Ping Fitz
Greets Fitz,
When you answered my question about a single hard drive on the SATA RAID controller, you mentioned that I should have opted for some PC3500 memory over the PC3200 memory that I had ordered. Well, you were right, because the Corsair sticks will not run stable at CAS 2 (as it comes aggressively timed from the factory). Relaxing the timing to CAS 2.5 seemed to do the trick because that made my system stable. I just think it sucks that I paid extra for the Corsair PC3200XLPRO series and it won't run reliably @ 200 MHz and CAS2 as rated! This is the first time Corsair has let me down since January 2000, when I started using them exclusively in all of my systems! Rather than eating the 15% restocking fee, and ordering some PC3500 memory, I opted to keep the Corsair and run it at CAS 2.5. Besides stability, I can't tell the performance difference between CAS 2 and CAS 2.5 (lol). Once again, thanks for the input, and you can take this opportunity to say "I told you so". Chris |
