Mine can do 250mhz at 2.5-4-4-11 timings with 2.9v but got error when i do memtest last time.. guess mine are bad sticks but still considered ok coz can go 250mhz. I know someone with 512mb d43 which are double sided that can go 255mhz at 2.5-3-3-11 with his nforce2 setup. A nice fsb n timings i can say.. I didnt know d43 are still rams that ppl are searching..

Calvin : To fix this prob u have to downclock somehow..

evilhomura89 : Which one better? It depends on the stick itself. Even BH5 have bad sticks so it depends on ur luck.

It shouldnt be a problem UltramanToron since these Hynix chips max out with only 2.9v vDimm. Anything higher wont make any differences.

Its better to use 1:1 because nForce2 doesnt like dividers at all.

The timing is normal. Dont worry.

My Bt-D43 tops out at 255mhz. He wont go up anymore, maybe i'll cook it longer and see how it goes.

3-3-3-8 @ 255mhz with 2.658v is considered nice, mine on 3-4-4-10 @ 255mhz with 3v for cooking purpose. Maybe i can tight the timings later on. Hopefully.

To me i prefer Abit and Asus mobo than Gigabyte. I'll choose Abit KN8, if can take KN8 Ultra.

I cook using F@H, coz it wont stress the ram too much and slowly make it cook. Memtest is just to test if there's any error with the rams. CPU Burn-in in the other side is a good software to use but it would make ur pc laggy so its not advisable. The best would be F@H client.

p/s: Join me Folding, u can help find cure for protein related desease and the same time cook the rams.

It would be the same, i use text console coz the GUI one uses more memory.

Your mobo is limiting it, unless u can find a modded bios then u have to live with it. Running low mutil with high fsb wont gine any good news also ?

Maybe u can get it but there's no guarantee that u can get the same results. The best way is to test it yourself and see how far u can crank the mhz. D43 timing cant be tighten that much, the best would be 3-3-3-8 or 3-4-4-8. For some D43's ecen cl2.5 wont make any differences with cl3, so u need to test it yourself because there no same ram module. Every module is different in overclocking and speeds and timings depends on how u set it up. Try to use 1T , 2T , CL2.5 , CL3 and see how. Happy clocking.

Nice, but i think even with a 1:1 divider u can get it flying high.

What you're trying to say is you're planning to get another 512mb module ? Get the same speed rating, timings wont matter that much as they would adjust it to be sync.

Nice one, some ppl even get it to run at 280mhz with loose timings. Maybe u need to burn in the rams in order to get higher speeds. Slowly burn it and maybe u can get nice hertz.

Nice ones gengstapo. Memory controller do play a part here, 280mhz on a opteron is something that u can expect. Ive seen D43's hit 285mhz too if im not mistaken, btw nice clocks on the opteron too.

Owh, why sell the dual core opty ? Not good enough ? Ive seen ppl with dual core opteron that clocks the most around 2.6ghz which i think reaching the limit already. Is that the reason u choose 146 rather than 170 ?

Well, even a dual core proc with lower 150mhz doesnt satisfy u ? I think it should suffice the 150mhz handicap with a 2nd core.

Hehe, TCCD's or UCCC's ? Nice bet dude. I think Micron chips almost like TCCD's mhz craze. Not sure if its 5B or what, forget already.

Yeah, it is weird sometimes but i think its okay. Some ppl pass memtest without error when they decrease their Vdimm. Maybe you can try that to increase the mhz and somehow pass the memtest.

For sure a DDR333 (166mhz) would lose to a DDR548 (274mhz) regardless of the timings. The higher the clock, the higher the bandwidth you can get. At 274mhz (DDR548) what timings do you use ?

Dissapointed ? Hynix chipsets are used on a Value Rams, what can you expect ? For the penny spend i think its worth it. Maybe if you want better rams you can get OCZ, Mushkin Rams as they are handpicked and they guranteed the performance.

What Vdimm ? What speed ? What timings ? We can help you if you posts more information regarding your rams setup.
