wrote:Just a quick question, I did the time demo and had a score of 52 frames per second and it was with 756 megs of DDR 400. I then didn't change anything ther than adding different ram to get 1 gig, but I changed all the sticks, and it happened to be DDR 333. Then I ran the test again and lost 10 frames per second. Does ram speed effect frames per second this much, even when it is 256 megs more? Thanks in advance!
Doom is very sensitive to memory speed and latency. I went from 41.5 fps on a P3-1575/SDRAM platfrom to 49.3 fps on a P3-1575/DDR platform...and DDR isn't even supposed to matter much with a PIII!
