LOL! Well, that was before I got a working Internet connection, so I had more time for housekeeping Now that I can be a mouse potato again, it looks more like what you'd expect. I bought a card table and put the computer in the kitchen where it can be within arms' reach of the coffeemaker, too.Originally posted by: pspada
There's something wrong with you, your apt is much too clean for a computer dork.
meaning 13169 seconds to process the included work unit, which is the "standard" one.cpu_time=13169.734375
I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you meant to say here I use three 512MB DIMMS on an nForce2 Ultra400 board, and it is running in dual-channel mode, and it comes up as 1536MB, not 1024MB. Are you contradicting that, or did you mean something else?Originally posted by: valky
I don't think that it is required that you balance the ram between the channels for it all to be in dual channel mode, accessing at 128-bits.
What it requires is that the total of channel A equals Channel B for Dual Channel operation. If this requirement isnt met then it is the balance of the smallest in slot 1 0r 2 equal Slot 3 and 1 Gig is the lilmit so you figure it out............ :beer:

Plug in all three sticks and set them to run sync'ed to the CPU's frontside-bus speed. For that board, just jump into the SoftMenu III and set the CPU FSB/DRAM Ratio to 3 / 3 or any of the other ratios that are a 1:1 ratio. I would run the RAM at 2.6-2.7 volts as needed for stability.

ok you guys have me confused now!! i have a abit nf7-s version 2 board coming in the mail and already have 3 sticks of crucial PC2700 memory to put in it. they are identical 256 meg sticks, tell me in simple terms i can understand what would be the best way to run them on this board. i am going to be using a unlocked 2500+ on it with a Thermalright SLK947-U. thank you
