Comment: Hey there.
Today I installed Everest Ultimate and noticed for some reason my memory runs on 201MHz (Real Clock: 101MHz) only instead of 400MHz.
I entered the BIOS, and noticed the CPU/DDR Ratio stand on 2/1. (I got AMD64 3200+ FSB on 200 (Multi x10, HT x5).
Anyway, I tried increasing the ratio to 2/2 (As it should be I believe) and it just stuck after I saved and restart, then after another restart it loaded BIOS defaults.
Anyway, I got two MUSHKINs (Different Moduls - one runs at 2-2-2-6 and the other on 2.5-3-3-8) usually they both run at 2.5-3-3-7 which the BIOS sets automatically but now I noticed they were at 2-2-2-5, which is not good... So I lowered it to 2.5-3-3-7 manually and was able to bump the ratio to 2/1.66 but even at 2/1.84 (Or something like that) it failed... What do I do?!
Please help, I'm helpless!
I added few pictures, hope this will work (Pics were taken with my CPU/DDR ratio at 2/1 not 2/1.66). http://www.dgwifi.com/Images/X/x1.png

Reply: (edit)Last picture shows my Memory Read Time comparing to other computers (including another AMD64 3200+).
As you can see, something is wrong in here :) Thanks in advance,

Reply: (edit)Yup, that confirms that your BIOS is setup incorrectly. Try the following settings: MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.) HT Frequency ratio = 5x
CPU Frequency = 200MHz
K8 CPU Clock Ratio = 10x
DDR clock/Timing Mode = manual
CPU/DDR clock Ratio = 2/2
DDR Timing = manual
CPU Spread Spectrum = disabled
PCIE Clock = 100MHz Top Performance = disabled You apparently know how to set your RAM timings so I won't run thru them all....

Reply: (edit)Bah, still crashes...
What do I do?
Can you help me out, telling me exactly what timings to write? Thanks in advance,

Reply: (edit)I doubt your RAM timings are what's holding you back. It is important that 'Top Performance' is disabled & it wouldn't hurt to throw another 0.10v into the DDR to see if that helps. What BIOS version are you running? There have been quite a few revisions...F9 is the latest. None of the descriptions mention any RAM related fixes, but you never know? Have you tried the memory sticks individually to see if they'll run at the proper speed? Have your tried different slots?
