Please try to answer as many of my questions as you can, I have a lot
Ok, for the first time ever I tried adjusting my ram timings, I have had my computer for 3 years. I have 384mb Crucial PC2100.
I tried 8852222 and my computer would not post. So then i laxed them a bit and tried a bunch of different settings and it still would not post. So I went and whined about it in the forums. Then I restarted and tried 8854222 and it booted fine. Then I tried 8852222 again and it booted fine! (Wierd.) Then I tried 8052222 and it also booted fine and then i ran Prime95 for 2.5 hours and there was no errors. The I tried 0052222 and it also booted fine! My 1800+ Palimino is at stock (1.533Ghz) and I'm not gonna OC it. What do you think? Why could I not speed up my ram timings at first, but then I could. Should I speed them up more (im at 0052222) or should I leave it at this for a while to see if its stable? I noticed a 450 point increase in 3dmark2001.
I have an epox-8k7a and i was not able to get my fsb above 145 without stability problems in games. I am thinkin this is because i have a epox-8k7a and it does not have a 1/5 divider. So i dont know if its the ram or it could be my pci card or 9700 thats limiting it. At some point I am gonna upgrade my cpu/mobo and oc a lot. If this ram can handle high fsb (it is crucial after all) then i would rather keep it then get expensive ram. Does the fact that I am getting pretty good ram timings mean that my ram will most likely be able to handle a high fsb?
So, should I speed up my timings even more? Are these good ram timings that I am at? An epox-8k7a does not have a 1/5 devider right? Do you think my ram can handle a higher then 145 fsb and it just my cards crapping out? Why the hell could i not speed up my ram timings at all, and then when i tried again i suddenly could speed them up a whole lot? Did they just need to get burned in?
I know these are a lot of questions, but it would be an enormous help if i could get them answered. Thanks!
