Hello,
I've recently assembled an Athlon64 AM2 4600+ on a Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe, with two A-Data DDR2 800 1GB each. OS is Windows server 2003 R2.
Using cpu-z the memory frequency is reported about at 400MHz, presumably a correct value.
Now, I tried the same motherboard with a different cpu, a 5000+, instead of the 4600+
Surpripsingly to me, cpu-z now shows a decreased value of the memory frequency, at about 372 instead of 400. This using the same bios setup and no overclock or tweaking of any kind.
What is worst is that, although the general pc performance is very good, my application, now with the 5000+, worsened dramatically. I use that PC as home theater pc for viewing mpeg2/H.264 HDTV DVB-S2 broadcasts. While the 4600+ was able to display HDTV contents smoothly, now the 5000+, in spite of the fact that it should be positively better, behaves unaccetably jerky. Also CPU usage is 80%-90% in average, while the 4600+ was hardly more than 50% under any conditions.
Thank you for helping me solving this embarassing conundrum.
