A7N8X-E Dlx, 3200+, Kingston Valueram, setup problem.....

[Paul E. LePage]

Hi, I finally got mine to run 200mhz FSB. Tried the same Kingston;
KVR400X64C3AK2/1G that you have. Kingston engineers said it should work ok--
Runs at 200, but is visibly slower than the old Kingston I had, even running
in dual channel. Decided to try Cosair (on ASUS QVL) CMX512-3200C from
MWAVE, their part number BA08584, so far its running GREAT at 200mhz, dual
channel, set 8,3,3,2.5. Athlon XP3200 A OK at 2200mhz. Will run memtest86
and benchmark next week-I'll post results. Good Luck! Paul

I am beginning to get the feeling that I am going to have to spring
for the Corsair or something equivalent also.

Bit the bullet and bought the Corsair 3200LL set. It has been running
rather nicely for the last six hours at 197/197. I had it at 200 for
about an hour and then got a hang. I got a strange message back from
MS crash analysis about the ATI driver being a problem and upgraded
that from the ati site. Tomorrow I might step it back up to 200 and
see if it will hold. I conclude that this board did not like the
Kingston memory and I have an "issue" with Mwave.com.

Tnx for the help.
