PQI Memory Question

[Xtreme Barton]

got some pc4000 and ran sandra 1gb non dual channel..
it comes up with this under the graph when done ..
what is the 2CMD ?? is that teh same as 1t command (cpc on) ??



Logical/Chipset 1 Memory Banks
Bank 0 : 512MB DDR-SDRAM 2.5-4-4-11CL 2CMD <--------Bank 1 : 512MB DDR-SDRAM 2.5-4-4-11CL 2CMD
Channels : 1
Speed : 2x 226MHz (452MHz data rate)
Width : 64-bit
Maximum Memory Bus Bandwidth : 3616MB/s (estimated)

correct.

i thought that command was controlled by the bios ..

also when you get higher rated ram is it 2t or does it depend ??

would you reccomend me returning it ??

and i take it sandra is just getting reading from spd. instead of bios ??

[Know Nuttin]

depends on the ram, not all ram will come rated as 1T.

You should be able to control the Command rating (1T or 2T) in the bios.

I don't trust SPD readings, they aren't always what the manufacturer says they are. Don't know where the fault lies but I always set the timings manually.

If you have PC4000, why are you running at 226 instead of 250?

cause i have a locked barton at the moment .. 2500 .. highest i can get it running is 440 fsb .. not bad for a desktop i think most people average around 440 450 fsb with these .. im gonna order a mobile and then next spring upgrade to a64 .. but how much performance difference is there really ??

i tried a bios with cpc on and sandra says its 2cmd .. so i dunno ??
