Experience with PQI Turbo 2-2-2-5 1:1
Hey all. Thought I would share some of my experiences with PQI Turbo PC3200 2-2-2-5. Off the bat, just from some early testing I have to say this is some of the best mem for the money I have laid my hands on. I am new to AMD64 setups so memory is far from tweaked, and I am still having trouble getting video cards to run stably at the top speeds 1:1. I have been told by Abit that my rev of board has a working PCI lock, so I am still playing with the setup to find out how it likes to be massaged. These numbers are just from 1:1 testing on the following setup:
-AMD64 Winchester 3200+
-Abit AV8 s939
-PQI Turbo PC3200 2x256meg 2-2-2-5
-ATI 9800 Pro 256meg
-PCPower and Cooling 510 deluxe
-Windows XP (SP1)
The memory has been stable in memtest up to 335fsb 1:1 @ T1 cas2.5-4-4-7 Vdimm 2.65v so far, wont boot windows (again, still learning proper AMD64 method).
Stock speed - 200 fsb 2-2-2-5 T1 2.6V

(Note: CPU speed was held low for this test, doesnt compare well with the other tests in this post, the rest were held around 2000mhz)

I havent pushed much harder as I need to step back and address the vid card issue. Drivers tend to reset the card alot, I feel it may be insufficient cooling or the fact that I need to set a mem ratio. If you have any idea chime in. It shouldnt be mt HT bus, as I changed the multi to 2x for all tests to reduce the chances of of an unstable HT.
