I purchased 2 New OEM 8389s to upgrade from 2 8378s. First problem I encountered was No post on first install. I used the bare essentials method with somewhat success(1 CPU 1 RAM, boot, off, add, repeat). Until the last stick, no POST. removed the stick, POST. swapped 2 sticks (still 8th empty) POST. So confirmed It was the 8th slot that was the problem.
Well booted to windows with 7 sticks. Noticed the load times, access times etc, more than I thought I would. BUT. a quick CPU-z showed CPU0 at 1600HT and CPU1 at 1000HT.(all power saving off)
My question is. Why a CPU swap could cause one RAM slot to go bad,
and why are the HT clocks different.(and iirc, 2200HT is what I should be seeing)
System Specs
