ECS k7s5a question

[littletemple]

I hear people with the shuttle ak31 talk about memory dimm issues. What the about the k7s5a? Since it only has 2 dimms, it should be fine if i run 2 sticks of 256 crucial ddr ram right? Also, when you run the crucial ddr at cas 2, when it says it at a cas 2.5, do you adjust this in the bios and does it cause problems?

I've set these boards up for some friends with 512Mb of generic DDR. Set to CAS2 in the BIOS and they work fine.

I'm using my board whit 2 sticks of 256mb twinmos ddr sdram w/o any problems.

Yes, you adjust the ram timings in the bios under advanced setup. No, running the Crucial cas2.5@ cas2 won't cause problems. Most of us with the K7S5A&Crucial DDR run it at ultra timings, cas2

I wouldn't worry about setting it at cas2 since you won't notice a difference between cas2 and 2.5 on ddr ram.

Can neone tell me as to what exaxt settings should I make in the BIOS to make the crucial CAS 2.5 256 MB stick run at CAS 2??

I have (2) 256mb sticks of crucial at ultra settings and cas 2...no problems...even when oc'd up to 142.7 fsb...above that (146) I can get stability by dropping settings to fast and cas2.5...

Crucial = GOOD + CHEAP
This is a perfect equation, U will not have any problems running their memory at CAS2...

no probs with Crucial
