WOW! Looks like I may have stirred up sumpin askin bout this Intel board and runnin PAT. I was just trying to help 2 dudes at Corsair HoH. I want to watch this closely. I mean, what if "CHIPZILLA" can't get PAT to run on their own boards?

Looks more like Intel SYM technology, Stole Yo Money! Or, mebbe there is a perfectly logical reason for all of this

Mike.

Here's my cachemem test.

casheman

Someone with an Asus P4C800 or any PAT enabled board needs to run it so we can compare.

Well, I just received a response from Michael at Lostcircuits and here is his response:

The easy and unequivocal way to find out is to run cachemem and look at the latencies. If the highest latencies are around 100 ns, PAT is working, if they are above 130 ns, it is not. You may have to re-run cachemem a few times if you have stray results.

The numbers shown are cpu cycles so you need to divide them by the GHz value of your CPU, e.g. 270 cycles / 3.0 = 90 ns.

If you were running a 3.0 GHz CPU, I say that PAT is definitely enabled, otherwise, your numbers would be in the 450'ies, if your CPU is any slower speed grade, it would become more difficult to judge.
Update! I guess PAT is enabled!!! I guess the fellow that made CTIAW is a little off in his readings...

Hey Realdieu ... are you drunk too?? Man ... that makes two of us!!!

Now ... this thread is something about the Intel 875 mobo and PAT ... isn't it? Now, would anyone think that Pat Gelsinger wouldn't put PAT to work on his own boards ?!?! Ppl ... relax ... I'm with Realdieu (not only on alchoolic degree) ... either the guy that made CTIAW made some mistakes ... or ... Intel is making some special mambo jambo with their boards to make PAT invisible but noticeable ...

You know I don't think those scores are too bad. My test shows it takes 91clocks to move 512kB's to the L2 cache and it takes 302 clocks to move twice as much (1024kB's) to main memory. Thats only a 50% increase in clock cycles to move bits to the memory vs. addressing onboard cache. That would be like taking 20 seconds to get a pack of smokes from the next room to taking 30 seconds to get a pack from NYC.

I have 2.60C on a D875PBZ... with Corsair TwinX LL 3200 set at 2-3-2-6. I too have seen CPU-Z and Sandra report my PAT off. But my cachemem latency is 108ns. Does this mean my PAT is actually on? I am running stock everything (except my the GPU). Thanks!

How can this be?

OK,

I tested my 875 with cachem26. I looked at the latency and see that I get 265??? worst case (Lower right hand corner result).

So, 265/3.029 = 87.4876ns! is this correct? According to the above, PAT must be on...

Here's the pic. 276 cycles/2.60Ghz = 106ns. Is PAT on?

according to the logistics guy my PAT is working with the "0" setting....gee thanks Intel.

sure looks better when you see enabled....

I'll just trust Big Toe and the rest of you that my 3dmark2001 results are about 500 points higher with good 'ol PAT.

never have overclocked any 'puter ,this is all magic to me.

nice to see that my D875PBZ w/3.0 and 2x512 corsair twinx pc3200 set at 2,,3,2,6 or 2.3.3.7. or 2,3,3,8, will just speed on down the road.


great reading,this forum,but i dont have big enough cahonies to do much changing with out one of you fellas living next door...

Sounds like you have all the changes you can make. You also made a good choice in motherboards. Enjoy.

I'm just barely setting up my 875PBZ + 2.4C.

Here's my PAT results:

1)ctiaw gives me "(0) Reserved" just like everyone else.

2)Cachemem gives me 102.5 so apparently PAT is enabled.



BTW - I have a BIOS question about this board that I'm going to post in the BIOS forum. If you 875PBZ guys could look at it I'd sure appreciate it!

Hey guys I am beginning to think none of us have PAT enabled and are getting screwed. My reason for thinking this is I ran Sandra last nite. I ran Memory bench with several different settings in my bios. I compared these to the results of the mem test to a P4 3.0 512MB board and I only barely beat it when I had the fastest mem settings and was in burn in mode +4%. That ain't right. And like everybody else Sandra said no PAT enabled.
