I have several issues... please reference the information below when appropriate (bold stuff is mostly what I am questioning).
I bought 2 sets of Dual Channel OCZ Gold Rev. 2 PC4000, yet one of the 4 sticks identifies as OCZ5001024ELDCGE-K where the other 3 identify as OCZ5001024ELDCGER2, is this normal or should I send it back? The system is not stable at 250mhz 2.5-3-3-8, x9.5.
The DMI Baseboard info identifies as 1.xx when it is supposed to be a Rev. 2 board, is this just an oversight?
Other than these technicalities, I am having issues with my filesystem and memory benchmarks.
Filesystem benchmark for two 32gb raptors in a stripe (64kb) is reading out at ~70mb/sec, which seems about half of what it ought to be (and what sandra has for that configuration as comparison) - hooked up to the Promise 378 controller using 1.00.1.37 drivers. I also have a WD2500JD on the VIA controller using driver 4.10a and it is recording ~40mb/sec transfer rates which also seems low.
My RAM benchmarks also seem to be about half of what they ought to be... ~2800 int/float avg where they ought to be ~5500? They do register as Dual Channel when booting up.
The CPU benchmarks are exactly where they ought to be for Athlon 64 at 2.4ghz.
I have a Plextor 712sa and the MB BIOS does not recognize it as a bootable device for some reason.
I am running out of ideas for these problems, I hope someone can help.
Note: The HD/RAM benchmarks are also low like above at stock everything.
