What should i set my virtual memory too?

piccy of what everest came up with....

 

In the Device Description section, you want to click on each DIMM in turn, and not the Memory Timings section in the lower section.

Running as DDR400 memory, that Kingstion stick has timings of 3 - 3 - 3 - 8 (same as my cheaper stick, as it happens).

Check the other sticks. That is probably going to be the slowest stick, anyway.

btw, CL is shorthand for CAS Latency, which is what it is probably called in your BIOS.

Well all sticks seem to be running at the same speed, 3-3-3-8 etc

 

Everest is reporting the speed that the DIMMs are rated at on that page. The Motherboard->Chipset page shows the speed you are actually running them at. Check that one ;-)

Heres another using Sandra (the 4th Hyundai stick which is not visible is identical to the 3rd btw).

 

Ahhh ok will do and thx for taking the time out to help me m8, really appreciated

Heehee. No worries. That's what I lurk for at times ;-)



Cambo

 

Back (had to eat dinner), wish coulda helped more but cheers that Cambo helped ya

 

You mean you don't _eat_ at your computer?!?!?!? ;-)



Cambo

 

Nooooo, lol, well not usually (noodles & ice cream mostly ).

 

You eat noodles and ice cream together? yuk! ;/

 

Hey Cam if you go back a page you will see i also inc a piccy of sandra. Where it says technology one of the kingston and both the hyundai sticks it has 8x(64Mx8) but if you check the top kingston its 16x(32Mx8), is this right?

 

Right ive gone into the Bios and changed the CL to 3.0, booted up played BF and im still getting this 'Driver not responding' crap! (screen goes black, warning box pops up click ok back to desktop to be presented with spectrum 48k graphics). Think what ill do is try a different Ati driver.....

 

That does sound like a driver issue. Having graphics issues myself with Civ4 atm

btw, don't worry about the 8x(64Mx8) and 16x(32Mx8). That's just the actual chips used on your DIMMs. The Kingston sticks use 16 chips, as opposed to the 8 chips on the Hyundai sticks.



Cambo

 

Yea my extensive brain power figured that one out actually hehe

Rolled back the drivers so im gonna give it a go again, cheers Cam

 

Balls it did it again with in 2mins of egtting onto the server! gonna try with just the Kingston in again....

 

either don't us swap, or set it to 4096.

minimum = 4096, maximum = 4096

that way the file is always the same size, and is the max supported size too.

and if you have the room, make a separate partition for it where it is the only file on there. that way it will never get fragmented.


if you can afford to bet 2 gigs ram (or more), just turn off your swap entirely. it's just unnecessary hard drive grinding.

unless you do a lot of photoshop, you won't need it.
