I am a noob at DDR memory so i need some info & help.
I have a P4 3.06Ghz 533FSB with MSI 865PE Neo2 Series Motherboard. This motherboard has performance option i.e. slow, fast, turbo & Ultra-Turbo. I already had a 512MB memory Kingmax PC400 DDR, running at Ultra-Turbo without any stability probs. Here is some info on the memory from this prog cpuz (http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php).
First It tells me my ram is PC3200
At Slow Setting
Frequency 166.7Mhz
FSB : DRAM 4:5
CAS# Lantency 2.5 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay 3 clocks
RAS% Precharge 3 clocks
Cycle Time (Tras) 7 clocks
At Ultra-Turbo Setting
Frequency 168.2Mhz
FSB : DRAM 4:5
CAS# Lantency 2.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay 2 clocks
RAS% Precharge 2 clocks
Cycle Time (Tras) 5 clocks
Now here is the problem. I just bought a new ram which is also DDR 400 not same company. It doesn't work paired with my old ram, the windows starts and suddenly restarts as in power off and on. So i put it alone and tried both setting & this is what i got.
It showed this ram as PC400
At Slow Setting
Frequency 166.7Mhz
FSB : DRAM 4:5
CAS# Lantency 2.5 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay 4 clocks
RAS% Precharge 4 clocks
Cycle Time (Tras) 7 clocks
At Ultra-Turbo Setting
I just keeps on restarting
Question, will both ram ever work together or i have to return my new ram. Other question is which is better & faster, my old ram or the one i bought. Any info will be very helpful.
Edit
OK i check this ram in friends pc with updated cpuz prog and it tells me
IT is PC3200(200Mhz)
Frequency 200Mhz
FSB : DRAM 4:5
CAS# Lantency 3.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay 4 clocks
RAS% Precharge 4 clocks
Cycle Time (Tras) 8 clocks
Now i am even more confused :Q
