Did you try setting the timings manually?

Dude, it's generic, no wonder you're having problems!

Always buy a brand name for memory

So why aren't I having problems with any of my generic ram. I use it in
every system I build for myself. Yep the sytem below has it. My A64 system
has it, My XP system has it. And about 200 other systems I've built have
it. If you want to waste your money, fine. But don't try to scare others
into it with BS. As long as you buy smart, generic will work as good and
better sometimes than name brand.

Indeed.

I'm not having any problems, thanks. The OP seems to be though.

Thats what I do, but generic should work too.

The fact is a lot of the funky problems that people have with their PCs are
related to generic poor quality RAM. Also stuff like Kingston, Crucial,
Corsair etc comes with a lifetime warranty which is very handy to have.

Huh?
My ram. "All Components Memory" for the most part, generic.
Going by CPU-Z, cause I don't feel like resetting to find out where I have
things set.
memory is running @ 170 MHz
CAS L = 2.5
RAS to CAS D @ 3
the RAS P is the same, 3
and cycle time is @ 5
The memory it's self don't have a name on it.
CPU-Z brings it up as SpecTek.

Hm, if it's pc2100 running this fast, that's what's holding my overclock
back.
Hm..
While writing this, I was playing around with the clock rates of my AMD.
2.5
2
2
5
Ran 3DMark03 While writing this to see if will make it through it.
Next, is to run Sandra memory test over & over about 20 or 30 times.
I started writing this @ about 2:45 Pm EST
I didn't want to finish it till I knew I had the system stable.
Ran 40 times on these timings.
Speed on Sandra.
2783 MBs / 2655 MBs
I had re-set timings to
2.5
2
2
4
But it ran faster then my FX5200, and slowed things down.
Keep saying bad things about Generic if you wish.

Denny.

The problems are usually with the person that bought it. Most of the
people don't know anything even basic about ram except maybe what ram
stands for.
I can't count how many times I've seen people here buying PC3200 ram
becase that what their MB ad/manual says the board supports. Granted,
some cheap generic (and even name brand) PC3200 ram won't cut the
mustard. So why didn't they buy PC3700 ram and avoid all these problems?
also can't count how many times I've said buy faster ram and they come
back with "my MB only supports PC3200". And you wonder why these people
have problems.

Lifetime warranty and computers??? Anything over a year pretty well
sees the end of it's usefulness so why bother paying extra for
something that ain't going to be of use.
