dontasciime Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 that chipset should do 400 fsb kt600 vt8377 just did a quick search as missed the chipset bit in his post when I quickly read it http://techreport.com/articles.x/5836/1
Soggoth Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 Actualil that's what i did i ditched the slower module and set the memory speed to 333 + changed the timings to 2.5-3-3-7 and all s now working perfectly. I did not however try upping the speed to 400 as i am not sure the old mobo would accept this(even thouh i have the possibility). When you have all 3 in you would have to select the slowest modules speed for all 3 in your case that would be pc2700 (333) 2.5-3-3-7 for all in bios for cas and choose ddr333 or pc2700 whichever it says in bios if your cpu is fsb333 but if your cpu is 266 fsb you would be better running sync with cpu at ddr266 or pc2100, If you cpu is fsb400 then go with bottom option and ditch the 2700 module Would be better if your mobo can run the memory in 128 bit eg Dual channel mode with just 2 sticks (if your mobo has that feature) Or ditch 1 of the 512 modules the 2700 one and then you can run at pc3200 (ddr400) with cas in bios set to 3.0-3-3-8 giving you 1536 meg
Soggoth Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 Hi Chewy, I am still not sure why i installed vista on this box What do you mean by syinching the ram cpu thing? I was thinking of upgrading but since i do not use this box more for just recording and TV-tuner stuff it should be ok, I think PS:anyway i was sick of all this new standards, sockets, DDR2/ddr1 type modules and surely do now know if upgrading a box is better than buying yourself one for 3 years and throwing out of the window the old one..... the time of celerons/P3 and Duron/Athlons was better than now IMHO here below is the log: --------[ Overclock ]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPU Properties: CPU Type AMD Athlon XP 2400+ CPU Alias Thoroughbred-B CPU Stepping B0 CPUID CPU Name AMD Athlon XP 2400+ CPUID Revision 00000681h CPU Speed: CPU Clock 1989.94 MHz CPU Multiplier 15.0x CPU FSB 132.66 MHz Memory Bus 165.83 MHz CPU Cache: L1 Code Cache 64 KB L1 Data Cache 64 KB L2 Cache 256 KB (On-Die, Full-Speed) Motherboard Properties: Motherboard ID 06/28/2005-VT8377/VT8237-A7V600 Motherboard Name Asus A7V600 (6 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 WiFi, 3 DDR DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN) Chipset Properties: Motherboard Chipset VIA VT8377 Apollo KT600 Memory Timings 2.5-3-3-7 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) Command Rate (CR) 2T SPD Memory Modules: DIMM1: Samsung M3 68L6523CUS-CCC 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) DIMM2: Transcend 1 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) BIOS Properties: System BIOS Date 06/28/05 Video BIOS Date 03/11/13 Award BIOS Type Award Modular BIOS v6.0 Award BIOS Message ASUS A7V600 ACPI BIOS Revision 1009 Beta 005 DMI BIOS Version ASUS A7V600 ACPI BIOS Revision 1009 Beta 005 Graphics Processor Properties: Video Adapter PowerColor Radeon 9600 Pro GPU Code Name RV350 (AGP 8x 1002 / 4150, Rev 00) GPU Clock 398 MHz (original: 398 MHz) Memory Clock 202 MHz (original: 203 MHz) well for starters why in the heck did you load vista on that old box? pretty sure the top fsb on that old amd board is 333 running sych ram cpu is the way to go under computer overclock quick report you will get a screen like this post this section CPU Properties: CPU Type AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU Alias Venice S939 CPU Stepping DH-E3 CPUID CPU Name AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ CPUID Revision 00020FF0h CPU Speed: CPU Clock 2249.92 MHz CPU Multiplier 9.0x CPU FSB 249.99 MHz (original: 200 MHz, overclock: 25%) Memory Bus 249.99 MHz CPU Cache: L1 Code Cache 64 KB (Parity) L1 Data Cache 64 KB (ECC) L2 Cache 512 KB (On-Die, ECC, Full-Speed) Motherboard Properties: Motherboard ID 63-1408-000001-00101111-063005-K8T800P$A0036001_BIOS DATE: 06/30/05 17:34:14 VER: 08.00.09 Motherboard Name Asus A8V Deluxe (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DDR DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394) Chipset Properties: Motherboard Chipset VIA K8T800Pro, AMD Hammer Memory Timings 2.5-4-4-10 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) Command Rate (CR) 1T 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) BIOS Properties: System BIOS Date 06/30/05 Video BIOS Date 04/08/11 DMI BIOS Version 1014.008
dontasciime Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 You need to set your memory to 266 [133x2] and your CPU to 266 [133x2] , that way you are running them synchronous and the best your system will handle. (at the minute your cpu is @ 133x2 [266 effective] and your memory @ 165x2)[333 effective] out of sync Running your memory at 266 will also allow you to lower the CAS and therefore the latency of the memory will be better, you also may be able to do 1T command rate instead of the 2T Set your memory in bios to 2.0-3-3-6
Soggoth Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 ok. so here are some more news, i set the speed of the memory to 200(400mhZ) and it booted and the test i did for memory in vista has been done without any errors. The problem is that after a certain amount of time vista reboted by itself so no go for 3.0-3-3-8 and 400Mhz 266 for memory and cpu is working but i already tried with 2.5-3-3-6 as this was what the auto bios fuction selected and it didn t work... ill try again btw... hey thanks dontasciime, i'll post the info as soon as i try again ;D bye You need to set your memory to 266 [133x2] and your CPU to 266 [133x2] , that way you are running them synchronous and the best your system will handle. (at the minute your cpu is @ 133x2 [266 effective] and your memory @ 165x2)[333 effective] out of sync Running your memory at 266 will also allow you to lower the CAS and therefore the latency of the memory will be better, you also may be able to do 1T command rate instead of the 2T Set your memory in bios to 2.0-3-3-6
