4800+ Toledo and 4x512mb - 400 mhz?

[THILE]

I have just tried to run my 4x512 mb at 400 mhz on my gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI.

My cpu is a AMD Athlon 64 X2, 4800+ Toledo

Before I had an athlon 64 3500+ Winchester, and tried to run 4x at 400. But I found out that the memory controller couldn?t handle it. Well AMD said that the new veince core (and later cores) was able to handle it. So my new 4800+ should let me run 4x 512mb at 400 mhz.

Have any of you got it to work. If I let bios decide by auto, it still runs 333 mhz. I then tried to force it, I set the timing to T2, and 400 mhz. Then the system loads windows xp, it reboots.

I once read a review of the veince core, and they maniged to run 4x at 400 mhz. How did they do it?

It should be able to do 400mhz at 2T, but it really all depends on your board.

Yeah, it really depends on the board.

I ran 4x512 with no trouble on an ASUS A8N-E, running 250 2.5-3-3-7 @ 2T. 1T obviously was out of the question.

hmm. I was convinced that the mobo was not that important since the memory controller is in the cpu. I'm now writing an email to gigabyte.

Theoretically, yes.

You should be able to run @ 400 2T.

Not all motherboard/CPU combinations like that unfortunately though.

Good news is, even though it's annoying, 2 GB @ 333 > 1 GB @ 400 still
