hav a problem here

i have 2x512mb GEIL 2.5-6-3-3 PC3200 n 2x512mb Corsair 2.5-8-3-3 PC3200, i put all into 4 slot which run on dual channel, sadly it only run at 333Mhz, i try changing it to 2.5-7-3-3 1T timing but the speed still at 333Mhz.

the question is can i put it to 2.5-6-3-3 for all the ram , i scare of burning my Corsair ram since it was at 2.5-8-3-3 n i just bought it.

n will changing this will make it reach 400Mhz??

i used to have this kinda of problem using Asus A8N-SLI Premium not long time ago

, it seems, when using all 4 DIMM slots, the mobo itself will reduce the DDR400 speed to DDR333 due to memory controller limitation on AMD64, well that's what i get from Asus's forum

Dude, your post are all over the place looking to buy this and that. Look into the garage section for buying stuff and stop posting in the wrong sections.

I would believe its all in the OverClocking

Performance RAMs can have tighter timings thus making clock cycles faster and improve performance? Something like that la... just like you, I am still learning abt RAM overclocking too

i think this is the simple EXPLAINATION
most Value RAM cannot go higher FSB ,TIGHT TIMING and HIGH Voltage
but Performance RAM can Boot UP Easily..

correct me IF I"M WRONG

FSB? so meaning that unless we're goin for overclocking, if not value ram and performance ram is just practically the same?

If you have a 1 x 512MB 533Mhz DDR2 RAM -your effective FSB is 533Mhz.

If you use 2 x 256MB 533 DDR2 RAM with dual channel, your effective FSB is 1066Mhz.

The total memory is the same for both cases, but just the difference with the FSB.

With dual channel, this allows you to achieve 1:1 ratio with your processor (assuming it's your CPU is Core2 Duo -1066Mhz)
