Hi, i'm not sure about the rest of you guys, but what i''ve noticed, is that my X2 3800 has a pretty weak memory controller, espically with 2x1gig modules.
I can say this, because I've been able to test the memory out on very low multi and have it come up flawless easily at 233 LL (1t CL2)
However, if I try the same, with the CPU going at 2.65ghz, it'll hang in p95...
So with some testing, I found 2 settings that give me 2 choices...
I can either run the memory at:
220Mhz@ 2.5-3-2-2 -2T
or
132.5MHZ@ 2-4-2-2 -1T
I've also noticed that it doesn't respond to stable at increases to the DRam voltage... However it can post higher (perhaps i need more testing), but the above are the 2 extremes i've found between high bandwith and LL at the stock 2.6 voltage.
I guess i should benchmark em, to find the difference, but what do you guys think I should do? and also, how have you guys gone as far as 2x1gig modules in terms of memory settings.
