KT3 ARU and 1 Gig of ram

Since ram is so cheap right now I decided to buy an additional 512, the BIOS sees and post 1024 of ram, but windows will not start with the ram set to 333, i can get windows to start when the ram is set to 266. Anyone know if there is certain configuration i need to have 1 gig run at 333. and yes both sticks are 2700. One is Generic Samsung the other is Generic Infinion. Both are rated for 2700. My thinking is that one of the sticks cannot run at CAS 2, but both can run at CAS 2.5. Please help.

It is not recommended running the memory frequency at 166 since your cpu is 266 (133x2) Running 166 will cause stability issues because your cpu isn't running at that speed. Which is also the bottleneck. Trying to run PC2100 at 166mhz can make matters worse. Your benchmarks will show no real life improvement. Keep at defaults for maximum stability.

  • Problems with combo KT3 ARU and GeForce 4?

    Have been using GeForce 2MX with driver 30.82 w/out problems. When istalling ASUS  ;(  V8440, a GeForce 4 with Ti 4400 my screen goes bananas. Gets strange patterns even at BIOS startup. Hangs in WinXP. Starts in Safe-mode but still with strange patterns.
    Heard rumors  ?(  that the problem might lie in the combo VIA and nVidia?
    Have given up on the GeForce 4 unless someone can give me a hint of what might be wrong.

    What drivers are you using for the GeForce 4? Quote
    Using nVidia 30.82, and yes, the mascine runs in safe mode (occationally), but with patterns. Usually grouped like this:

    A guy at a local PC-store said something about it when I explained my problem. He had no solution and might be wrong.

  • MEGA PC 651 and 1 gig of RAM

    Hi Guys, I have a MEGA 651, cele 2.6 gig and i HAD 1 gig of ram in there... but after doing my usual tasks in XP, it would just reboot! as anyone had this problem? i take out 1 stick of 512 and it runs fine.  I think this may be an over heating problem because i noticed that extra stick of 512 generates quite a bit of heat.  Could it be a problem with the mobo handling 512 or ram as well?  If anyone has any info this would be great
    Thanks

    Thanks alot for your response..
    Hmm i know its not the ram, its been tested in another system and its fine.. So it might be the power supply huh? how can this be resolved? i heard the mega PC 651 was released in 2 models.. 1 with a higher voltage power supply, i guess mine is the lower of the 2 released, if so..do i have to replace the power supply?

  • HT3161 I have a 27" mac running with a 3.4 ghz core i7 and 16 gigs of ram and using the latest logic. I have a composition consisting of 7 audio tracks and 4 software instruments and 4 plugins on 4 tracks so why is my CPU spiking ?

    I'm running a 27" imac with a 3.4ghz core i7 processor and 16 gb of ram.... In logic I have a project with 7 audio tracks with various plugins running and 4 software instruments which incidentally are not playing all the way through the track...my CPU spikes even if the project is paused...why is this happening on such a high end machine.....wasting my money again seems to spring to mind !!

    XP 64 is unsupported and causes countless problems with Photoshop it also lacks drivers. CS3 is 32-bit only.
    I would use CS4 and either Vista64 or Win7 64-bit OS.

  • 2.8 i7 chip with 8 gigs of ram, or a 2.6 i5 chip with 16 gigs of ram?

    I'm considering buying a refurbished macbook pro.  Of the two I'm looking at, one has a 2.8 i7 chip and 8 gigs of ram; the other has a 2.6 i5 chip with 16 gigs of ram.  Which is preferable?  I'm a writer; I do some photo and home video editing, and some gaming (wow)... and I would consider loading up bootcamp or parallels.  both machines will sport a 512gb SSD.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't see running a ton of software simultaneously, though I've been known to have a metric sh*t-ton of tabs open at any given time (lots of research).   For writing, I'll frequently have a word-processing program, a screen-writing program and a PDF open, and possibly youtube.   I play mmo's...   am I likely to regret it if I run boot camp and try to play any serious games (i.e., skyrim / last of us / cod)?

  • How big a difference will 2 gigs of RAM make compared to 1?

    I'm definitely upgrading my MacBook to at least a gig of RAM when I get it, but I am thinking about upgrading to 2. Unfortunately, even after-market RAM is rather expensive in 1GB modules.
    My question is: Will I see any major differences in performance between the 1 and 2 gigs of RAM while playing games with similar requirements to Apple's "Intermediate Gaming" games such as UT2004?
    What about a scenario of running iTunes, several web pages in your favorite web browser, some sort of filesharing app, one or two IM clients (Adium and Skype/Gizmo), and the odd number of little background apps? How about on Leopard, or even on <insert name of cat to be 10.6>?
    Sorry about the pummeling of questions :P

    Elispiro,
    Normally, I recommend 1.5 GBs for any Mac that will be "put through its paces," as gaming does. Having this amount of RAM allows for plenty of "Inactive" physical memory, which is the figure that provides a big speed boost.
    You see, having enough RAM to avoid excessive "swaps" while you are using your applications provides speed boost #1. This is the most important reason to upgrade RAM, and it happens at around 1 GB. Speed boost #2 will be delivered by having a bit more than this 1 GB threshhold, through the use and maintainance of a large amount of "Inactive" memory. This memory contains code and data for applications that have quit, but might be launched again in the near future, thus speeding the availability of these applications to a great degree. 1.5 GBs of RAM provides this boost in most circumstances.
    As I say, this is what I normally recommend. For owners of the new Macbooks (and Macbook Pros), however, there is another consideration. If you install memory in "matching pairs" of RAM modules, the RAM bus on the new machines will operate in "Dual-Channel" mode. This mode allows the DIMMs to be accessed simultaneously, on the same clock cycle, thereby increasing the total memory throughput.
    For the Macbook Pros, this is a minor speed boost. On the Macbooks, though, it is reported that this small boost really helps with the "integrated" graphics. Since the integrated graphics processor must share main memory, this Dual-Channel mode becomes very important. Especially true of you want to play any games
    So for you, I recommend going directly to 2 GBs. This is the only configuration that will give you every posssible speed boost that additional RAM will provide. It need not be as expensive as you might be thinking. a 2 GB "kit" for your Macbook is less than $200 US on this website. I'm don't know the ramifications of purchasing/shipping from Canada, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

  • [VIA] MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card

    Does any body out there know if a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card will work well together?

      like the grayone say, is true. for more ensure, try and search the graphic cards support list for your board at MSI (Sorry cause i don,t no is  where the site located)
      in my opinion, most is compability for your card, when is a AGP slot.
      Except the new one like the AGP slot, call AGR( Accelaration Graphic Riser slot) that really need to find a compatibility graphic cards.....

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and S2K Bus Disconnect

    Hello
    I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and a AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (266 FSB version). I wonder if I have support for termal diode in both CPU and mainboard.
    Is S2K Bus Disconnect and CPU HALT Command detection the same thing?

    Quote
    KT3 ultra's I believe were the first boards capable of reading thermal diode inside of AMD XP (Palamino/T-bred/barton, etc) and higher cores.
    Not the first, but they were up there as being among the first.  A few KT266 boards implemented the circuitry to read thermal diode.  Second or third revision boards, or new models, based on KT266A and even KM266 began implementing the thermal diode circuitry.
    KT3 Ultra has thermal diode read circuit:

  • System overloads and quad core Pro with only 1 gig of RAM - Snow Leopard

    That RAM total would suggest that I go out and buy some (expensive) RAM.
    But I see from
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10238432&#10238432
    that people are getting memory spikes with LP8 and a lot more than 1 gig. One poster suggests that LP8 has a bug that should've been fixed but wasn't.
    8 gigs are so expensive ($2k) that I could get an entire iMac for less - and rumor has it that there may be quad-core models on the way soon.
    Which of the following would you do"
    1. Amp up to 4GB on this box for $1200 or so?
    2. Get just 1GB more to make it 2GB - cheaper?
    3. Upgrade to LP9 just to get a bug fix?
    A new pro ($3200+, 8 core, 6 gigs is not an option. I'm even gagging at the RAM prices.
    I use LP primarily for electronic music, not rock mixes, so I use ES2, Sculpture, ESX. EFM and potentially a lot of track automation.

    Definitely not number 3--LP9 is working pretty well for me, but a lot of users find it to be rather buggy. I'm not saying don't get 9, I'm just saying don't do it with the idea in mind that it will fix all your problems. I buy my RAM from Other World Computing. I'm not sure exactly which model Mac Pro you're running, but you can see here that the most you'll pay for 8GB is about $275. But jumping up to 4GB would significantly improve your situation, so I would recommend starting there--you can always add more later if you need to.

  • I upgraded to 3 gig of ram and now my machine doesn't work

    Hi all
    I have just switched out my 2 x 512 mb chips and up'ed my ram to 3 gig. The only problm is that with 3 gig in the machine it wont boot up.
    I have tries both the 1 gig and the 2 gig chips by themselves and have had no problems. but with both of them in...no joy.
    I have tried switching the slots, and still no joy.
    the machine runs with the chips in either slot as long as there is only one chip.
    Could someone please help me

    Hey... Sorry, I was wrong...
    It's the 2.33GHZ Core 2 Duo that came out a couple of months after I bought might that can accommodate up to 3 Gigs...
    Sorry about the error,
    david
    P.S. I wish that there weren't so many models beign announced and put out so oftenly so I wouldn't feel so bad about making a purchase only to see a better model w/ twice the memory and a bigger HD to appear a month or 2 later...

    All,
    I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
    Thanks,
