Can anyone tell me what the best memory timing's are for Geil 512meg 2x256 dual channel pc3200 400mhz ram,on a Epox 8rda3+ mainboard,with a AMD 3200+Barton 400mhz fsb cpu...Running stable now at 2.0-6-3-3 FSB400mhz.
Just want to know if I should change these settings for the better,or leave well enough alone.?Thanks

2-3-3-11 Should be your best bet, NF2 boards love that 11.

Is that faster than the 2-3-3-6 I have now,what''s the difference from the 6 to the 11? just curious.....Thanks.
 
For your explanation check the sticky in this forum called " Memory: Basics, Tweaking & Overclocking " There is a section about a third of the way down called "The Anomaly: nVIDIA’s nForce2 and tRAS". But yes 11 will be faster for you. Unless you know what chips are on those I would just find the highest FSB you can obtain staying 1:1 with your timings of 2-3-3-11.

ok,memory is set at 2.0-3-3-11 2.736v Vdimm.Didn't really notice a difference from 2.0-3-3-6.But stable....11 is better though correct?..FSB in bios is set at 200mhz.
System seem's stable.running Farcry game ect.all ok.Thanks

The difference is probebly not really noteable, you will get 40mb more in Sandra but thats about it.


ok,you think I should just stay here then? seem's to be stable.
 
I used to have 2x256 Geil GD DC PC3500 on my old nf7-s. I ran it at like 210fsb 2-3-3-11 daily. My brother now has it in his PC running 200fsb 2-3-3-11 at default voltage daily on his nf7-s.

ok,That's cool,I have the amd 3200+ 400,and the geil pc3200 400 2x256 dual channel.......running 2-3-3-11 200fsb in bios..maybe I can crank it up to 210fsb,see what happens.
 
Find out if it likes volts. Btw, another thing to tell ya. I highly doubt that it will do 217fsb (rated speed) at cas 2. I sent mine to Geil for an RMA and the replacements still couldn't do it. I just don't think it runs as it should on nforce2.
