I went ahead and tried out Sandra for the heck of it. I don't know exactly what to go by but anyway; @1T RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 : 6850 MB/s RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2 : 6841 MB/s @2T RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 : 6685 MB/s RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2 : 6651 MB/s even...

I just realized something it could be. I didn't install any jumpers on the HDD when I installed it. It is recognized as the Master Drive in BIOS. I got the Drive OEM, it didn't come with any instructions or even any jumpers. Would I have to install any jumpers if this is my only Hard Drive?

Ah, yes, my old one was IDE. Only thing is a lot of the reviews on newegg people said things like "loads windows twice as fast as my IDE drive". http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16822152020 I usually don't just go by newegg reviews but many people said the same...

This is my new PC I built it a couple days ago: Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Asus M2N-E AM2 nForce 570 Ultra DDR2 800 2x512MB Corsair XMS2 Everything is running great, stable and nice performance. One thing I did notice was it seemed like Windows XP (sp2) is taking forever to boot up. I didn't...

I timed the loading times in HL2, Quake 4, and CounterStrike Source (starting up the game, and loading a saved file [in CSS just loading it up]). I used CPUZ to check and make sure the CR was right after changing the BIOS. Interestingly, the times were EXACTLY the same. After finding this...

Okay, I set it to 1T. It's fine and stable but I haven't noticed any difference. My 3Dmark06 score went from 4371 to 4365 so it actually dropped an insignificant amount. Where would I be more likely to tell the difference between the 1T and 2T command rate? Game loading times?

My RAM defaulted to 2T like I thought. I have yet to try it on 1T. I think I will at least update the BIOS before trying that.

Actually I just read a couple reviews on my RAM where people could NOT get it to run at 1T. So I might as well just fil up all my slots anyway right, since it's probably 2t in the first place. BTW, I truly appreciate your help.

Thanks for the fast reply! Right, I wasn't planning on overclocking. My motherboard can only go to 1.95V on the memory. http://www.techreport.com/etc/2005q4/mem-latency/index.x?pg=8 According to that, the difference between 1T and 2T is nothing on higher resolutions. Also Sandra seems to...

Hi, this is my first post. I have a dilemma about RAM. Here is my PC: Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2G Mainboard: ASUS M2N-E AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570U Memory: CORSAIR XMS2 (2 x 512MB) DDR2 800 When I want to upgrade memory, what route do you advise I take? I read that filling all slots...
