Sup guys, So i managed to stick with my Gigabytye UD3P motherboard. The issue here is that, my ram does not perform at its listed speed - Partriot Viper Series pc2-8500 1600 4 gb (dual channel) 5-5-5-15 In the bios setup, it is listed that i can perform at 1066, But, the option to select the speed doesn't go up to that speed UNLESS i increase the cpu multiplier - Im running a P4 3.2 ghz presscot core. Could the issue be that im running a single core proc? CPU-Z lists the ram as max bandwidth 6400 ( 400 mhz) Why cant i get the ram to run at 1066, with the correct timings? 5-5-5-15
Sorry, let me rephrase my question: Could someone please list the settings required to achieve pc-8500 @ 5-5-5-15 for the Gigabyte UD3P? I've been having difficulties trying to attain such specifications. CPU-Z keeps listing the ram at 6400(400 mhz)
Why do you want such fast memory with such an old and slow CPU? I wouldn't be surprised if there's some limitation with CPUs that old.
