Greetings,
Did a bit of playing today and I thought it would be interesting to compare the 2 systems. I have only run sci mark and sandra on my 6600 just about to run Pi 32M. I can't do any more tests on the DS4/6300 because that is now unning at default in my media center, lol.

Here's the DS4/6300 @ 3570

Its a shame the DS is locked into place, from the tests I've seen the ASUS edges ahead of itwhen OCed with the same CPU - sciencemark doesent seem to ue the extra 2MB L2 on the 6600 at all... you results would appear to continue the trend and be entirely down to the motherboard internal timing differences.

Would be good if you could run some of the benches Anandtech used that showed a difference between 2MB and 4MB cores @ same speed.
 
I would have thought the Sci test would be good because of all the calcs. I think one of the reasons the 6300 is doing so well is because of the extra bandwidth on the memory which pretty much negates the extra 2MB cache.
 
*nod* didnt take that into account... doh.

I've seen the ASUS beat the GB mobos repeteably with the same CPU @ same clocks when OCed though... inversely, the GB tends to win @ stock.

I want an RD600 mobo damnit... asynch mem controller *drool*
 
From my playing with conroes I have come to the conclusion that to get the best performance you

1. Need good 6300 memory
2. Need to get the Max Memory OC for a given CPU OC.

A sweet spot for 6600 is 400 plus on the FSB for a P5W.
 
The L2 actually making a difference here, probably. Large SPI tests bypass the memory prefetcher as you might imagine.

Or maybe its something else? Too bad you cant do more testing :)
