2x512 MB @ nForce2 - problems, problems and problems...
hi guys,
i recently tried to improve my gaming performance in newer games like BF2 by upgrading my system's memory...
i'm running a quite old rig - Abit NF7-S Rev. 2.0
at this point i had the problem of getting the "perfect" RAM for my system - some people in different communitys had the opinion that newer chips like TCCDs aren't suitable for this issue....
hmmm, okay - my first try were OCZ EL PC3200 with UTT BH-5 chips - after a few memtest runs it was clear - not even stable results at 200 MHz with 2-2-2-11 timings and 1T-setting (D26 Mantaray XT) - at 2T at least 210 MHz were running stable (superpi, memtest, prime95 blend and a few bf2-sessions), but i wasn't satisfied with my OCZ modules...
for this reason i started getting information again - next try were some oldschool Infineon PC2700 with famous 6-A, but the results were similar 
memtest was running for approx. 50 minutes (2-2-2-11-1T, 3V) until the first errors appeared (superpi even reported errors after 1-2 minutes) - i tried VDD between 1,5 and 1,7V, active cooling provided by a 92mm fan placed in front of the memory slots and finally slot 1+3 and 2+3 placement of the modules...
at this point i'm getting quite depressive - does anybody have tips for me except buying a A64 system? 
don't mind my poor english and thanks in advance,
DoNuT
