Longun Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I am using an Abit NF7-S version 2 mobo with a XP3200 CPU I have two 512MB sticks of Corsair PC3200 Cas2 ram Because these sticks were not brought as a matched pair the mobo will only run them at DDR333 speed although it will run them in Dual Channel Mode. Is there any way I can force the mobo to run them at DDR400 speed therefore in sync with the CPU speed? If this is not possible, would fitting a pair of matched PC3200 sticks make any difference performance wise? Many thanks Longun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 That may be the reason. You may be able to force it, not quite sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longun Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 Does anybody know if the ram can be forced to run at DDR400 if so how? Othewise what performance gain would I get by fitting a matched pair of PC3200 ? Thanks Longun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 30, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 30, 2004 You should be able to set the memory frequency in the bios and normally this would be set to 100% so it is in sync with your CPU. Please check your manual for the exact settings to change or contact the MB maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
