Ok here are my current specs: Albatron i845PE pro 800 motherboard, P4 2.4 B 533 fsb CPU, albatron gf4 ti4200 videocard.
Now here is the problem. I cannot get any memory to be stable other than my generic samsung DDR 333 memory. I am currently using the Corsair 512 MB 3200C2 single stick, and using an FSB of 180 with a 1:1 ratio. That equates to DDR 360. My system is not stable and prime crashes within 5 seconds. I have the memory voltage at 2.8 (highest it can go), agp voltage up to 1.6 (highest it can go), and my timings are 2.5, 7, 3, 3 (highest it can go).
Now, when I swap that memory out and replace it with my samsung, same FSB, i can even lower the DDR voltage to 2.6, same timings, agp voltage back down to 1.5 I can run PRIME 95 all day and all night, and 3dMark loops all day and all night.
What the heck is going on. I've gone through so many different DDR 400 memory modules and NONE of them have been able to stable at anything remotely close to DDR 400. I am tired, and about to give up. Is it possible that I got 3 bad memory modules from FRY'S?
