steveili Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi. I have read in the P5LD2 manual that the mainboard is not compatible with Memory Module with 16 chips, but in the memory compatibility list a lot of 16 chip module are present. So do you know if the VSG1G667D2 can be mounted on the P5LD2? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 19, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 19, 2006 You would need to use DDR2-533 memory with that MB. I would suggest VS1GB533D2 with that MB. And the limit is By 16 IC's and since we use By 8 IC's there is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveili Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 According to the RAM selector http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/configurator_search_results.html I can use the 667D2 on the P5LD2. So, before your answer, I have bought the only available RAM that was indeed the VSG1G667D2 x2 kit and mounted on the board. Windows appears to work, but I experience strange behaviours, such as corrupted downloaded files. May I try to set the RAM in the BIOS as 533 MHz? Should I tweak with the RAM supply voltage? I want a super-stable machine for work, not a sometimes crashing one for gamer... Please help me. regards, Stefano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I believe you'll have the stock option of running DDR2-600 with an 800FSB processor. The support for DDR2-667 memory is only for 1066FSB processors or overclocked 800FSB processors. However, I'd suggest you try running a little more voltage with these modules (1.8-1.9 volts) and run Memtest86+ to check for memory errors.

steveili Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 The BIOS of the P5Ld2 does not complain if I set the RAM as 667, while the CPU clock is 200 Mhz. ANyway I shall try the memtest and eventually shall rise the RAM voltage. Thank you for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
