I have a very specific question and hope someone can help me. I bought me the GigaByte 8PE667 ULTRA mainboard
a month ago and installed 2 x 256 MB DDR-SDRAM TwinMOS (CAS 2.5). I set the TOP PERFORMANCE in BIOS to
ENABLE and everything was running perfect without problems. Yesterday I bought one more 256 MB RAM module the
same as the other two installed it into the mainboard and the system stopped booting. If I replaced the new RAM with
one of the others so there was only 2 x 256 MB DDR-SDRAM everything was running if there were 3 x 256 MB DDR-SDRAM
the system stoped booting but the BIOS initial memory check always completed OK.
Then I set the TOP PERFORMANCE to DISABLE and the system started booting.
Can anyone give me an idea what's wrong here and what does the TOP PERFORMANCE setting in GigaByte BIOS exactly
mean? I don't thing the memory module can be fault but with 2 x 256 MB DDR-SDRAM the TOP PERFORMANCE is running
with 3 x 256 MB DDR-SDRAM it's not possible any more. Where can be the problem?
