Check my RAM Speed
SteveC wrote:
Is there a way to check what the speed of my RAM is running at?? OK, I'm running: Asus A7N8X Deluxe AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Thoroughbread-B 512 Dual Channel DDR400 Core Speed 2081 MHz Multiplier x12.5 FSB 166 MHz CPU Voltage 1.65 If your RAM is set to SPD, probably 200MHz. If your RAM speed is 100%, then 166MHz If your RAM speed is set to x%, then it's x * 1.66MHz. I would set the memory timings manually and set the speed to 100% of FSB. Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String... |

Actually, I found it...It says: Memory Module Properties Module Name Kingmax MPXB62D-38KT3R-PEA Serial Number None Module Size 256 MB (1 rows, 4 banks) Module Type Unbuffered Memory Type DDR SDRAM Memory Speed PC3200 (200 MHz) Module Width 64 bit Module Voltage SSTL 2.5 Error Detection Method None Refresh Rate Reduced (7.8 us), Self-Refresh Highest CAS Latency 2.5 (5.0 ns @ 200 MHz) 2nd Highest CAS Latency 2.0 (7.5 ns @ 133 MHz) So I guess it's running at 200 MHz?? That look like it's SPD info... which is basically text stored in a chip, and doesn't actually relate to the current settings. I could be wrong, I've never used that program, just pointing out that it might not be what you think it is. Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String... |

understood, but I am looking at that program and cannot find where it says

Looks like it.Shouldn't it be @ 133(266)? |

Steve PS If your XP2600 is a 166/333 CPU then that RAM should be run at 166/166 with the FSB? No, it can run fine on 200MHz, DDR400. I'm unsure about it having any advantage though. Might depend on rams latency and number & config of ram sticks. Higher memorybus could reduce latency. My own experiments hint's that DDR333 CL2 seem to be somewhat faster than DDR400 CL2.5 though. At least on 333FSB, two symmetrical DIMMs and dualchannel. ancra |

Steve Well, does the increased bandwidth affect your performance so much it justifies so hard overclocking of the FSB? You are overclocking the cpus FSB hard, but core, chipset and ram moderately. I'm not an expert on overclocking, I avoid it myself. But if you're looking for best performance, I doubt it should be so unbalanced? But someone more experienced with OC should comment this. Temps are ok. Nominal for your system is: (on the off chance you're asking ) 166 FSBclock, multiplier 11.5, 100%, DDR333 CASL 2 or 2.5 (there's a good chance PC3200 CL2.5 will work fine with CL2 on DDR333). That's how I would (meekly ) do it. You can run the memorybus above 100% (and that was primarily what I was thinking about) but I'm almost sure it's not a good idea with dualchannel and reasonable DIMMs. ancra |
