Memory Bandwidth

[Vigour]

Why is my memory bandwidth so low,

Systems specs.

1800@1.95ghz (8.5x230)
Pc3200 @ 230mhz.

My TwinMOS PC2700 did 205MHz CL2.5/3/3/6 and it used Mtech chips. Winbound are very good overclockers. Surprized your FSB even got to 230MHz mine tops out just before that :( MSI cheapo board :(

Vigour:

There is a option in BIOS called CPU Interface. It should be set to enabled!
And the other thing is that low multis will give you low mem bandwith... no matter how high your FSB is set.

And also check FSB/MEM divider in BIOS it should be 1/1 or 3/3...

Here my result although with PC4000 but at the same timings as you but also 225MHz FSB, my board won't do 230MHz :(

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/attachment.php?s=&postid=253024 If i was you i would reduce the TRAS to 7, this is the best setting 6 peforms slower then 7 but faster then 8. I tried it at 11 with dual channel but it still wasn't as good as 7.

The bandwidth isent low for that system..

Don;t think CPU interface is on the d10 bios, il check in a min.

This stuff can do 240 and maybe more.

What voltage you giving it? My boards quite limited :( A;so yours is Winbond right? that means they come at 400MHz CL2/2/2/7 right?

[Vigour]

yes winbond, its cl2.5 tho.

Was only £35 quid for 256mb when i ordered it about 4 months ago.

2.7v

It cost me £50 for 512MB PC2700 along time ago before they even got PC3200 in :( still 200MHz is quite good for MTECH memory... what ever it is :D Winbound is some of the best you can get. You will find corsair use it for ALL of their high peformance DDR memory.
