QUOTE(jarofclay @ Oct 30 2005, 07:42 PM) 1. Just added another 2 sticks of 256MB to bolster the memory to total of 1.5GB and FEAR, Quake4, BF2 was smooth so silk. 2. However, I need to down the memory timings to 2T and ran the HTT at 200 instead of 237 x 11. Lesson learnt: ========= 1. Memory above 1GB has finally seen its use. 2. Disabling pagefile doesn't help; add more physical memory to your typical usage does wonders. 3. There are no differences in terms of gameplay when moving from 2.2gHz to 2.6gHz. Aaaaaah I c. I've been getting the stuttering thingy in FEAR too. I'm on 1Gb. Will go get myself another 512mb then. |

QUOTE(MacDaNife @ Oct 31 2005, 11:29 PM) Don't think it's your RAM, I think it's your GPU. Fear runs extremely smooth on my AMD64 3000/6800 Ultra rig @ 1280x960x32 with all the performance settings set at medium. And I've got "only" 1GB 3200 RAM too. My game rig is same spec as ure Home rig wat. Even when I ran at Medium settings n only 1024X768(coz didnt know how to add 1280X960 to driver) still got the stuttering thingy like what jarofclay describes.

QUOTE(jarofclay @ Nov 20 2005, 02:34 PM) Normally, AMD motherboards have 1T or 2T settings in bios. If you set to 1T instead of Auto, your system will hang or become very unstable/not able to POST with 4 sticks of double sided RAM. As for the ppl out there, which is the best 2GB kits, try Ballistix. This page was shown to me by kcnyc and I'm more determined to get a Balistix Z503. It can hit more than 300Mhz in a lot of user systems. Check it out here on real life user experience... XtremeSystemsOMG. 2X1Gb running at 300mhz! That's insane man. My daily use oso 250HTT oni. |

QUOTE(jarofclay @ Nov 21 2005, 12:04 AM) Yeah, but it got me thinking as well. 300HTT x 3 = 900HTT is faster? or 250HTT x 4 = 1000HTT? As we all know, the HTT should not exceed 1000 before stability is affected, so we can't run like 300 x 4 = 1200HTT; very much unlike what we expect from Intel platforms. Anyone has any information on this, please share. Ya man. I din think of that. I was just thinking of the RAMs ability to run at 1:1 ratios n not having to use dividers. But I din think of the 300X3 or 250X4 thingy. This is when we need Ikanayam da man. Mr Fish? R u there? |

QUOTE(empire23 @ Nov 21 2005, 12:51 AM) HTB has nothing to do with memory lol, period. It's the interconnect between the Processor and the northbridge, but the fact is, it runs off the same PLL as the LDT bus so that's why it's clock scales with the HBT. I din understand a word u sed. Haha. Just make it simple for dumbos like me lar. Like jarofclay sed, is 300X3 or 250X4 better? QUOTE(ShinAsuka @ Nov 21 2005, 12:59 AM) den 2X1GB usually run @ wat speed? mine now 512X2 run on 380mhz @ bios with 2/1.33 ratio but it shows 190mhz @ cpu-z so which 1 is the correct 1>?  190X2=380 lar. The 300mhz that the Ballistix can do is 300X2=600. that's an unearthly speed. Haha. |

QUOTE(e-jump @ Jan 14 2006, 08:04 PM) i'll go for Team 2x1gb uccc hope i made the right choice  gonna need big rams for dvd-rippings n high reso encodes >_< DVD ripping needs lotsa RAM meh? I rip lotsa DVDs to AVI format n then AVI to MPEG4 for my PSP but I always c the RAM usage is oni about 400-500mb. It's more about the CPU lar. Coz the CPU usage is 100% while ripping. |

QUOTE(westthen @ Dec 7 2006, 05:40 PM) i am using abit KN8 ultra motherboard and currently i have 2*512 ram slotted in dimm 1 and 2...i am planning to upgrade it to 2 gig..so should i take 1 piece of 1 gig or another 2 piece of 512? i am using amd 939 3000+ processor... If u use 4 sticks of 512mb, it's gonna run at 2T n it's a huuuuuuuuuuge difference from 1T. U better get 2 sticks of 1gb. The old 512x2 go to garage sale n sell off. |
