I wish I could tell you, we don't get our hands in the manufacturing side of things and we have not removed any of the heatsinks off the modules we have in the lab. I know you are looking for the D9s, I can tell you they are very responsive to high FSBs. ;-)
Like Fallen Kell said, the Tracer modules have LEDs on top that flash when the system is running and they have blue/purple colored lights by the gold leads which lights the area up around the memory slots. The cool part is the top lights flash faster when the memory is used more.
Like dantonic said, the memory needs to be identical which means both modules must be either single sided or double sided or the system will read them as single channel not dual channel. I think the reason the system is working with both module in dual channel and only 512MBs is the system is...
First thing to do is download CPU-Z and see what the default Dell timings are so you know for sure. Never take someone else's word for it. The OCZ memory might require something more from the computer then the computer can give. I think it would be best to match some new memory with the timings...
Upgrade to more memory if you need to but I would seriously turn off some of those startup programs in msconfig. You must have some bloatware stealing your memory. Going to 768MBs will help a bit if you really must but I think going to 1GB would be overkill for what you are doing unless you see...
Well trying to be as non-bias as I can...if you have not had any trouble with your current memory why not stay with Crucial? Sure I understand the price is a bit more but for worry free use, how much of a price can you put on that?
Most all of your Tyan motherboards require ECC at least and...
That system uses PC133 non-ECC/REG type of memory. You can use either CL-2 or CL-3 and will take a maximum of 1024MBs. I would recommend getting at least 512MBs for Windows XP and make sure you do a BIOS update before installing the new memory.
With all things considered you should be able to use PC3200 in that system as long as it is ECC/REG memory. We do not have any track record to tell you for sure that PC3200 will work. I would recommend buying the PC3200 from a place that will return or exchange the module for the PC2100 ones if...
The Corsair memory will be just fine as long as they are the same speed as what was in there. We have memory for that system as well just not at that price.
I would go with at least 1GB of memory for what you are doing. Even though the light gaming does not require a lot of memory the video/audio editing/mixxing will take a bit and depending on how many windows you have open 1GB of memory should do the trick.
Getting faster memory will not help you. Dell locks down the BIOS settings and the system will just default to the rated speeds. Stick with DDR2 PC3200.
Like Dave said, the 256MB modules you are trying to use are probably high density and will not work in that system unless you do a BIOS update and even then they might not work. You need low density memory which has black components on both sides to get the 256MB modules to work. They are priced...
The memory should work fine in that system. The PC3200 will just clock down to the speed the system can handle unless PQI memory will not clock down which I do not think is the case. Have you updated the BIOS and tried re-installing the system drivers, I.E. chipset drivers and video card...
Tracers have been created as a compliment to a system that already has effect lighting, the Ballistix tracers have ground effects and two flashing light strips on top of the memory that actually show you just how much of a load your memory is under. Other then these things the Tracer version of...
Have you done a BIOS update? When you installed the new memory module did you press down pretty hard? The system should boot up with just that 1GB module installed even if there is a banking limitation. If all three modules are double sided the memory might default to 333MHz but still boot.
Yes it does when you are running three module that are double sided. It is a limitation of the chipset. best combination for that chipset is 3 single sided modules.
Your system takes PC2100 and will take a maximum of 1024MBs of memory. Yes, more memory will help the system preform better and should improve the speed depending on how much memory you already have installed.
Link to the memory your system takes.
The memory will work fine in the DFI Ultra D motherboard. Unless I know which Epox motherboard you are looking at I will not be able to tell you. If the Epox motherboard takes DDR memory it will work fine though.
Well if the front side bus of your processor is 333MHz then you will notice a big difference is speed because your system will slow down installing 1GBs of PC2100. If the FSB of your processor is 266MHz then you will not notice much of an improvement unless you are working with big graphics files.
Hello,
With a Barton core the CPU has a FSB of 333MHz so PC2700 would work best unless you plan on overclocking. You can use PC3200 and it will work fine, we have tested PC3200 in that motherboard and it work awesome. Good luck on whoever you decide to go with.
Having the Ballistix memory running at bit hot is natural for those modules. They will run hotter then the normal module without any complications. I would not be worried about it.
I hope this helps.
With AMD processors and motherboards, memory timings are most critical so you want to get memory with lower timings then getting faster memory. With overclocking you can only go so far so get memory that will offer you both high speeds and low timings to take advantage of every bit of your...
You have an A7N8X-LA motherboard which has only 2 slots and will take a max of 2GBs of memory. I would strongly recommend upgrading the PSU to a 500W so it will handle future upgrades. If you plan on upgrading the processor to a 400MHz FSB type then you could go with PC3200.
The system will work in dual channel only if you match all the specs. What I mean by specs is Cas Latency, MHz, chip count, and timings so it might be better to get the same memory you already have. This would minimize any possible compatibility issues.
For video editing you need at least...
Hello Glenn,
I would take out all of the memory and clear the CMOS, then install both new memory modules using up to 35lbs of pressure. Make sure the white clips snap up into the notches on the side without your help. Then try to boot the system up. It just maybe a conflict or problem in the...
Slug,
Motherboard was setup on a test bench / open air with stock CPU heatsink.
Memory modules had active cooling similar to this one shown at: http://reviews.pimprig.com/cooling/super_talent_memory_cooler.php since I did not have it in a case under any type of circulation. I did notice...
I apologize for the delay in responding to the most recent posts about Ballistix?s performance. Rest assured that there is no subterfuge in the delay; it is simply a matter of workload. Our department has been very busy in recent days, and you must realize that responding to forum issues is only...
All,
As it has been shown that the ASUS A8V rev. 2 motherboard and Crucial Ballistix PC4000 modules are able to run at specified speeds I?m bringing this to a close.
Regarding 2T and 1T Command Rates: Unfortunately these are not memory specifications. Many factors can be involved in what...
Slug:
I've changed the HT Frequency to 4x (800MHz).
New BIOS settings:
HT Frequency @ 800MHz - 16bit/16bit
FSB = 250MHz
CPU Multiplyer @ 10 (10*250 = 2.5GHz) CPU Voltage now at 1.525v
AGP/PCI manually set to 66.66/33.33MHz
Qty. 2 BL3264Z505 and Qty 2 BL6464Z505 (1536MB total) @...
Slug
I'll give it a shot running the HT Frequency at 4x (800MHz.) I'll report back as soon as I can on this test. I'll also exchange processors and rebuild using a 3200+ and 3500+.
Currently I am running two BL6464Z505 and two BL3264Z505 (still at 250MHz 2.5-4-4-8) to check on any unknown...
