I have a AMD 2500+ Computer in which I have just added an additional
512mb of memory to total 1 gig.
I have a Gibabyte GA 7VT600 motherboard running at 167/333 FSB
The orginal 512 mb of memory was PC2700. The new memory is PC3200.
I realise that the PC3200 should run at the same speed as the PC2700
ie underclocked. But I have some questions
SiSoft Sandra 2005 shows one bank @ 333 & the other at 400.
Is that just the inbuilt chip in the memory or are each memory bank
actually running at different speeds.
I have changed the Bios timing for the memory to 333 from auto with
the same result.
The whole system takes a fraction longer to load intially, is that
just taking longer to sort out where the software loads in memory, as
the computer on whole is much more responsive when changing from one
program to another.
Also my 36 mb Excel file now takes less than the 2 minutes it used to
take to load. Changing between the 40 pages loaded in Firefox is a lot
quicker too. This why I got the additional memory but I want to make
sure that everything is as it should be
Thanks of any advice
