![]() Found out that the computer would not even POST when CAS is lowered to 2 at stock 200 mhz on the 2.7V setting. Prime 95 test failed within 10 min! I then restarted the Prime 95 test using 220 mhz and I ended it after it ran for over an hour with no problems.Ģ) I then checked to see if the timings could be tightened. I settled on 225 mhz to attempt to test using a Prime95 torture test in Windows XP. I have seen the following results:ġ) When first testing memory settings with Memtest86+, using the "High" memory voltage setting (2.7V) and 2.5-3-3-6 timings in the Bios, I found that I started getting first pass errors at 227 mhz. In my case, I am using this memory with the ASRock 775I65G R3.0 motherboard (865G Northbridge), and a Pentium Dual Core E5800. When overclocking, it appears that milage will vary, and is probably a result of the specific environment created by the motherboard, processor, and memory. Popped in the memory and tested using Memtest86+ overnight with no errors at spec. Pros: This memory runs fine at the stated specifications (200 Mhz, 2.7V, 2.5-3-3-6). The only thing that prevents playing newer games is the lack of a multi core processor. Cost wise it is approaching less than $200 a year now. This machine was built 9 years ago as a near bleeding, I mean cutting edge machine and is still strong with small upgrades and video cards and such. Should hold me now until I can fund a new gaming quality machine. Turns out this seems to be a little better quality than what I almost bought and works just fine with the old SOYO motherboard. ![]() That was before I did a little more research. Overall Review: Almost bought some more Corsair memory. If your BIOS does not have these adjustments you probably better pass on getting this memory. The G.SKILL settings are 2.5-3-3-6 at 2.7VĪll I had to do in the Bios was set the tRAS to 6 and the Voltage settings were Default, 2.6V, 2.7V, and 2.8Vĭo a little reading and check your BIOS for the following setting adjustments!ĭDR Voltage 2.6V to 2.75V adjustment (higher is more stable) The Corsair settings were 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.5V The G.SKILL states on the stick that it needs 2.6 to 2.75V. Had no problems what so ever!Ĭons: This is NOT a con, just a heads up! My old Corsair memory ran at default 2.5V. I had 1 GIG of Corsair CMX512-3500C2PT installed for the last 9 years and it was fast and solid. The mother board bios was able to take the memory settings for the G.SKILL set with no problems. This machine can only run cards max unless you use way slower memory so it wasn't too much problem to go with a 2 gig set. Have finally hit the memory ceiling lately and it was time to add a little. 266MHz Have a 9 year old SOYO P4X400 Dragon Ultra Platinum motherboard that just needed more than the original 1 GIG that was installed way back when. It then tries to find a common CL rating, andĬhooses the maximum speed supported by each stick at that CL rating. The BIOS looks at the timing tables that are hardcoded ![]() However, if you keep the existing Dell ram, then the additional ram must beĭDR PC3200 CL=3 in order to get 400MHz speed. PC3200 CL=2.5 and it would run at 400MHz. If you completely removed the existing Dell ram, then you could install DDR Result in the memory bus slowing to 333Mhz With Cas Latency 3 or C元 rating should be used.ĭDR PC3200 memory from other manufacturers may work at the rated clock and If you are upgrading your 8300 system with DDR PC3200 memory, only memory Overall Review: Dimension 8300 systems using DDR PC3200 memory operate with a memory bus pair to replace the Dell dual channel 512m.b. so I ordered another matching dual channel 512m.b. I removed the Dell memory and it went back up to 400mhz. if I install it together which is exactly what it did. After I ordered it I read that I may have issiues with the latency being different than the Dell memory latency of CAS 3 and it may cause my computer to drop from 400mhz. I hadn't completly researched whether this memory would be compatable with the existing memory in my Dell 8300 before I purchased it. This memory works great and I am happy with my decision to purchase it.Ĭons: This memory has a latency of 2.5 CAS. Pros: After comparing prices with other memory and what Dell offered at twice the price I decided to try this memory.
