Well,, so much for the Dual channel memory stick debate.

I've had a 512 stick of PC3200 in my computer for a while. And a 512 stick of PC2100 sitting there in a drawer. I finally got the guts to stick the 2100 in, and back the 3200 off to match it. I pulled it all down to 5,2,2,2, and fired it up. It is running dual channel just fine.

Different speeds, different make, etc. Haven't had a problem yet. Lord, I love this A7N8X-E Deluxe board.

 

It's memory timings. They are set in your bios setup.

Mine is set to, Active precharge delay=5
RAS to CAS delay=2
Ras Precharge Delay=2
CAS Latency=2

These timings are usually set automatically, but I played with my settings to get the two sticks to work together in Dual Channel.

 

Can use system info program:

Maybe in Bios too!

 

I'm looking at one of my rig's, opened Everast, then on left click on Motherboard, then click on Chipset, and just look! (will be under Memory Timings)

Aida32 same?

Look here for some memory info:

Yo Dperino, change the 5 to 11, so it's 2,2,2,11 AMD's love it.

 

I thought it was just the nForce2 boards that loved it?

 

All this memory timing stuff. Does it just apply to dual channel. Right now i have one stick of pc2100. Can i mess around with the timings to get better performance or is it just with dual channel.

I have an nforce board so will changing the timings like Cashy said do better for me?

Thanks
