How do I find out if my Cas 2-2-2 Ram is actually 2-2-2?

[mamisano]

Just received my OCZ PC150 Cas 2-2-2 Ram. When I go into Sandra, it lists the Ram as Cas3 up to 133mhz. When I use H.Oda's program to modify my memory settings to Cas 2-2-2, my computer locks up, but it will accept 2-3-2....all at 133mhz.


Thanks

I ordered a stick of Value Select Ram but they sent me a stick of OCZ PC150 2-2-2 ram either by mistake or they were out of stock on the stuff I ordered. So far, I'm doing Cas 2 at 133. I've upped the memory speed to 140 and it was still okay. Sandra does list the ram as 3-3-3 though. I'm not sure where they get their ram from, it seems to me that they're testing sticks for speed and stability and then marking them as such.

Don't worry about how Sandra reports ram. You may have a bad stick of ram if it won't do 222 when its rated for it. See if someone can test it for you or just send it back.

first i think you have to go to your bios adjust some setting there. cos if you don't auto set to cas 3 try it and it may help ya

Use s SPD program and it will tell you, I have one somewere and i will e-mail you if i find it. Or, you can check out the chip markings.

Where can obtain the H.Oda program? Wouldn't mind tinkering with my Pro2A's settings beyond the Auto... since my KingMax Tiny BGA is supposed to do CAS2 144 mhz when it's labelled CAS3...
