giz Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi all, Right now, my machine is sluggish. I have a pair of Corsair TwinX 512MB matched pair in there right now and want to go straight to 2gb. The memory recommended by the Corsair site is: You searched for theShuttle SB61G2V3 CMSS1GB-400 Details Part # » CMSS1GB-400 Type » DDR-400 (PC-3200) Size » 1GB Package » 184-pin DIMM Details Max Memory » 2.0 GB Expansion Slots » 2 sockets CPU Socket » Intel Pentium 4 Details » 400/533/800MHz FSB, Intel 865G Chipset A Complete List of Modules Compatible with your Product Part # Size CMSS1GB-333 1GB CMSS1GB-400 1GB I want to know if my computer can take this memory: http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/xms.html A local craigslister has a pair of 1GB. I've asked for the model # thanks, giz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Well if that's what they recommend then that's what they recommend. Does the shuttle bios have memory timings / voltage settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I really could not say I've looked into that part. I did find this googling http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx?page=2&articleid=155&cid=8 The SB61G2 is equipped with an Award / Phoenix v.6.00G BIOS that could be found on any board, large or small. From the Integrated Peripherals, users can enable or disable the integrated components, and determine whether to use IDE, SATA, or a combination of both types of drives. Memory timings are specified in the Advanced Chipset Features, and the speed is chosen, but only as a subset of the FSB of the CPU. For example, DDR400 can only be enabled when using an 800MHz FSB CPU. If a 533MHz FSB is installed, then the only speed choices are 200/266/333. We also were able to set the frame buffer size of the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 here, up to a maximum of 16MB. The PC Health section of the BIOS has some options on controlling the speed of the exhaust fan, and in turn, controlling the noise output. The default setting here is titled 'Smart Fan', which will automatically raise the fan speed at certain temperature levels that the user can set. Otherwise, you can set the fan at four settings: Ultra Low (<2000rpm), Low, Mid, or Full (>3500rpm). Unlike XPC systems in the past, the SB61G2 is completely overclockable. The CPU's Front Side Bus (FSB) can be set to any speed between 100MHz and 255MHz, in 1MHz increments. To support overclocking the FSB, the CPU, DDR, and AGP voltages can all be raised. CPU Voltage can be raised from 1.5V all the way up to 1.85V, while the DDR voltage choices are far less, going only as far as 2.75V. These choices are more than welcomed but care must be taken since heat is definitely a consideration in small enclosures like these. And a bit more googling shows people using it, I think: http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/95/81/ http://www.techtree.com/techtree/jsp/article.jsp?print=1&article_id=53758&cat_id=621 So TwinX and XMS are in the same family? much appreciate the help from you! giz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 In otherwords you don't have the Shuttle yet :) Well, it does have configurable memory timings, and it can support up to 2.75 DDR voltage, so it may. From the FAQ section: What, exactly, is TWINX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I found out the model number that is being offered on craigslist CMX1024-3200C2PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 8, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 8, 2006 You can use two of those in your system but I would not suggest mixing memory in any system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi Ram Guy, So you think the two are interchangable then? I only have two slots so I'm looking to replace my 2 512mb sticks with 2 1GB sticks. thanks, giz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 8, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yes, just dont mix 512 meg and 1.0 Gig modules and you should be fine and when you chnage modules just go to Bios setup and load setup defaults and set the memory voltage to 2.7 Volts!
