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??

Hi,

Need advise here. Can 3GB RAM (2 x 1GB + 2 x 512MB) operate as dual Channel?? My MOBO got 4 slot for RAM. The 1st & 3rd slot in white colour while the 2nd & 4th slot are black. So i put my 2 x 1GB RAM in 1st & 3rd slot and the others 2 x 512MB RAM in 2nd & 4th slot.

The problem is when i check using CPU-Z, it doesn't show the RAM currently operate in dual channel mode. The 'Channel' box just blank. What should i do to make it dual?? sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Thanks

in order to have all 4 RAM run at dual channel, is best u use all identical ram, meaning all 4 slot were using 1gb or 512mb ram, dun cross mix, and same latency, clock speed n brand too.

in ur condition, best is u take out ur 2x512mb so that ur 2x1gb could run at dual channel. btw is ur 1gb ram identical to each other??

and of course plug at the same color slot.

correct me if I were wrong

BTW, what do u think is the best.. 3GB RAM run not in dual channel mode or 2GB RAM run dual channel??? Need advise / opinion here.  icon_question.gif Thanks again  notworthy.gif

in my opinion, running 2gb dual channel will be faster. this is my opinion la, i didnt say everyone.

basicly, 2GB ram is already enough for Vista + running multiple program at the same time.
