your memory score are kinda low

 

[txgixer]

It is set by default to SPD . . . that was the only way to get stability . . . . I had been running 2-2-2

Any suggestions . . . .

 

[SupermanCK]

do you have mem/fsb bus ratio option? set it to 3:4 or anything that will run your mem bus higher

 

[SupermanCK]

it will boost all your score for a few hundred points more...
it did for me and my pcmark2002 mem score is 6000+
maybe you should try just using one stick of memory

 

[txgixer]

I have 1:1 and 3:4, it is running 1:1 currently, and I will change to 3:4 when I get home from work

I wish I could find a single 1-GB stick of PC2700, but I have yet to see one

What about dropping the 256-MB sticks and running (2) 512-MB sticks ???

Thanks for the replies

i doubt you'll get cas2 running at 3:4. but you will likely get cas2.5.
at your fsb (138?), this will give you a higher score than 1:1 cas2.

366 CL2.5 >> 276 CL2
