memory question asus mobo
I have an Asus K8v-X mobo with an AMD athlon 64 3000 cpu in it. I have two
matched DDR400 memory sticks of 256 each. The board has one blue slot, and two black slots. The manual says use the blue slot first, then add to it by putting more memory in the black slots. Using Everest to monitor the system and clock the times, I get 2,987 Mb/Sec read time with one stick in the blue slot, and 2508 when I add the second one in the black slot. Writes fall, too, from 978 Mb/Sec to 851 Mb/sec, and latency increases from 68.5 to 78.7 nano seconds. Anybody know what's going on here, and is best, if you want the fastest machine, to just buy one large memory module and put it in the blue slot? as alway, tia avery |

You will find the answer to your question in the book. R.T.F.M. (Read the frickin' manual!!!) |

Dee,
I did read the manual; The manual says use the blue slot first, then add to it by putting more memory in the black slots. I guess you mean I missed something. Thanks for the heads up, I'll go read it again. Avery |

Avery What I was referring to was the chart on the combinations of memory and most combinations of double-sided memory result in dropping from 400MHz (200) to 333MHz (166). |
