A7s333 and corsair memory

I just recieved my new corsair xms3200c2 memory last night and installed it hoping to get all sorts of good overclockin out of my system ... however I have come to realize after buying a lifetime of abit boards the first asus I buy is there bigest piece of crap...


no voltage tweaks and I can am having major problems with the memory... my generic pc2100 memory (the cheapest I could find on the net a year ago) actually performs better ...


ok let me get a few things out of the way...
I have an a7s333
wd300(bb ithink) 7200rpm
Ati 8500 64mb retail.
athlon 1800xp (don't know the a#)
SB audigy
1 corsair xms3200c2 - 512
1 generic 512 ddr dimm.
toshiba dvd
320w ps (generic but no power issues)

I only run 1 stick of memory at a time (not both together)
I tried everything at the defaults
when I tried to change the timmings on the corsair to cas2 633
the system would not boot untill I reset the bios.

I have the latest released bios. (there are only 2)
asus has basicly said they do not really support this board but will not take it back... I think they may have even oem'd it from someone else then broke off the relationship...anyway,

the only test I have been using is pcmark I have sandra but didnot run it last night...

I do not think my corsair memory is bad but is it just the motherboard reading the spd wrong or is there something else out of wack... I bought the memory from spartan...

 
Well the SiS745 chipset wasn't a winner to start with and if you look at the bottom of this page you'll see that the board is extremely picky about memory 😉 No offense intended but did you do any real research on this board before buying it?
 
I bought it the week it came out and there are still not very many reviews on it... also asus has updated this webpage many times they used to say there would be voltage regulation also but then took that off the website. I think they oem'd it peronally.


I was also boycotting via at the time for some reason ... I think my next board will be with an intel chipset... 🙂


At least I already have the memmory...
