Ok, I should have thrown all of this into one post but I didn't think I was
going to do the tests so soon. Here are my results so far. All ram timings are
3-4-4-9, board is an 8RDA using psuedo dual-channel, Windows 2000 w/ Service
Pack 3.

Shredder8Mark:

Athlon XP 2.5GHz / 218fsb(436DDR):
64mb hash : 504kn/s  -  3712 Shredder8Mark
409mb hash: 334kn/s  -  2227 Shredder8Mark

Athlon XP 2.5GHz / 200fsb(400DDR):
64mb hash : 503kn/s  -  3712 Shredder8Mark
409mb hash: 309kn/s  -  2227 Shredder8Mark

Athlon XP 2.5GHz / 166fsb(333DDR):
64mb hash : 476kn/s  -  3712 Shredder8Mark
409mb hash: 263kn/s  -  1856 Shredder8Mark

I'm impressed.. going from 166 to 218 resulted in a 27% increase in kn/s. Way
back in the day when I tested Crafty it showed no increase in kn/s from changes
in bus speeds (latency or memory bandwidth). Interesting... Looks like my next
system will be a freon cooled Athlon FX running over 3GHz and 300fsb :) Now if I
could only win the lottery...
