9136C5's, 8888C4's, 8500C5's, 10000C5's, and 6400C3's all use Micron & the rest don't... (6400C4 and 6400 have always been PROMOS)

Running 4GB on Vista Ultimate 32-bit shows up as 3.25GB... I know cause that's what I run ;)

Is Micros memory a bad thing?

Show me the way!

I have: Core 2 Duo E6700 ES 975XBX2 - Retail Corsair XMS2 PC2 8500 (2x1GB) Corsair 620W PSU HIS ATI X1950Pro Seagate 320GB perpendicular recording drive Lian Li case How do I get the most out of this very expensive memory? I had a post about this on the Intel motherboard forums but it didn't take me...

Hi all,

Can someone share with me what the highest overclock they have achieved with this memory?

I can't get it past DDR888 (4x222Mhz) @ 4-4-4-12 2.0V.

I think the problem I'm having is with the BIOS settings (I have ver. 2507 - latest)

BUMP!

has anyone used this hardware combination? do you guys think it's worth it? I haven't been able to reach higher than DDR 888 with 4-4-4-12

So I realized that my retail 975XBX2 board comes with the Kaspersky AV software. Anyone know if this is better than AVG or Avast?

what?!

am I reading this right?

Lets do it man!

I've been able to reach DDR 888 speeds. Anyone top that? How did you do it? What hardware are using with it?

I got the regular with VIVO

So does anyone know how far you can overclock ram to on the XBX2? Here is my SiSoft report: SiSoftware Sandra Benchmark Results RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 : 5763 MB/s RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2 : 5770 MB/s Results Interpretation : Higher index values are better.

Apoptosis wrote:yup... try setting the memory frequency to 800MHz, but if it doesn't work watch the timings as 4-4-4-12 is agressive.

I just did that and the performance is actually slower. I saved SiSoft benches on both configs.

So here is what the memory settings look like in my BIOS http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/8fae00e0ee.jpg What's confusing is that there's a reference frequency and a memory frequency. I don't know the difference between the two. This is the reference frequency and it's options. http://img2.f...

Yes, they do. But my dumb ass got himself a HIS card instead...

try changing the memory speed -- increase it from 667 to 800 in the BIOS... By doing this it will change the memory divider and give you a higher frequency on your memory. Here is a picture I took of it at 667... http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/395/badaxe2_3.jpg We have different BIOS's ...

Does anyone have this combination? I bought the card and am thinking about buying the heatsink. My card is super loud and need to quiet it down. For those who have this sink - is it really quiet? Is it a quality product? Is it worth it? Newegg has it for $17 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...

These are my current settings. What do you guys think? Can I do better?
