    everest home free will give you the timing and spd of your ram from bios

     

    Memory Bus 249.99 MHz

     

    what speed my memory is running at

     

    Memory Timings 2.5-4-4-10 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS)

    Command Rate (CR) 1T

     

    the timings it running at

     

    SPD Memory Modules:

    DIMM1: Micron Tech. 256 MB PC4000 DDR SDRAM (2.5-4-4-10 @ 250 MHz) (2.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)

    DIMM2: Micron Tech. 256 MB PC4000 DDR SDRAM (2.5-4-4-10 @ 250 MHz) (2.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)

     

    it's spd specs

     

    under computer/overclock

     

    for newer motherboards you might need to use

  2. if the pata drive is dog slow anyway, the burst is the only thing that would get you in trouble with the long cable

     

    the length of the cable just weakens the signal, the extra time is insignificant

     

    ata33/dma2 was not sited as being a problem

  3. bought a pci ide card to repair old machine with bad ide controller, you suggesting this would work better with the pci card in the new machine instead of the ide controller on the mobo

     

    what I was suggesting is those pata devices would work better if they were using standard cables(18 inch)

     

    a controller card makes more sense when you don't have enough pata from the motherboard

     

    I save pata onboard for optical drives

     

    The specified maximum cable length for both ATA66, ATA100 and ATA133 is 18 inches. Using longer lengths can eventually lead to data corruption despite the excellent CRC checking done in Ultra DMA mode. Use cables longer than 18 inches at your own risk!

     

    staying in dma 2 might be a good idea

  4. did get a 36" round cable from newegg

     

    vaguely remember(hard for an old wookie) an 18" spec for the length

     

    keeping an old pata hard drive in a newer computer would be ok if you had a pci controller card for it

  5. let's find out what dvd burner you have now

     

    open imgburn, under mode select read, insert a previously burned dvd(one you made with that burner)

    and copy and paste the right hand window into a reply
