"When you go into the BIOS, what memory timings can you adjust?"
I'm not there right now, I'll have to walk back over there later today and check.
Free beer anyway.:beer: Gotta love retired life folks..
He says CPU-Z indicates 4-4-4-12 at 266 MHz. That should be fine.
"When you look at the Q6600, it's 266, so how will adding /800 memory increase any speed?"
OK, gotcha. With a stock FSB of 266 in the Q6600, Stock ram speed is fine, and PC2-5300 ram is not being used fully anyway. Overclocking would be a different story, which won't happen on this board.
"Do you do any tasks that require 3.25GB of RAM? What benefit is there to going from 2 - > 3.25GB for the apps you use?"
I'll have to check and see what he runs.
I want to get educated on this since I will probably go for a quad CPU myself.
I'll just experiment on his rig. :evil:
