pc100 to pc133 and no difference!!!!

[forsure]

I went from 128 megs of pc100 to 256 megs of pc133 and I see no difference. I'm running a cel 566 o'ed to 851. Is there anything that I can do to improved the performance of my rams? Good lord!

Well, if you are using a celeron, then you won't see much diff if any...can you go to cas2? this will help a lot..I haven't tried any memory optimising prog's so I don't know their effect, but the only way to really improve your memory scores, is to overclock the memory bus as much as possible.
You don't mention the name of your chip or the mobo...as sometimes there are mainboard specific "tricks" that can be done...as well as the processor.
If you could repost with a little info as to what motherboard/ram/cpu you have..like the brand name, and model/revision of your mainboard, it would be more helpfull in finding a little more speed :-)

agreed with DocClock aka MadClocker. If you can get it to CAS 2 (and since it's 133 it shouldn't be too much of a problem, you will gain probably 12% performance.

Thanks for the reply. I've got an ABIT BH6 board and my ram is a Micron. I thought Cas 2 or 1 was something that was inherently permanent with a chip. I guess they can also be tweeked as well. Share the procedure if you can. Thanks. This forum is about one of the best places because of people like you and others.

in your bios under advanced you should find CAS or CL and be able to set it to 2 or 3.

You must first take off the setting for "by spd"

here's a website to set up your bios......

There are three adjustments you should make in bios for your ram.

CAS Latency
RAS to CAS Delay
RAS Precharge Time

They should all be set to 2T if you can run it stable. Oh yeah, there is a memory section of this board too where this probably should have been posted.
