nForce2 not good with PC2700???

[bauerbrazil]

Hi, i have 2 sticks of 512MB Samsung PC2700 and a MSI KT3 Ultra2, this memory could do 185MHz.

I'm thinking to get a nForce2 board, but I'm seeing people having trouble with this setup.

Anyone is running nForce2 with Samsung PC2700 here???

i had a stick of samsung 256mb pc2700 on the a7n8x. it worked perfectly

Certain sticks of 512MB Crucial PC2700 will not work with NForce2 chipset. I just sent a stick back to Crucial because of this...

I've only seen it being Crucial's problem with their PC2700 line. And its not a pervasive problem, some people have got them to work correctly, others aren't so lucky. If you really want to make sure, get some Corsair. 😀

Add 512MB sticks of Kingston ValueRam PC2700 to the list of memory to avoid when using nForce2 motherboards.

Just to know, your memory is C-TCB(Samsung PCB) or D-TCB(Generic PCB)?

Thanks.

Ditto. That and Crucial...if only I'd waited a week longer before buying memory, I would've known.

I have 2 sticks of 256MB Samsung PC2700 (all samsung, no generic parts) running at 200mhz, 6-3-3-2 on a MSI K7N2-L, and an exact same memory configuration on an Abit NF7-S.

Yeah, I'm running 2x512 sticks of Corsair in my Chaintech 7NJS, and although it won't do CAS 2 like originally advertised (back in Jan., I think they've changed it now) it's currently doing 190 in my board. It's good stuff, and I'd probably buy from them again, albeit after a little more research.
