1. Is it only one stick?

2. Whats your fsb?

FrostedNipple · 1 Nov 2006 at 21:08

its xms2 twinx, there is 2 sticks, and do you want the fsb of my cpu or what?

Defcon5 · 1 Nov 2006 at 21:13

Its not running properly in that its in single channel, you may have put the sticks in the wrong slots?

Yeah the fsb of your cpu

my fs atm is 166 and my multiplyer is 20, i have a PD805

FrostedNipple · 1 Nov 2006 at 21:26

well bothe sticks are in the roight slots, unless you are saying tht there is a stick1 and a stick 2

In that case you should be able to raise the divider to allow the ram to run at a higher frequency.

Check your mobo manual for what slots to use to enable dual channel

Edit// the cpu/mobo does support dual channel i take it?

5
6
6
18

is this what i want or do i have to chage stuff again

go into bios, advanced -> jumperfree config -> ai tuning -> manual, set memory voltage to 1.9v and set dram freq to 800.

go to northbridge settings and turn off timings set by spd, then set the timings too 5-5-5-12

nope 5-5-5-15, stick to what its rated to unless you are overclocking and need to alter timings. im not good with timings to ill leave that to someone else

EDIT: Beaten to it

FrostedNipple · 2 Nov 2006 at 15:40
