Wired Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Man that's a lot of info. Here's the summary: CPU Type Intel Pentium 4E, 2800 MHz (3.5 x 800) CPU Alias Prescott CPU Stepping C0 Asus P4SD-LE Chipset: i865PE (Springdale) NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT (128 MB) CAS Latency 3T RAS To CAS Delay 3T RAS Precharge 3T RAS Active Time 8T Looks like that board is an OEM one from a Compaq/HP PC. When using the TwinX1024-3200XL, did you remove the original memory? Does the BIOS have an option to change the memory settings or voltage?

vonneumann Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 yes, this is a Compaq 8000T and the mobo is OEM. There are limited options on the default BIOS setup, nothing to do with timing or voltage. Can I use another BIOS utility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 14, 2004 Well No; I would not suggest XMS3200XL with any OEM system, because the default voltage of XMS3200XL is 2.75 Volts and most OEM systems will not let you set the Dim Voltage. I would suggest you use Twinx1024-3200 with this system and replace the memory you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
