comparisons ?

athlon 300+ is equal to which pentium processor ? 3 / 4 ?

what about athlon 3000+ but only with 1GHz ? is it p3/4/ 1
GHz clock ?

what about duron ?

I've been out of the loop since all my asian friends split
up after high school. :(

i guess 3000 means it's as fast, or even better (+) as
pentium4 3 ghz

my poop athlon 1600 has been running 1,05 instead of 1,4 for
a long time, cause it crashed, i hope my new powerfeedthing
and case will let me do 1,4

so, if i have athlon 3000+ with 1GHz proc, what pentiun is
equal to that ? and in general, is it fast, or a little
outdated ?

I thought all athlon 3000+ processors were at least 2GHz ?

(i'm probably wrong though)

when i go to my system options, i can see the name and specs
listed as Athlon 1Ghz. theres a sticker on the case which
says Athlon 3000+. the name is Scaleo P by Fujitsu Siemens.
im confused now. the pc is quite fast, you know. just was
wandering whats inside.

i found these specs on web :

FujitsuSiemens Scaleo P Pentium 4 3.2GHz / 512MB / 160GB /
DVDRW /

while mine is Athlon 3000+ 1GHz. so what now.

you should be able to set it faster in the bios (press del
when starting up)

it's not the athlon 64 is it?

it looks like the computer could come with either
P4,Celeron D, Athlon 64, Athlon XP, or Sempron

well i know that, but i still dont know whats more important
in specs - this silly 3000+ or 1Ghz clock speed indicated by
the system.

well, its not p4, its not AMD 64. now - is it XP or Sempron
? and still - if its XP 3000+ with only 1GHz, or is it
Sempron ? how do i check that ? it costed 1000 quids, so is
it possible that it was simple athlon 3000+ with so slow
proc ? i dunno.

so what can i do ? any software to check that ?

my computer system properties (right click on my computer)
say:
AMD Athlon (TM) XP1600+
1.41 GHz
i guess that 1,41 is what it says at the amd website for
1600 and what you should verify


 

offline Opto on 2005-05-09 10:32 [#01592686]

so is it possible to have AMD Athlon XP 3000+ and only 1GHZ
clock ?

i think it's set to slow
also i heard you can overclock you processor, so you should
be able to set it that low too i guess, though that's not an
option in my bios

AMD Athlon 3200+ is 2.1 Ghz, I dunno if this is useful
information?

Points: 6326 Status: Lurker



well. i have the athlon 2600+ and i run it at 2.1ghz. so...i
would say that the 3200+ probably runs a little faster than
that.

No way, with this overclocking device I got with the
motherboard, I can speed it up to max 2160Mhz.

youve got your motherboard clock setting all wrong. i had
this problem when i first got my athlon 1700+, i could only
get it running at 750 mhz or so, until i looked through my
motherboards manual and made some tech calls. i forget which
setting it was, but its most probably a jumper setting, so
dig around in the manual/ call tech support and itll get
soirted out immediately. i even remember the company having
a little thing telling me how to fix it while i was waiting
for tech support, so it wasnt even like i was on the phone
for 3+ hours.

Do you think the settings on the motherboard are wrong or
does the 3deye display show wrong information?

My system is very fast and I can play the latest games on
full settings, so I guess the display is wrong...?

well what proc do you have, and what it say its running at?

AMD Athlon64 3200+

The 3rd eye thingy tells me it runs at 2100Mhz "normal"
mode.

technically, it should be at 2.2 ghz, but since its only 100
mhz off im sure that just some kind of discrepancy in
calculations. so youre all good.

opto on the other hand has got some settings to still fool
around with.

In Turbo mode it's 2160Mhz...so I guess all the settings are
ok.

Thanks hedphukkerr.

okay. well. i guess i was a little off. my 2600+ runs at
2.08 Ghz. the 3200+ HAS to run faster than that. i'm sure
of it.

I found this somewhere on the web:

"if it's just for gaming, i'd go Athlon64

i switched from a P4 to a A64 3200+ and it was a great
change, even though my MHz didn't change, both run at 2GHz
(newer 3200+ run at 2.2GHz but have half the cache), but the
speed is much faster on the A64 (obviously)
"

so now that they stopped using GHz(? did they), how the fuck
do they measure processing power/speed anymore?

they didnt
and the overal speed is influenced by alot more than just
the processor ghz

nah, they still use ghz - 2500+, 3200+ etc are just names
that amd have given the processors, it's supposed to show
the equivalent p4 speed

yea the architecture of processors is alot more important
now that the maximum ghz you have achieve is generally
universal nowadays. same with graphics cards.

CPUID
TRY_THIS CPU ID'er
and
The one from AMD
You already have one built-into Winders too...
Run dxiag.exe (DirectX Diag Util)
(hardly anyone knows about this)
Good for checking DirectX files and diagnostics as well
obviously
