The first test we ran the 4000PT was using
Lavalys's Everest Ultimate Edition,
we took reading of the memory starting at 200MHz and
then and then worked our way upward until we maxed out
using a 1:1 setting using 3-3-3-8 timing. Once we found
the maximum overclock speed we could reach we began to
test the stability of the memory using Prime, paying
special attention to test # 5 to see if any error began
to appear.
We tried everything short of a blood sacrifice to get
the memory to get the memory up to 275 MHz, but there
was no joy in Mudville. No matter how I approached it it
would not budge above 270 MHz and I lay a great deal of
the blame on the NF4 Ultra motherboard we were using.
Shortly after we started our tests we were unable to
adjust the core voltage without the system freezing and
having to reset the BIOS. None the less we were
able to run the memory rock stable using Prime for six
hours without a single error.

Super Pi is a utility determines the Pi to
specified number of decimal points thus insuring that your
memory is performing at its maximum performance while it is
doing this. This program is almost entirely memory
intensive and therefore if there are any memory problems
they should show up in this program. We could have ran the
program longer, say in the 32 Meg runs but since we knew the
memory was already stable there was no need to waste our
time doing so.

Once again a very respectable score and also one of the
fastest scores we have seen. |
