strange readings
strange readings
I installed CPU ID in my friends computer to see if the memory was registering as dual channel and I noticed that the Multi on the CPU was changing as I watched. Its a Compaq Presario desktop. Is this normal? Also the Ram will not run in dual channel.. I checked the slots and the I have two 1 gig sticks in slots #1 and #2 then I have two 512 meg sticks in slots #3 and #4. I tried taking out the sticks in 3 and 4 but no change. I have updated the chipset drivers and all the ram shows up fine in BIOS and CPUID.

Re: strange readings
AMD OR INTEL? AMD NEEDS THE MEMORY SIDE BY SIDE INTEL IS 1,3 AND 2,4 srry for the caps.

Re: strange readings
It's either AMD's Cool n Quiet or Intel's Speedstep. They both adjust the multiplier and voltage so the CPU consumes less power and puts out less heat.
What other hardware is installed in the machine? The motherboard might not support dual channel mode. For more system info download HWiNFO32.

Re: strange readings
The MB is an ECS MCP61PM-HM rev. 1.0a the CPU is an AMD Athelon 3800+ socket AM2+. It has a Nvidia 7800GT vid card. The two 512meg sticks are both Hynix, one of the 1 gigers is Hynix the other is another brand. All four sticks are the same speed.

Re: strange readings
Here is a BIOS update for that board, don't know if it will help, definitely won't hurt.

Does this look like the board?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu ... c=en&cc=us
I only see 2 RAM DIMMs.
What does HWiNFO32 say about the Memory?

Re: strange readings
I have not had a chance to put that tool on it yet. The pic is it except the pic is rev. 1.0b mine is a 1.0a and the spot to the left is full with two more dimms.

Re: strange readings
It says it supports Dual Channel, don't know why it wouldn't be working.
And you have the latest chipset drivers off of nVidia's site, correct? Sorry had to post a picture since I can't link to the file since I don't know what OS you're running.

Re: strange readings
I installed the drivers listed for the MB off of a Compaq support site. 15.49 nforce_win_vista_win7_32bit
