I personally have never had good luck overclocking when using two x 512 and 2 x one gig sticks (four slots filled ????)

 

[madmatt10583]

i have the first 3 slots filled. when i remove the stick from slot 2, the pc won't get past the boot up screen. In slot 1 and 3 i have crucial ballistix pc 8500 and in slot 2 i have a ocz pc 8500. They're all the same speed and everything. I did remove the ocz one earlier and it all worked fine but my pc was still up to the same tricks eg having good fps untill i reboot then not again unless i cut the power. This is 1 annoying problem.

his fsb is at 18xx he needs to up the multi and bring down the fsb

something is goofy >>>>> its impossible to get dual channel with three sticks of memory ????????????????

 

[madmatt10583]

For some reason my pc will now let me boot with the 2 sticks. on post it says: dual channel interleaved. I take it this is what i want? Or would i be better off with the 3? would i benefit from getting an identical 2 gb kit of what i already have so i have then 4 gb?

I think whats happening is the system only boots up in dual channel because the fsb is set to high and it can't keep up?

32 bit xp or 32 bit vista dont like 4 gigs of memmory ........64 bit xp & 64 bit vista loves big memory configs


2 gigs is plenty even for the most intense gamers

 

[madmatt10583]

Right. I have nothing on auto in my bios and i have my 2 gigs in dual channel.
What a hell of a difference this has made. I'm getting 60 fps on crysis on high. I'm going to try very high.
I just hope i don't get the same problem after i reboot this time lol.
Thankyou all for your help. I'll post if i run in to further problems.
My ocz stick of ram may as well go on ebay now lol.
