Bullseye21 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi, I'm relatively new to this stuff and was just trying to find out some information on what ram I should buy, and what things I should change in BIOS. I have an: Asus A7N8X2.0 Deluxe Motherboard AMD Athlon Barton XP 2800+ 2.09Ghz 128mb Radeon 9800 BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD ASUS A7N8X2.0 Deluxe ACPI BIOS Rev 1006 512 MB of Ram - 1x Corsair CMX512-3200LL DDR400 Here is my current Bios settings: Advanced Chipset features CPU external frequency ----166MHz CPU Freq. Multiple setting----auto X Cpu freq. multiple----------12.5x System perfomance---------Aggressive X Cpu Interface-------------Aggressive Memory Frequency---------100% X Resulting Frequency------166mhz X Memory timings------------Aggressive X SDRam active precharge delay----5 X SDRAM ras to cas delay----------2 X SDRam ras precharge delay-------2 X SDRam CAS latency--------------2T FSB spread spectrum-------------Disabled AGP spread spectrum--------------Disabled Cpu V core setting----------------Auto X Cpu V core-------------------1.650v Graphics aperature size----------128mb AGP freq-------------------------auto System Bios Cacheable------------Disabled Video Ram Cacheable--------------Disabled DDR referance voltage------------------2.6v AGP VDDQ voltage-----------------------1.5v AGP 8x support--------------------Enabled AGP fast write Capability----------Disabled (The current BIOS Settings were altered due to trying to run the 1 ram stick under optimum settings... for some reason i couldnt load up anything so i had to reset the cmos and revert back to default settings.. I forgot what my original settings were so I tryed my best to remember) - Its weird, why would optimum settings make nothing load? Anyway...The question is, what ram should I buy? and what should my new BIOS settings be? (btw I want to upg to 1gig of ram) I probably havnt included all the info needed, but if you could correct me, I'll fix it up in my next post. Thanks.

CMC_SAVAGE Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I'd go with the TWINX1024-3200XL's. And your BIOS settings look fine. Maybe bump the Dimm Voltage to 2.8 for 1GB. Is your CPU unlocked..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullseye21 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 what do you mean by, "is my cpu unlocked"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 what do you mean by, "is my cpu unlocked"? Can you change the Multiplier? Also, can your CPU hit a 400 FSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
