NokiaDude Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hello, I recently purchased a stick of Corsair 512mb DDR400 XMS-PT RAM. My motherboard is the Abit AT7-MAX2 coupled with an AMD Barton 2500+, which "unofficially" supports DDR400 RAM. As a precaution I run the RAM with no additional RAM @ DDR333. The first XP boot got to the Welcome screen before a bunch of error messages came up and the system froze. So, I un-installed the Corsair RAM and re-installed my Kingston 512mb HyperX DDR333 RAM. XP booted fine. I've tried clearing the BIOS, installing in different DIMM slots. The voltages seem fine and my temps are normal. What is going on?

NokiaDude Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Okay, I read the XMS faq and found out that the CAS is only 2.5 for AMD based sytems! Why is that? Is there a big difference between CAS2+DDR333 and CAS2.5+DDR400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
