Prindel Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I got the Asus A8V Rev 2.0 board here, and I want to know what is the memory you reccomend for that? I want it to be fast, and I want to go 2 gigs? Is it good to 4 512's or 2 1048 or what? Please let me know. Thanks Prindel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Welcome to the forums! Any particular reason you're looking into 2 GBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prindel Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Thanks for the welcome. My 3D graphics program is very demanding and the more memory I give it, The happier it is! :biggrin: What would you reccomend? :): Prindel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 3, 2004 For best performance I would not suggest more than 2 modules, so Twinx2048-3200C2 would be the fastest choice, but this part has been hard to get right now so Twinx2048-3200 will run great with this MB!

Prindel Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 I went with this memory instead since I saw you reccomend it for other people who have this motherboard. I'm just going to go with 1 gig for now since it seems like 2 gigs can cause problems I guess? I could not find that c2 you listed for the 2048, but I did see the 1048 for that. This 3200XL is good performance and has the lowest latency right, 2-2-2-5? Thanks for everything Prindel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 3, 2004 These modules will run great and should be in slots 2-4 (A2 and B2) and set the Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts and then set the timings as listed bellow. In addition if you have a 90nm CPU you will need to get the latest bios from ASUS Ver. 1.006 beta 6 or newer. CAS Latency CL=2.0 Row Cycle Time tRC Bios Default Row Refresh Cyc Time tRFC Bios Default Ras# to CAS# delay tRCD 3 (If it's stable you can try this at "2") Row to Row delay Bios Default Min Ras# Active Time tRAS 11 Row Precharge Time tRP 2 Write Recovery Time Bios Default Write to Read delay Bios Default Read to Write Delay Bios Default Refresh Period tREF Bios Default Enable 2T Timing Disabled Then test the system with http://www.memtest.org and make sure it's stable! If you have problems, I would set Enable 2T Timings to AUTO and test it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
