This is hopefully simple, but fear not.
We have 2 A'64 w/ Corsair CL2 (2-2-2-5)
on ASUS K8V SE Deluxe.
Also have 2 FX machines w/ Corsair ECC CL2
on SK8N.
These are solid and not why I am writing.
We bought it all before it all went 'obsolete',
We knew Sempron and new dual core CPU would work.
Configuration.
The Corsair is PC-3200 (DDR-400) 512mb (double sided)
with 3 dimms in each A'64 (754) machine, 2 in each FX-53 (940).
A64's are Clawhammer AND NewCastle.
The ONLY way it runs with 1004 BIOS is as DDR-333.
Expect and get single-channel operation.
FX's are San Diego and Sledgehammer.
Expect and get dual channel operation.
Side info.
K8V SE uses Via K8T800 Single channel mode.
SK8N uses Nvidia Gforce(?) Dual channel mode
SK8N FX-53s (2) ECC PC-3200 are fine with Corsair CL2 (2 x 512mb ea).
Fry's was sold out of Corsair ECC otherwise would be more.
Same A'64s with Kingston CL3 runs 3x512 no problem.
Win XP AMD64 runs great w/ CL2, no problems. Need more drivers to use full time.
Memtest86 reports: A64s w/ 3 x 512 max error free rate = 185 mhz
A64s w/ 2 x 512 max error free rate = 191 mhz
A64s w/ 1 x 512 max error free rate = 200+ mhz (bingo)
FX's w/ 2 x 512 max error free rate = 200+ mhz (bingo)
Questions:
Can anyone explain what is wrong?
How do we fix the A64's to both be stable
and be fast again? (in the BIOS?) ?
Thank you
Ben
