Renmazuo Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi This has been driving me insane and was wondering if anyone can help out. I am running a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI MB, Athlon 3700+, XMS Twinx 1024C2, Gigabyte 6600GT and an IDE HDD. I can't seem to run my in Dual Channel as the system won't boot up at all. I can't put them in two orange slots or two purple slots, only one in each an it runs in single channel 64bit when I do so. I'm thinking of getting bigger fans and a new video card to start OCing but I don't want the RAM to bottleneck the system, especially when it is supposed to run in DC. On the DIMMs: CMX512-3200C2, XMS3202V5.1, 0503049-1, XMS3200, 512MB, 400MHZ, CL2. This is written on both DIMMs so they definitely match. I checked the compatibility list and the MB and RAm are compatible. The MB is up to the latest revision, changing the power supply to 450W didn't work and I even tried my friend's Corsair LED XMS DIMMs and they comp just won't boot. Any help will be greatly appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmazuo Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Also, I just ran AMD CPUinfo and initially Memory Speed Bus read 166MHz. I read one of the links in Ram Guy's sig and discovered it needs to be 200MHz to run DC for DDR400 RAM, I think. I played around with the BIOS and now it's 200MHz. I tried to run DC again and system doesn't boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmazuo Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 No responses :( Never mind, after failing to boot for the last time, the BIOS reverted back to default settings. I took both out and pushed them back in QUITE hard in dual channel slots out of frustration, and left it in there. The next time I booted up, and have forgotten they were in DC slots, I was shocked to see the start up screen read "dual channel 128 bit" :eek: Now the little ****s worked! Anyway, thanks to the linnks in Ramguy's sig, I configured them to 2.5-3-3-6 and the system is noticeably faster in general, FPS is slightly higher in games like HL2 and CS :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
