1200 / 133 (FSB) - 266 with the Step-up of the Ev6 System.= 9
What’s the point in doing this you may be asking well, at the end of the day I would prefer to have a system running on 133Bus over 100Mhz bus, as the overall data transfer will be faster, the most important thing is to have the faster speed.
The advantage of running at a lower multiplier is that the bus speed is higher and so is overall data transfer. This means a 1.2Ghz CPU @ 100 Bus and 1.2 Multiplier will be considerably slower than a 1.2Ghz CPU @ 9 * 133. Make sense? :)
So to test this beast we used the normal benchmarks and we compared it to a non-DDR based system running at 133MHz FSB. This 1.2 Ghz DDR CPU supports 266 bus, and therefore it will also work with a
KT133A board at 133 (266 after step-up). It was only fair to use the new 133A Chipset after all. The system had no "skimp" in it, AMD had kitted it up nicely with PC2100 DDR
SDRam,
Micron branded.
