Good day all..
I have a MSI Neo2 Plat board with my 939 AMD64 3200+ cpu. I have always used 2X 512 of RAM (one was AZENRAM and the other was Corsair value). Both were the cheapest modules I could find. Anyhow I recently went out and bought 2 more modules (2 X 512 of OCZ budget PC3200 cas 2.5 RAM). Wth 4 modules as instructed and with limitations of the CPU I know I have to run at 333 rather than 400. However it would not boot no matter what I did.. no matter how lax I would set the RAM timings. I then exchanged that ram for 2 more of my original Corsair value 2.5 PC3200. Now it boots no problem and does not crash no matter what but I have to keep it a CAS3 and at 2T. Anything else and it either freezes or simply wont boot. All the RAM is CAS 2.5 and 3-3-8. I have that one sigle Azenram module and 3 Corsair.. would it make any difference if I exchange that last module for a Corsair to have 4 exact same modules or should I just trade in the RAM and get 2 X 1024 modules and just forget about it? AM I losing a crap load of performance for the sake of more RAM by these lax timings? If I were to change boaads and say go for a newer Nforce4 chipset (PCI-E) but stick with my current 939 cpu would it cure it of this problem?
thanks!
