what bandwidth are you getting on that?
Don
2.25V so perfectly safe. Bandwidth isn't too hot at the moment because of the very slack Trc, but I can tighten it right up I think 
.
And I feel there is more in the tank Mhz wise.

Not long and i can be tweaking again, know my current pc inside out as im sure you all do, nice to have something new to learn and tinker with.
Great clocks there jokester, have you found a particularly sweet spot for this ram yet?

Not to hot, CPU is slightly slower than all the previous screenies so that'll have an effect, but not much.
Oh well, just need to clock it up some more to compensate

I'm going mental here reading this thread. My new PC is still in various brown boxes lol, really looking forward to getting this memory installed as i never used DDR2 before. I'm a regular DDR man so 200MHz-260MHz (DDR400/DDR500) is the normal working range for me, so I am pretty shocked at seeing this new stuff running at 600MHz.
Apart from the new high frequency (500-600MHz) I have never used a PC at length that features 2GB of main ram. . .
Btw: I remember the old days of PC memory, the first 'proper' PC I had was loaded with a whOOping 16MB of ram (Win95).

Don't think I mentioned before but this is on the EVGA 680i, using the unlinked option so it gives extremely flexible options for RAM frequency except around about the 2:1 divider area for some reason where it isn't overly stable.

Oh ok, I thought that may be quite hot!Jokester said:"2.25V so perfectly safe"
No you didn't tell us anything apart from what memory you were using? Whats wrong with you man, do us Hitmen and Wiseguys deserved to be left in the dark??Jokester said:

Memories!! Just a kid first real PC, a 12Mhz 286. PC-DOS 2.0 booting on those giant 5¼" floppy disks. Man I'm getting old.1dmf said:

No, when your father built you (by soldering ALL the components onto the system board) a 1978 Ohio Superboard that had 4K of total memory (including the bootstrap ROM) and all the programs had to be loaded on from a 300kbps tape deck, then you are truly getting old!

i guess this shows that 1T makes a difference in benchmarks, but how does it fare in the real world
Can't match Jokesters clocks on this mobo, not 1:1 at anyrate, dividers are next but seem to be a bit crappy on this board.
550 4,5,4,6 2.3v seems memtest stable but thats right on the edge of what the board will do. Need to drop voltage as there should be no probs running that speed with lower voltage.

Tell me about it, I still remember the loading times on a cassette driven VIC-20. Oh the agony of waiting when you're 10, just trying to remember the games, Sidewinder IIRC. Not really an x86 PC I know, but they were the days. Of all the various interests I've had, it amazes me, must be 30 years I've always had a computer on the go. From the first time we had a Pong paddle, I'm not sure if I should thank my Dad or not, costs a fortuneWJA96 said:
