yes I am a noob at this so please bare with me. I recently baught the 8rda mobo with 2x 256mb geil ddr pc3200 cas 2.5 and a amd xp 2100+ B (0303). on my mobo the revision is 1.1 and on the nb and sb are A3. but that just run down of what i have so you guys know how to better answer my question. when I finaly put everytghing together and booted my pc first thing I did was update the bios to the newest one that epox has on there site. after that on the main post screen i notice that my ddr was not at 400 but at 200, so i went to the bios setup and choose 133fsb for the cpu. then saved etc. it then showed that my ram was at 266. so it was in some sense a improvement. I then went back to the bios setup and choose 166fsb and then saved. this time it stated my ram was at drr333. keep in mind that I had the memory timing on auto and not spd. when i put it on spd and saved. it showed that my memory frequency is 200mhz(ddr400)
what i guess my question is basicly, should i put auto or spd as my memory timming? and if auto or spd what are the proper timming my memory should have? currently on spd my memory is at 9.4.4.2.5 and the fsb speed spectrum is disabled along with the agp spectrum. also I cant seem to change any of the timming on the ram, how do change them to smaller numbers? please help this noobn understand what I need to do to obtain my ddr400 speed or best possible setting for my ram ty
also im using this program called fanspeed to check my cpu/system temps , if you guys know any better software to do this please let me know.
