Mem SPeed Problems

[mhan80]

Supposingly I have Toshiba Cas 2 ram but I dont believe the place where i bought it? When i do the benchmark I get lower results when I put it at cas2 than when I put it at auto in the msi motherboard options. And I do not get even close to the results as the otehr cas 2. Is is because Im running win2000

when at cas 2 option 375/430
When at Dram timng(auto) 416/501

does this mean i have cas 3 ram ?
oh yeah i do not overclock anything
Also in array memenory used it say 128mb does that mean one of my ram does not work?

When you set the memory settings manually, are you setting it to 100Mhz or 133Mhz? It may very well be that the AUTO mode is setting it to 133Mhz and you are manually setting it at 100Mhz, which would explain the difference in scores. If possible, set the RAM to 133Mhz CAS2 Turbo in the BIOS and see what scores you get at that point, and see how they compare to the 'AUTO' scores...also, with that amount of memory, make sure you set SDRAM Bank Interleave to 4. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but I know that it improved the scores on my systems...

I did put it at cas2 and PC-133 and it was slower
