da-bull Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 RAM GUY, I purchased 4 - CMX512-3200C2PRO memory modules from 2 different online retailers ( 2 from each – each vendor was running a different sale ) Now that I finally have all of the parts to build my rig I noticed the following. All of the modules list CMX512-3200C2PRO V 5.1 except 1 module list CMX512-3200C2PRO V 4.1. I also have one 5.1 module that appears to have a physical LED problem (There is something white underneath the LED sticker blocking the LED. (Only on 1 LED) Please let me know if the v 4.1 module will cause a compatibility problem and can I in any way remove the LED sticker and replace it or RMA the module. Thanks, :D: DA-Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Please let me know if the v 4.1 module will cause a compatibility problem I'm guessing you have'nt tried all 4 modules together yet? In general, when running more than one stick they should be the same version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 11, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 11, 2005 You do realize that you would by default run the memory at DDR333 when you install more than 2 double sided modules, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Guy, You will have to excuse me for I am memory nOOb. Memory is one area that I really never paid to much attention to until now. I have always just purchased the recommended type and max amount for each particular machine. (And yes as always corsair) So with that said … What do I need to do or buy to run my new rig at optimal speed and performance? ( My intent is 2 GB of system memory ) Thanks, DA-Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 It is a design limitation of the memory controller on the older AMD64s that 4 sticks run at a max of 333 Mhz. To run 2 GB, you'd have to get 2 x 1 GB sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
