Ive got my mem at 233 at 7,3,3,2.5 timings and i ran memtest and after 10 passes i got no errors, is this stable? also ive got my cpu a64 running at 280x10 with a 166 divider (233mem) is there tighter timings i should try? say like 6,3,3,2.5 or any other combnation? just wanna get the best out of it! :)
 
I have 2 Sticks of 1Gb Crucial Ballistix RAM and one stick has to go back already since was gettin BSOD all the time and failed most tests. Dont know if this is normal for RAM, but apart from thats its awsome RAM so fast

The Ballistix 1Gb modules are famous for dying, they're best avoided tbh.
 
minstadave, ive got them stable at 233 at 6,3,3,2.5, is there any timings i could try, these timings were 31 pass stable in memtest! :D :D

Ballistix can be surprising sometimes, try 2.5-2-2-5, it may well do it :)
