Memory Errors - Possible Cause

[DCB_AU]

I read that memory errors are more likely to occur when ram set to Async instead of Sync.

Informed that the reason the "New" menu goes missing, occasionaly when I instal drivers is usually a memory error.

PC setup as follows.
2.4D 478 Cel, Asus P4S800-MX, 256DDR 3200 Ram.

I have tried this setting first- 167/33 and it runs OK, reported a CPU of 3019.

Ram set to 200MHz and Sync changed to Async. Bandwith between CPU and northbridge 167*4*64 (64 bit interface IIRC) = +/- 5 GB/s. Single channel, so memory bandwith would be: 2,7 GB/s @ 167 MHz or 3,2 GB/s @ 200 MHz.

ie. If changed back to Sync, ram will not run at full speed.

Are you drunk? I can barely read what you've written.

If you change it to synch, the RAM runs the same speed as the CPU. So at synch, if you set the CPU to 200 bus, you'll set the RAM to 200 bus.

He He, now that I've read it again.

No not drunk, too much said in one post

Your post is as I thought by my calculations, it'll run faster in Async at the bus setting I have at the moment.

Told otherwise the other day by another person who should know better.
