Hey guys, i'm currently in a small dilemma i have the following..
x2 512MB Crucial PC3200 RAM, it isn't ballistix.
x1 512MB Geil PC3200 Value,
If i attempt to run all of these together my system doesn't POST, i can get it too but i have to slow the memory down to PC2100 i think 133MHZ. I've figured its doing this because the Crucial RAM cannot run at similar speeds to the Geil one in terms on timings. If i run the 2 Crucial sticks on there own totalling 1GB i get PC3200 or 200MHZ and my FSB
RAM is CPU/12.
If i run with the Geil stick i run at 133.3MHZ and CPU/18 however the timings are 2.5-3-3-3-7 however with just the Crucial its 3-3-3-8. I'm wondering would it be better to run 1.5GB with all these sticks noting however they aren't running in Dual channel mode at these speeds or should i go down to 1GB and run the Crucial memory at 200MHZ OR should i just buy another stick or 2 of the Crucial and be done with it.
Thanks
