IC7G good O/C, bad MEM score...why?

I've been reading other people's posts and memory scores. With my memory, I should be hitting high 4000's at least, or close to 5000, in Sandra 2003.

I'm barely hitting 3150.

My system is in my sig. I'm currently running at 3.24 GHZ, with the memory at 5:4, latency 2-5-3-3. I'll try lowering the 3's to 2's, which the memory should be able to do (at 432 MHz).

This is a stick of 512 MB of Kingston KHX 3500, that I'm feeding 2.7V.

I still don't see why my mem scores are so low.

PC3500 scores 3300 on the 845 chipset, according to Sandra.

Any ideas?

well you are using a dual channle board and if you had another stick you would prolly see those numbers.... but since i'm not to sure on the newest Mem ratios what speed is your mem running at?


5/4*180*2= 450mhz or 4/5*180*2= 288mhz ?

Yes, you need 2 of the same modules to enter the dual channel mode and see those numbers you want to see...

So get another 512MB stick!

Thanks!.
In other words: If I had bought 2 sticks of 256 MB, instead of my 1 stick of 512, my scores would have been higher also...

dang...
