Hey guys. Maybe you can help me out here. Ok, I just bought a Shuttle AN35N Ultra board. My first DDR board, so maybe im just a noob as far as ddr boards go. Heres the problem. I have a Athlon 1.4. A single stick of DDR400 crucial ram. I CANNOT run it at 1.4. The only way i can get it to run is to run it at "optimised defaults" which runs it at a 100mhz fsb. Ends up being a little over 1ghz.
This is basically the bios setup, as far as i can remember.
System Performance: Optimal
FSB Frequency: 133
CPU interface: optimal
Memory frequency: By SPD
Resulting frequency: 200mhz
Memory timings: optimal
Now, i guess i dont really know what memory frequency is. i have fiddled with it, wiht no luck. It will boot at 1.4 (using FSB of 133, but when it hits windows it locks up. Thought maybe it was power supply ( Sparkle 350 watts) so all i have installed is my graphics card. I have only one stick of ram. Just doesnt seem to make any sence to me. Thanks guys.
