Slightly annoying RAM issue

RossG · 1 Apr 2008 at 11:47

Just installed a set of OCZ 4GB PC6400 into my DS3 board today alongside 2GB of Geil 6400. Slot arrangement is 1x1GB Geil in A1, the other GB in A2. The OCZ is slots B1 and B2.
It's all working fine, but the annoying thing is the Vista rating (I'm on 64 bit). The RAM rating has gone down from 5 point something to 4.9. I'm assuming it has something to do with the timing. It's not really a problem as such, it's just irritating me

. Anything I can do to rectify it?

Change the timings, increase the fsb...basically overclock your RAM. You wont really see much benefit from it though.

As above. One set is probably slowing the other down. You could try setting the timing manually in the BIOS so there all running at the highest speed.

I've changed the slots around and that brought the score up to 5.0 I won't bother playing with the timings, speed etc. More fuss than it's worth just to get vista to display a bloomin number

. I'm not really sure what I'm doing when it comes to RAM timings anyway.
