+1. I could not do this on my previous rig as I was using DDR-II 1066 memory, which couldn’t run any faster than the default 533MHz. With the cpu at 4GHz, I had a nominal 5% increase in frame rate compared to that at the default 3.4GHz. My current memory manages 750MHz without any voltage mod, achieved by setting the bus speed to 225MHz (cpu at 3.825GHz). This 12.5% increase in the base clock results in an almost identical increase in frame rates.
This implies that an increase in cpu speed alone will not noticeably improve the frame rates in CloD, but an increase in the data through-put capability certainly does, at least on my system. Perhaps what this sim really needs is an Intel hexa-core with tri-channel memory, or even an Opteron FX with quad-channel memory …
And the ‘process affinity mask’ setting is no longer in the config file, not that fiddling with the settings yielded any gain in my case either.
