A7N8X-DX Rev 2 - 180 tops - I hope not

Corsair XMS mem is the shit, it was 260 bucks for 2x256meg but i can run my
barton 2500 at 221x11.5! (3400+?), 2.08 cpu volts on water ;-) Ram speed is
100% (442mhz) in dual channel mode. Timings are 6-3-2-2.0 If anyone knows
why i cn't get my voltage higher then 2.08 please read my post above!
Thanks.

Your RAM score will go higher if you change the 6 to 11. Test it with
Sandra to find out.

Yea I've heard that, I'll give it a shot

Hmm. That is a bit of money. It might be better spent on a fancy Video
card. Seriously, that's over $100 more than the Mushkin Black Level 2
3500. And it may be more the luck of the draw on MB and CPU than just
the memory. How did you do on other memory on the same equipment?

My other mem was pc2700 and it woun;dn't even run at 2.0 when it was 166.
I get a HUGE gain by going from 7-3-3-2.5 to 11-3-2-2.0. The ram is about
$230 Canadian right now. I was thinking about getting pc 3500 but you can't
get the ultra low latency (2.0 cas) around here.

OH! The 260 was Canadian. That's much better and probably worth
getting. Let me see how the memory I'm getting as a replacement does
and if it isn't an easy 200+ then I get the better stuff.

I didn't even know you could do CAS2 at over 210. Well, the amount I
don't know about memory settings is tremendous so I'll fiddle around a
bit and use Sandra or something and see what works out best. I did
read that nForce2 boards like that 11. Hoot said it on
overclockers.com and my respect for Hoot is about as high as it gets.

I'll post my sandra mem scores tomorrow, right now i've settled on 218x11.5
for everyday use. But its around 32?? and 31?? i think.

And what cooling and voltage are u running your cpu at?
