CUSL2 and Mushkin HP Rev2 Strangeness

[MoneyMINTR]

Me too, I have the same memory (djohn's group buy) with the black PCB's.

I was able to get it at 222 5,7T at 139FSB. At 140FSB it would hang right after detecting the hard drives. At 141 and higher it would hang at the PnP detection process. However it was able to do 143FSB at 222 7,9T.

Here are the sandra scores for 139FSB at 222 5,7T. I have 2 sticks of the 128MB installed. Running win98 with a P3 700E.

ALU 420
FPU 493

The test was run once right after win98 booted up.

P3 700E @ 1022 @ 1.65v

My Mushkin Rev2 have black PCB's and I can't do 2,2,2,5/7 @133 and I have an EB chip. I might just send them back for a replacement.

ok some settings that may be helpful to you when benchmarking with sandra at 222 5,7T. I really don't know if it makes a difference, but someone emailed me and here's what i'm using. Remember your scores might be different because I have 2 sticks installed of the 128MB high perf. rev2.


1. BIOS version 1002 (final)
2. RAM Driving mode strong

I also have two sticks of the Mushkin Rev2s with the black PCBs and I can't do 2,2,2,5/7 @133. I am not running the system out of spec either. I set it to strong and it still did not work. Hey, if you have a rev2 chip that can do 2,2,2,5/7 @133 and above consider yourself lucky.

Hey Guys.I have 1 stick of Mushkin's Mosel Vitalic & 1 stick of Memory
Man's Mosel Vitalic(256Mgs),with a P!!! 700 @933 at 1.7v and have NO
trouble running it 22257 at 133 FSB on my CUSL2.I have not run it with
just one stick or the other though.Maybe I'll try it and get back to you.

PS. running final BIOS 2002
setting is on strong

What do you guys select for SDRAM Page Closing Policy? I can't seem to find any information on this... one guy told me that this option is very controversial though, and some sources say to keep it on All banks but the default setting is 1 bank... can anyone shed some light on this?

i can get my infineon ram to 150 2-2-2 5/7 but not stable
windows will load but not stable
maxes out at 145 2-2-2 5/7
infineon 128mb x 2
mushkin too much money hehe
infineon 40% cheaper in price

Bump!

We've been pickin on Mushkin's Mosel Vitalic Memory a bit here, but the Memory Man Module uses the same chips. Has anyone had any difficulty getting Memory Man modules with Mosel Vitalic chips to do 22257 @ 133mhz?

My small sample of two 128mb Memory Man modules worked fine at that setting, but if it is a luck of the draw kind of thing, perhaps someone wasn't so forurtunate with Memory Man.
