problems running PC3200 on my K8V SE Deluxe Mobo
So I just replaced 1 gig of PC2700 RAM with 1 gig of PC3200 RAM on my K8V SE
Deluxe mobo. In both cases it was 2 Micron 512 MB sticks, by the way. After running PCMark 04, my score actually dropped 400 points with the newer, supposedly faster RAM. I did a benchmark in AIDA32 as well, and my PC3200 memory landed right in the middle of a bunch of PC2700 RAM benchmarks. I put the two sticks in the first two slots on my mobo i.e. the blue slot and the slot next to it. It's my understanding these are the two slots to use to run at 400 Mhz. I know the memory itself fine, because I just swapped out of another machine I have. Any ideas on what gives? Would appreciate some help. Thanks. |

Have you looked in the BIOS to see if the machine knows that it's PC3200? |

Just got the user manual online, and it says in the manual to use the blue slots first otherwise you can cause memroy sizing errors, as well as memory speed errors. HTH -Chris |

Well, there is only one blue slot and then two beige slots next to it. I'm using the blue slot and the one right next to it. That's what the manual says to use for 400 MHz. |
