Could you explain me please!
Sorry for my english ;)

Where did 0408 come from. The only one on the ASUS web site is 0422. Do you have a link to 0408?

Noosp, BigStan was refering to 0509 and not 0409 .... he must have spell'd it wrong ;)
I did spell it wrong, buit I was referring to the 0408. He posted me a link and that was what I was looking for.
Thanx for the link.
Right ;)Quote:

Hmm, ok.... With bios ver 0509 I can run 280 Mhz fsb with 2 GB memory (4x 512mB PC5400UL) @ 3:5 cas 4-3-3-2 I find that pretty good. Also I don't have the cold boot issue I did with 0408Quote:

Yes I did, from bootable floppy thogh ;) No errors what so ever. P4 660 @ 18x multiplier (default). System as in sig. Turbo and the other memory optimization enabled (can't remember what it's called atm.and I'm @ work) as well.Quote:

Larsk, my 5400UL with 4-3-3-8 @ 1000 mhz with memtest86+ tests ok but with Memtest 3.2 for windows I get errors !!!Quote:

I use windows xp + sp1 update. And you folks ?
Good question. I'm not really sure, but in my experince if there are memory errors memtest86 is pretty good at finding them. My blocks won't do DDR2-1000 @ cas 4-3-3-8, "only" DDR2-980, but both memtest86 (I believe I'm using ver. 1.55) and memtest 3.2 for windows show no errors for several passes. I'm using WinXP Sp2Quote:

And in my case what should I believe memtest86+ or 3.2 for windows ?!
I get errors in memtest86, and I also have random stability issues. Just as one would expect with faulty memory.Quote:

Personally, I would probably believe both. However, errors in windows could be related to something other than the physical memory, and if you have more than 10+ error free passes with memtest86 I would personally look elsewhere for the problemQuote:

Why are all you people trying to get 100% perfect memory with no errors?
If you don't use ECC ram, then its a waste of time IMHO.
This Corsair 5400UL memory is not designed to be ECC capable, so why bother with perfection at high bandwidth?
you may as well get a XEON board with ECC and then Overclock that.
IluvIntel, my goal is to have a fast OC'ed system but also a stable one !Quote:

I am now running DDR2 @ 936mhz with 4-3-3-6 and its Sp2004 stable (12 hour test) running 2 instances of it both on priority 9. This is with 2.3 Vdimm. Northbridge @ 1.65v. = No errors for Ram only test. :toast:
The Corsair 5400UL's are bloody good value for money !! :fact:
I would test for longer, but I have to use the computer for other purposes ! ;)

What bandwidth is that with? did you test for errors and for how long?Quote:

@ V I P E R,
I'm having trouble with my screenshot utility - it don't wanna save where I tell it too ! damm it !
Using the freebie - Irfanview v3.97.
Push the Print Screen button on your keyboard then open Paint and paste in Paint the taken picture (you can use Ctrl + V) :).
ok, V I P E R I got it togeather now, but not with Everest.
Would you like Sandra? :)
This is with 4-3-3-7 timings @ 15 x 283mhz, 4:5, I have found it to be the most practical upper limits for my system when doing the things with it that I want.
In other words, distributed computing projects with net surfing and occasional gaming.
All this evey day, all day without lockups or crashes. ;)
IluvIntel - thank you my man :). Your scores are great, but I want that Everest score because I'm on my way getting 955 because my ASUS P4C800 E Deluxe i rather old, even that it is a rock solid PC - P4 Prescott 3Ghz @ 4100Mhz watercooled with Storm G4, Black Ice Extreme 2 and MCP-655.
