Ok me and a buddy drove up to TigerDirect to pick him up some memory. and we ended up with this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...ails.asp?EdpNo=723385&Sku=M56-5903&CatId=1082 He has Ath 64 3200+ Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP nVidia 3 150 chipset. Thing is the only time the sys is stable is when the timeings are 2-3-2-8. He hasn't checked for the winbond chips but was told that the ram has them when he bought it. My question is this do you need to break in the ram for a few hours like by running __ before it'll preform at the speeds in the link?? I'll look into getting pics and/or checking for the winbond chips when i get a chance. He descripes stable as But it does boot up.
have you tried manually setting the ram in bios? the mobo might think that the ram cant do it w/o you telling it specifically.
yes the mobo detects it as 2-3-2-8 and he has set it to 2-2-2-6 2-2-2-5 2-2-2-7 and all of thoses but wight 2-3-2. all the combos boot up fine and dandy but the sys eather locks up or or crashes when 3dMark or any game is exe'ed.

i'll make sure he has a go with that although we ain't going above the 2.75 cause we want the warntee should all your tips not get the timings down.
Ok looks like he got it stable a 2-2-2-6 @ voltage +.1. I have no clue what the actual voltage is though as the bios don't say. Progie?? anyone.. Any way it didn't crash throught two runs of 3dmark03. i'll have him give prime95 a go.
if your bios doesn't tell you, nothing will. most boards don't have voltage sensors for vdimm. Prime will crash at anything slightly unstable
