M102 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Guys I have a pair of mixed VS1GB533D2. It works fine and no problems exist but one thing i found out using Sandra is that my Dual channeled ram run at 64bit... not 128bit. I have seen generic ram in VIA chipsets running at dual channel 128bit... Just wondering why my near $450 ram and m/b setup wont run at 128bit... I may sound a bit noob but im just a junkie when it comes to these matters...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJLeong65 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Which slots did you place the memory modules in? That can certainly affect whether your system runs in 64-bit single-channel mode or 128-bit dual-channel mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M102 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 they are on same coloured slots (both black i think... its a intel 945G board) and just to be sure i matched the dimm slot numbers (or letters)... I used to be a technician at a parts distributor u know... :D: i think its because my sticks are mixed... as in they were bought seperately in single packs and have 2 months difference between them when i bought them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M102 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks for the help Ramguy but i have one last question (or an alternative)... Because i live in Australia... Do i have to send it to the States? Or would i be able to send it back to the distributor? Just curious cos i have a friend that deals with the Corsair distributor here in Australia (Altech).

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 21, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 21, 2006 You would have to talk to them and see if they will do that for you, but if you did not purchase them from that reseller I would not be surprized if they refused.
