anyone know how to do this? Ive been hunting all over the net for a walkthrough, but I didnt see any specific ram settings in my bios. CPU Z reads my channel as single and my command rate at 2T , even though I have 3 ram chips , 2 of which are in dual channel configuration, which means that it should be dual asymmetric. My computer is running much slower than it should, boot ups are noticiably slow, despite the fact that I moved the FSB from 200 to 233. I tried setting it back to default and reading was the same.

Any help/tips?

Oy

I would remove the non-dual channel'ed memory, as it seems like one of those modules is not 100% compatible with the rest.

However, to switch to 1T you have to access BIOS, usualy by hitting DEL right when you boot up (and keep hitting it till it shows the BIOS setup screen, though sometimes the key is F10, so spam both). And then if the BIOS supports letting you switch that option it should be under Advanced Chipset Settings or something similar, look in the BIOS config to find it. However, I highly recomand against doing so, I once tried setting my RAM to 1T after relazing timings and increasing voltage and stabilizing clock speeds, and it was highly unstable when gaming and crashed the computer. You won't notice much difference between 1T and 2T anyways. And you certainly don't want to set 1T if there are incompatible memory modules installed as it's a global option.


Hope that helped

OK, i know what is happening, i was flicking through my Motherboard manual the other day since i was bored, and dual channel will only work with either 2 or 4 memory modules, because if you had 3 the 3rd would need to be split between channels, if the extra speed matters then remove ther 3rd module if you prefer the extra memory, keep it in, and to change from t2 to t1 you need to access the bios

as for the slowness, you're probably better off changing the memory timings than changing the FSB, i can get mine down to 3-3-3-9 with a little extra volts, 2.1v from 1.8, and the best thing about it is its cheap kingston valueram, it works well but is easy to replace, i can also get it to run at 4-4-4-12 at 800mhz, with a little extra volts (on each of these dropping it by 2 levels from stock)

Yea, but definently don't switch it to 1T with that third module in there
