crustaceo Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 hey, i have found that i have a serious problem with my rams (one stick didnt pass memtest #5 and there was a lot of errors - so i havent even tried #8 or a default test) and the other one even doesnt boot. i think after some overclock, downclock, overtimmings, downtimmings (LOL) experiences in my 4 x 512 rams i have damaged 2 sticks of samsung low-end rams. ok, i dont want to spend so much money with a 2 X 1GB OCZ high-end Kit. i'm a programmer and don't have much time to play games (my VGA isn't so good also). so, i'm thinking about a 2 x 512GB kit. i liked these options: DDR400 1GB (2 x 512MB) Geil Ultra X - GLXNF1GB3200DC DDR500 1GB (2x512) Geil Ultra - GL1GB4000DC BOX and as a cheaper choice there's it: PATRIOT 1GB (512MBx2) DDR400 (PDC1G3200LLK) is these geils a good option? is the patriot a good memory? what's the better choice? i'm not a overclock fanatic too. :] thanks ppl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz_mann Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 look at the recommended memory list here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24719 what sort of coding do you do? true code (as in Text) or rendering? (pictures) if test, 1GB is plenty, if rendering, GET AS MUCH AS U CAN! also with 4x512, make sure you have the "command rate" turned off n the BIOS. Is it is on, this will be ur problem. have you tried increasing you VDIMM (RAM Voltage), this can solve instability issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustaceo Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 i have tested each memory individually in the orange slot. i have put the 2T when running the 4 sticks config. it was working fine, but some problems apearead suddenly. so i have done these testes to check out the problem. and then: bad memory! just coding .NET and Java things... :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz_mann Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 ok ... so you get errors with individual sticks. 2x512 will be plenty ......... I am sorry you code .NET :-D Look on the I linked you too. (but Geil is pretty good ram) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
