P4C800 Deluxe Memory: How close is close?
I( have a new P4C800 Deluxe motherboard. The memory they sold me with
it is two 512 chips made by Infineon. The number on the chips is: HYB25D256809BT-5 The number that ASUS lists on their website as being compatible is: Infineon HYB25D256800BT-5B My numner may have a B at the end too. My wife had to read the number as my eyes weren't up to it, and she may have missed the B. Or I didn't write it down. But my question is, as I'm trying to eliminate hardware problems for a seemingly slow Windows XP performance, is would my memory be compatible or do the numbers have be exact? The rest of my specs a P4 3.2Ghz processor 120Gb Western Digital Serial-ATA hard drive Windows XP Professional Thanks for any advice. |

The rest of my specs a P4 3.2Ghz processor 120Gb Western Digital Serial-ATA hard drive Windows XP Professional Thanks for any advice. All the 256Mbit parts are listed here - your module is made of 32Mx8 chips. Sixteen of these chips are needed to get 512MB: http://www.infineon.com/cgi/ecrm.dll...&cat_oid=-8005 None of the part numbers end in 9. I downloaded the BT-5 datasheet, and it refers to a 5 and a 5A part. The 5A part is CAS2.5 and the 5 part is CAS3, at DDR400. There is no mention of a 5B part, unless they are referring to the B version of die, for the 5 part. If the memory stick is rated at CAS3 at DDR400, maybe that is what 5B means - i.e. 5 = 5B, while 5A is faster. Many people complain of seemingly slow performance, and in order for us to help you, we need more specifics. If I told you I wasn't feeling well, and could you prescribe a drug to make me feel better, that wouldn't be a lot to go on. Tell us what aspects are slow - screen redraw in desktop, moving browser windows around is slow, game framerates are slow, memory benchmarks are off, etc. Also, we need to know what all the hardware is in the computer, what disks are on which interfaces, what cards are in which PCI slots, which slots you've plugged the memory into. You can also inventory the machine with programs like: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php http://aida32.hu/aida32-shots.php?type=l Look over the numbers from these programs, and see if the clock rates and settings are consistent with the hardware you bought. For example, if your 3.2GHz processor decides to run at 1.6GHz, because the BIOS has set the CPU clock to 100MHz, that would make it slow. HTH, Paul |

I must have not been clear on my post. Sorry about that. I have two
512Mb memory cards, for a system total of 1Gb. Does this make a difference in what you're telling me? One each in the blue slots.Thanks again. I( have a new P4C800 Deluxe motherboard.

I might just be paranoid. The main thing I notice is when I go into
Windows Explorer in Windows XP Pro, and try to expand a disk (click on the + sign). It seems to take a few seconds, and I guess I imag8ined it would be instantaneous with this hardware. Also if I try to create a new folder on my hard drive, it seems to take a few seconds to open New then Folder. I thought this too should happen instantly . Like I said, maybe I'm paranoid. Also, for the first time tonight, I tried to make a DVD. I had a 1 hour and 5 minute .mpg file which was a video I captured from my VCR. It took about 1-1/2 hours to reencode the video. I didn't get to the burning part yet. But 1-1/2 hours to encode a 1 hr 5 min file? But maybe this is normal since it's all new to me. Three years ago I built a system and had problems. I guess I'm just expecting problems on this one too. In article , wrote: I must have not been clear on my post. Sorry about that. I have two 512Mb memory cards, for a system total of 1Gb.

So, what part of your system is slow ? Paul I( have a new P4C800 Deluxe motherboard. The memory they sold me with it is two 512 chips made by Infineon.

Infineon HYB25D256800BT-5B
Does the memory come in a kit? My RAM has an A at the end, which merely indicates it comes as part of a 2 piece kit. The regular model doesn't have the A. |
