pimpdaddy Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 OK i have a ai7 motherboard running a celeron 2.4 @ 3975mhz on a 221mhz fsb. Right now all i have is 512 megs of ram becasue the previous set of 1 gig patriot ram (crap ram) refused to post beyond 145mhz. I want to get back to 1 gig of ram so i can turn of my swap file again, and game in hl2 without the danmed level lags. so the questions is: i need ram under or equal to 300$ that will run 221mhz 1:1 @ 2.5.2.2 settings note that i am currently running the northbridge bootstrap at 800fsb so GAT is diabled note that i am not using the evil GURU chip either the board supports voltages up to 3.2 and i am running bios rev19 Ram suggestions ? aslo i would need the ram from Monarch/Newegg/Mwave as they are the few online sites i trust.. please email or write back!

leeghoofd Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Try Corsair XMS3200XL dude , runs great at 2.5-2-2-6 at 220Mhz ( at least on my Abit mobo ) Price was around 220 euro's for me that should be less than 300 quid you're talking about, plus they can give you more but at more relax timings ( 240Mhz here at 2.5-3-3-6 2.8 volts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 FYI, I've never heard of a system that doesn't have level lags when loading new levels in HL 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpdaddy Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Sadly mine did not, with a gig of ram the load times were a minute or less, with 512 its along the lines of 5 minutes between loads with a 8meg 7200rpm drive, which is utter bollocks... i can literaly make food between level loads... /sigh/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeghoofd Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 well level loading times are minimum but I don't seem to have meganoticeable lag once the level is loaded if that is what you all refer to as level lag. I love my S-ATA drive :) and the Ram thx Corsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
