Hello all,
I recently bought a bunch-o-stuff from newegg.com . Among my purches was an IWILL KK266-R.
My system:
Win 98
Iwill kk266-r
(2) 40GB Ibm 60 gxp's
256MB Memory pc150 cas2
Geforce 3
Creative SoundBlaster Live Gamer
and Plextor CD Writer
Problem:
I have run SiSoft and it shows my system to be screaming fast, except for the memory.
SiSoft rates my system on par with a 1Ghz Athlon.
With the results:
INT ALU/Ram Bandwidth 541MB/s
FLOAT FPU/Ram Bandwidth 608MB/s
I have also run a program called MEM86. That alarms me even greater!
Result:
AMD Athlon 1397 Mhz
L1 Cache 128K 13967 MB/s
L2 Cache 256K 4655.9 MB/s
Memory 256K 27.5 MB/s (********?????????*********)
This program has features to test for memory errors. There were no errors reported, even after 9 hours of running the program.
I also have a problem with Raid. It will not partion or format more than 12.9GB.
I don't know If that is my lack of knowledge configuring raid arrays or the mobo.
The drives work perfectly in non-raid though.
I mention it for possible enlight to memory problem.
What I have done:
I have swaped my memory with two other computers. All memory worked fine in the other computers. MEM86 reported 100 to 107 MB/s (other computers have 100MB FSB).
All three memory sticks reported 27 MB/s on my computer.
I have checked the BOIS and set the timming to the lowest setting. I dont have those numbers off hand. I think they were 5-2-2-2.
I only have a few days to get a RMA# from newegg. If you have any advice please post.
Thankfull for Advice
Andy
