Memory

[Victor]

I have a GA-8KNXP mother board running a P4 3.2 processor and 2X512 3200LLPT Corsair memory. When I run Sandra it says my memory is to slow for my Bus starving my CPU. What do you think should I go for the new 4000 Memory????

If you're upgrade to 4000 memory, try Kingston Hyper X. I've had no problems with mine.

P4 3.2 is supposed to run RAM at 200MHz (DDR400, PC3200 speed). Your BIOS might have kicked it down, I'd check there.

I wouldn't spend the money on PC4000 memory. It's only useful if you are overclocking, and with a 3.2 GHz processor you don't have that much headroom. The fix is most likely in your BIOS memory settings.

Thanks for the info . I checked Corsairs Ramguy's board and they say this board has a bios problem with memory but they also say F6 was as high of Bios it goes up to but I am up to F11 BIOS and still no help. I can go up to 3.52 mhz before it starts any problems. I guess I will have to settle for that. Thanks guys !!! The band with is the problem it only shows 4575 mb/sec and should be around 6.4

Rember that 6.4 gig/sec is the theorical, in practice youll never hit that.70% of the theorical seams a bit low, with my PC4000 I get 5.7 gig/sec wich is roughly 75% of the theorical value...
