sticker with the P/N having the last 4 characters as "1A4T"
- "M.Tec" labelled ICs with the traditional characteristic of Winbond ICs - two dimples on the IC
If possible, will try getting a pic of them soon.
