Is it true that 1333mhz triple channel is not supported by the Core i7 920 and only by the 975 Extreme Edition?

I heard about over clocking memory to get it to work - isn't it dangerous to do that?

thanks. ]]> Memory bindo245 http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80921-core-i7-920-triple-channel-1333mhz.html http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80917-whic-1-gb-random-access-memory-i-should-purchase.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:27:17 GMT hey.... i have processor Type : Intel Core 2 Duo Internal Specification : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 ... hey.... i have processor Type : Intel Core 2 Duo Internal Specification : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz and a RAM installed 1024 MB - DIMM Type : DDR2-SDRAM PC2-5300 (333 MHz) - [DDR2-666] now I want to add 1GB Ram more, now tell me whether I can install Kingston DDR2 FB DIMM 1.0 GB PC 533 or Kingston DDR2 FB DIMM 1GB PC667 which is best for me regarding to compatibility? regards Jawwad! ]]> Memory Kitharass http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80917-whic-1-gb-random-access-memory-i-should-purchase.html http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80725-nothing-monitor-after-installing-random-access-memory.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:56:26 GMT I only have two 1gig sticks of RAM in my computer so I bought two sticks of 2gig off of ebay.

However when I put them in my computer it turns on fine, blinks but doesn't beep, and the monitor remains in standby. I tried numerous combinations of my old and new sticks but as long as a new stick is in there I get the same outcome. Everything goes back to normal if I have only my old sticks in there.

The new sticks of RAM say 2GB 800MHz 256x4. I heard my problem could have something to do with overclocking, I did not build my computer so I have no idea how to check my current RAM to see if it is overclocked or what I should do about it anyways.

Any help would be great!

Everything was working perfectly fine for about 3 weeks, and then all of a sudden my computer started going ridiculously slow. Programs were crashing, etc.

About a week after the slow-down, my computer started up and gave me an error message (something to do with removable memory or something).

My computer would after this point only start up maybe 1/4 of the time successfully, and even if it did it would go extremely slow.

I then tested each ram stick individually to see if it would work. I noticed that my computer works fine when I have the 2 new ram sticks plugged in, but when I plug in the older ones it stops functioning properly (even if I just plug in one more).

I don't understand why 2 ram sticks would suddenly break. Is there an underlying issue that I may be ignoring? Such as voltage or something?

Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated...

Everything is perfectly fine right now because I have the 2 new sticks plugged in alone. ]]> Memory rrigor22 http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80697-new-random-access-memory-issues.html http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80667-upgrading-my-random-access-memory-need-help.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:36:53 GMT Hi All really hope someone can help me as I am thinking of upgrading my RAM.

I hope that is enough for recommendations.

a) What is the maximum new memory RAM that I can install in the second empty slot?
b) or would it be better idea to change both the ram memory to a larger size if yes whats the best you would recommend?

My pc only recognises it as a 512 but CPU-Z can see that it is infact totalling 1.5GB of memory. The BIOS only recognises 1GB, i have tried switching slots and only using the 1GB stick but again, it is only recognised as 512.

Both running at 2.5v, DRAM freq 133MHz, they are unbuffered, non paired.

My motherboard has EP-P4MKI written on it, but the crucial system scan says its a p4m266a, VIA chipset. This confuses me.

I told her that she should try and get the same RAM type and size as the one she already has, and put it in the spare slot. So now she is looking at buying and installing

1Gb DDR2 800MHz DIMM NON ECC

Can I just confirm that this would be the best way to go? I've installed RAM on my machine before now, and I was told that sticking to the same type and size is the way to go. So I'm assuming that there wouldn't be any problems doing this? No BIOS changes required or anything? Also, regarding makes and models, I've had a quick look for good reviews and found:

Kingston Technology 1GB 800 MHz DDR2 Non ECC CL5 DIMM

Is this make recommended?

Thanks

This crash corrupts... Hi, i have this weird memory problem where if both of my compatible DDR3 2gb RAMs are used it would cause my computer to crash. This crash corrupts important OS files preventing me next time when i reboot from entering windows or repairing it. The only solution when this does occur was to format the partition containing my OS. This is a recent problem, i have been using these two memory cards for a year now, they are the same modules hence compatible with each other.

I did the following when this problem occurred:

1. Mem test on each RAM individually
2. Mem test using different RAM slots
3. Mem test both RAMs together.

The only errors i got on mem test is when both memory cards were present. So i removed one of my RAM cards and all is working fine.

My question here is, is this a problem from the motherboard? One of the RAM cards? If anyone has experienced this before and knows what is causing this i would be really grateful if you would tell me, thanks. ]]> Memory gammy http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/80232-multiple-random-access-memory-cards-crash.html http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/79742-memory-beyond-specs.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:02:54 GMT Hi fellow PC users, Question: Will it hurt a PC if we install memory beyond the specified maximum?

I did restart my computer but nothing happened


I also read this
"Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later, by default, on processors with the no-execute (NX) or execute-disable (XD) feature, runs in PAE mode in order to allow NX.[11] The NX (or XD) bit resides in bit 63 of the page table entry and, without PAE, page table entries only have 32 bits; therefore PAE mode is required if the NX feature is to be exploited. However, desktop versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows Vista) limit physical address space to 4 GiB for driver compatibility reasons."

My processor had XD bit feature enabled so am I already running the "PAE" So if I am already running that how come I cant use 8gb, is it just still locked against it, my computer, or something else ]]> Memory QrazyQuadQore http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/79507-get-more-memory-out-windows-stickey.html http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/79475-another-_irql_not_less_or_equal-question.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:10:31 GMT Hi, I have a toshiba satellite L350d, it use to have a 2gb memory 2x1GB (PC2 5300s) Now I bought 2x2GB (PC2 5300s) to get a 4GB and installed both...

I have a fairly old machine with XP home on it. It's used mainly for surfing the net, using MS programs and playing basic games.

There is currently 512mb of DDR PC3200 on it and I want to upgrade.

Considering my needs should I go for another 512mb to run as dual channel (DC) for the perfomance incease DC is supposed to give, or pay the extra money and get 1gb more and run as 1.512gb single channel.

Also, generally will more RAM always exceed the benefits of DC, will 1.25gb single channel outperform 2 X 512mb dual channel or would perfomance be about the same or less. ]]> Memory pavster http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/79360-dual-single-channel.html http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/79288-new-memory-causing-desktop-restart-nonstop.html Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:39:18 GMT Hi, I have a desktop computer running XP Pro.

I have a desktop computer running XP Pro. I had 1 stick of 512MB Ram (not sure what brand, speed, etc) installed. I just bought 2:
CORSAIR 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory Model VS1GB333

I installed the 2 new 1 GB sticks alongside the original 512MB stick since I have a total of 3 slots. The memory shows up fine in My computer and using a program called Aida. However a few min after starting up for the first time after install I got a blue screen saying something about an error and had to manually restart. 2nd time I did not get the blue screen but a few min after loading windows the computer restarted by itself. I left it restart and load windows and then a few min later restarted again and I believe it will continue to do. I just powered it off.

Is the problem mixing the 2 new sticks with a different older memory stick? Or do I need to move the newer sticks into the Primary slot (which I am guessing is the one the old stick is in) and move the old one to a different slot?

I really have no idea on how to troubleshoot memory issues so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. ]]> Memory Yaswanth http://www.pchelpforum.com/memory/79288-new-memory-causing-desktop-restart-nonstop.html
