Any chance i can get 4x512MB corsair 2-2-2-5 memory to run at 1T?
When I added two more sticks of the Corsair XMS memory running at 2-2-2-5. I had to change the command rate to 2T from 1T previously. I do notice is not as fast running, but not terrible so that I can really gripe. I have never overclocked, but is there a way for met to juice or relax some of the settings so that I can run at 1T again?
I know the best way to have 2M is to have 2x1M but life didn't work out that way. LOL. TIA -- Tom |

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am running a Athlon 64 3200+ on an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe board. Fixed my sig file

Some performance RAM needs more than 2.5V to work properly. Try 2.7V, it should be OK nearly all RAM should tolerate it. Some very high performance RAM me even need 2.8V or higher just to work.

What kind of apps are you running? Could you be more specific as to how much of an impact having to run at 2T has on your system? ==steven |

As I understand it this is a limitation of the memory controller in the cpu.
I thought it was a chipset issue but it isn't. The new dual-core 64's handle 4 modules better but to run at 1T you need 4 single-sided modules. My 3200 Winchester ran at 2T with 4 double-sided modules and at 1T if there were only two. I had a Via based board, you have an NVidia so it's not the boards. The impact for me was about 20% loss of memory bandwidth but I needed the quantity of ram for my apps as opposed to bandwidth. The impact was not critial. If you game, you'd be better off with 2 modules anyways, less memory banks to address. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think how it impacts you will depend on what you're doing.

I have the same RAM. I had to raise my voltage to 2.8 in the BIOS... it
actually runs at 2.85 during normal operation. The limit for this RAM is 2.9, but I had to give it as much juice as I could to keep the system stable. --JM Dave wrote: Some performance RAM needs more than 2.5V to work properly.
