Hello guys,
Well this might sound a little bit stupid, but im gonna take that risk.
How can i tell if my memory is really a PC2700 and not a PC2100? How can i tell if it really runs at 333Mhz and not 266Mhz.
This is what i did: bought a Samsung 512Mb PC2700 ... BUT the pcb is not an original Samsung ... its another noname crap. The chips seems to be genuine Samsung. I have a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (supports DDR333) and hooked up the "Samsung" and i was able to run it at CAS 2 without problems. Note that i did not overclock anything. I left all sets as normal (133Mhz bus, selected 333Mhz for memory in bios, etc etc).
I tried with Sisoft Sandra to see some detected features/speed/etc and saw that the memory was running at 266Mhz. Is this strange or is it normal because the bus is at 266? Sandra returned this for the memory:
Bank 0: 256MB DDR-SDRAM 7-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.0-3-3CL 1CMD
Bank 1: 256MB DDR-SDRAM 7-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.0-3-3CL 1CMD
Bank Interleave: 4-way
Speed: 2x133Mhz (266Mhz data rate)
Multiplier 1/1x
Can any1 tell me of a way to find out for sure if my DDR is a true PC2700? From the Sandra readings above, should i understand that it is NOT a true PC2700?
And another question ... If i was able to run it at CAS 2, should i worry about its quality/speed?
Thanks for any help,
BoG
