I just received 2x256MB Mushkin lvl2 PC3500 for my NF7-S/Barton 2600+ 0311.
I know most people don't have problems with matching up two 256MB sticks (rather than purchasing a dual pack), but I wasn't so lucky. I can't get past 171MHz FSB, Vcore=1.75, Vdimm=2.9. My assumption is that these two sticks don't play nice with each other.
Alone, one stick can get to 230MHz, and the other to 240MHz before error surface in memtest86 test #5. But in dual channel mode (DIMM2 & DIMM3) they crap out.
Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't they do at least 200MHz together?
