Memory speed issue

Just purchased a 648 mx L Mother board P 2.4 533 CPU using 1 stick 512 400 ddr ram But if i set mem speed in BIOS to 400 XP & ME keep crashing the only way the keep the system stable is the set mem speed in BIOS to 133 which seems a bit of a waist of buying 400 ddr, can anyonr advise me on this.

Is the memory on the MSI compatability list?
Did you try upping the memory voltage a bit ? (DDR400 needs 2.6 and not 2.5 like the slower ones).

Iteration Speed issue when Indexing 3D array wried to a while-loop

Brief Description of my Program:
I am working on the real-time signal generation by using LabView and DAQmx (PCI-6110 card). My vi reads the big data file (typically 8MB txt file containing about 400,000 samples (complex double precision). Then, the signal is pre-processed and I end up with a huge 3D array to feed while-loop (typically 3D array dimension is N x 7 x M where N & M >> 7). Inside the loop, that 3D array is indexed and processed before the results are written to the DAQmx outputs. I have a speed issue when indexing the large 3D array (i.e, 3D array having a large sub-array size). My while-loop could not run fast enough to top-up the DAQmx AO buffer (at the output rate of 96kHz). It could run faster only if I use smaller 3D array (i.e, smaller-sized sub-arrays). I do not quite understand why the size of 3D sub-array affects the rate of looping although I am indexing same sub-array size at each iteration. I really appreciate your comments, advices and helps.
I include my 3D array format as a picture below.
Question on LabView:
How does indexing an 3D array which wires to the while-loop affect the speed of the loop iteration? I found that large dimension of sub-arrays in the 3D array slows down the iteration speed by comparing to indexing the same size of sub-array from smaller-sized sub-arrays of the 3D array to perform signal processing inside the while-loop. Why? Is there any other way of designing LabView Program to improve speed of iteration?
attachment:

Thank you all for your prompt replies and your interests. I am sorry about my attachment. But, I have now attached a jpg format image file as you suggested.
I had read the few papers on large data handling such as "LabVIEW Performance and Memory Management". Thus, I had already tried to avoid making unnecessary copies of data and growing arrays in my while-loop. I am not an expert on LabView, so I am not sure if the issues I have are just LabView fundamental limitations or there are any other ways to improve the iteration speed without reducing the input file size and DAQ output rate.
As you request, I also attach my top-level vi showing essential sections such as while-loop and its indexing. The attached file is as an image jpg format because the actual vi including Sub-VIs are as big as 3MB in total. I hope my attachment would be useful for anyone who would like to reply my question. If anyone would like to see my whole vi & llb files, I would be interesting to send it to you by an e-mail privately and thus please provide your e-mail address.
The dimension of my 3D array is N x 7 x M (Page x Row x Column), where N represents number of pages in 3D array, and M represents the size of 1D array. The file I am currently using forms 3D array of N = 28, & M = 10,731. Refering to the top-level vi picture I attached, my while-loop indexes each page per iteration and wrap-around. The sub-VI called "channel" inside the while-loop will further index its input (2D array) into seven of 1D arrays for other signal processsing. The output from that "channel" sub-VI is the superposition of those seven arrays. I hope my explaination is clear.

Another Yosemite speed issue

This is yet another Yosemite speed issue. I've done some reading around and read the FileVault can cause an issues, I took a look and I've always have FileVault disabled. I installed EtreCheck and the results came up with a lot of RED and "FAILED". Unfortunately, I have no clue how to being to read this and was hoping someone could shed some light onto this for me.
Here are my results: (Just trying to right-click and paste this took almost a minute)

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Help with mem speed issue in KT6V LSR BIOS

Hi all
In the BIOS of the MSI KT6V LSR board, does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the memory speed setting the puts memory to either Fast, Turbo or Ultra? I am uisng 1 DIMM of TwinMos 512mb, PC2700 DDR Ram and I can't run it at its correct timing of 333Mhz, because I think the above speed setting overclocks the memory and is causing instability in my installation of Win XP.
Cheers
SteveC

Thanks Fredrik & Sliksta.
Firstly Fred the cpu fsb is set to its correct timing of 166 (333 FSB Barton installed) and everyhting else in that screen is set to auto. It seems to be showing the correct CPU speed on boot up, so I can't see the problem there.
The thing is I have flashed the BIOS to the latest version and that memory setting for Fast, Turbo and Ultra is still there and can't be disabled. According to MSI it would be disabled in BIOS update V1.3, because it overclocks the memory and causes problems on some memory. When I run the memory timing at 333 I just seem get instability in Windows and thought it must be down to that timing issue. I have turned down the memory to 266 and things seem to be ok so far. Maybe I'll just stick to that. Strange one really. Could be the memory is a bit duff or I havent flashed BIOS properly. Shoud I reflash it do you think?

Mixing Memory Speeds

Apologies, wrong thread, please ignore.
Message was edited by: Rhys Bethell

Hi Rhys,
i think what you are talking about is mixing memory size, not speed. You can not mix memory speeds, especially in Macs.
You can mix memory size in most Macs. Very few Macs use memory interleaving that requires exactly the same size memory modules to work best. The iMacs allow mixing size with no impact on performance.
Go ahead, Crucial is very good with Macs and can be trusted.
Also very good is Other World Computing (OWC).

A505 S6033 / Memory Speed Mixing

Good Day,
I have a Satellite A505-S6033 i7 720QM @ 1.6GHz Part Number: PSAT9U-006002 OS/Win7 Ultimate HDD/500GB Memory/6GB [Originally 4GB (DDR3-1066/PC3-8500) only].
I removed one 2GB(DDR3-1066/PC3-8500) memory in the 2nd slot and upgraded the memory with a 4GB(DDR3-1333/PC3-10600) and it is working normally. But I noticed the fan is now running intermittently or continuously even if I am not playing games or using applications with high memory usage.
Is mixing a higher memory speed going to cause the fan to run intermittently or continuously to prevent overheating, freezing or auto shut down problems?
Thanks in advance for any advice to my query.

Been doing some more testing and playing around with the A505 and confirmed that my netbook with an Intel® Atom™ Processor N4501 (1.66GHz, 677MHz FSB, 512KB L2 Cache) responds faster in many situations such as start button load time, explorer populating the folder list and things of the like.
So i'm confused about the 1.6GHz A505 vs. 1.66GHz netbook. Are they in fact equal for typical tasks? I guess I was expecting something outrageous with the A505 and I too was mistaken by the 2.8GHz in the ad.
I have til thurs before my 14 day return is up. Wondering if a faster i3 processor like 2.12GHz would be quicker or an i5 without the turbo boost. I dont game.

Memory speed of fx 5200 cards

I can't find out detailed spec of MSI's fx 5200 cards:
- does any of these have 64-bit memory interface (as some 5200 cards do)?
- what is speed of cpu and memory
For instance, what's difference between FX5200-TD64 and FX5200-T64? First one has dvi out, cooler fan and larger board, but that's not what interests me - I would like to know differences in cpu and memory speeds.
Some benchmark numbers would be nice too, at least 3D Mark 2001.

I'm looking for budget card and I know what I can expect from that. You're right, memory speeds are not crucial here.
However, some fx 5200 have 64-bit memory interface (I know for some Gainward cards) which makes HUGE difference, even for low budget cards. Difference is something like 3500 vs 7000 points in 3D Mark 2001.
I would be satisfied with normal 5200 performance (I'm upgrading from MX400), but not with cripled one (64-bit), and I don't know whether FX5200-TD64 and FX5200-T64 have 64 or 128 bit memory bus.

Dejan

Memory speed - Equium A200 PSAF5E

Hi all,
I own a Toshiba Equium A200 - 1V0
Model no. PSAF5E - 001003sp
Bios version updated to v. 2.50
Everest Ultimate 4.5.1330 says that I have 2GB of RAM, in two sticks of Samsumg DDR2-667. Also it says too that my FSB is 133Mhz with correct CPU speed and multipier.
The problem comes with memory speed. It shows DDR2-667 capable sticks and chipset, but DRAM:FSB ratio is set to 8:4 resulting in DDR2-533, in any energy profile. The system operates in dual-channel 128bit configuration, so I'm losing 2144 MB/sec of transfer speed.
The chipset is identified as an Intel Crestline GML GL960, Everest and Toshiba website show it as DDR2-667 capable, Intel website claims about DDR2-533.
Link:[http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&com.broadvis ion.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=138201]
Link:[http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/gl960/gl960-overview.htm]
I haven't found any motherboard info or manual, so here are my questions:
- Is this speed normal or may I expect the DDR2-667 mode with this system?
- Is the dual-channel mode decreasing memory speed?
- If I re-install memory modules one by one and changing the position, Could it reset the speed values of the system?
- Can I access to any hidden BIOS settings to tweak the memory? (I have a Medion system that has a hidden and password protected BIOS mode accessible through F11 instead of F2 where I can find lots of options not shown in normal F2 BIOS)
- Any more ideas?
Many thanks in advance. Any help would be much apreciated.

Hi HiperGrover,
As PauPau wrote, the limited FSB is 533 MHz and that means the memory modules will run at this speed. Furthermore DDR2-667 modules can be used properly but they run only with lower speed.
So don be worry about this, everything is ok with your notebook.
Last but not least in BIOS there are no options about tweaking the modules and such options will not bring a strong performance boost but they could make your computer unstable.

Memory speed 5900 XT

Why I can't overclock the memory clock of my GFX 5900XT at more than 740Mhz...
When the card memory is set at more than 740Mhz some triangles appear in the screen while 3Dmark 03 or some games are running.
What i need.... a better power supply or something else? or this is the higher memory speed of this card.

Well it's likely not the power supply. It's likely to be heat or more likely to be a limitation of the actual RAM or GPU.
It's just like overclocking a CPU, no two are alike, some overclock better than others depending on the yield during production.
Check to make sure you have good case airflow, also check the heatsink (if you are comfortable with delicate equipment) and make sure there is enough thermal paste on the GPU consider getting RAM sinks.
You could try pointing a house fan directly at the card with the side cover of the case removed and see if that improves anything. If you notice, you get a little farther, then you know it's heat related.
I would try that to determing if it's heat before you spend money on a power supply. However, it's always a good investment to have a better power supply as it's what powers your rig and can also kill it if it's not of good quality or pushed too far.

Memory Speed loss with CPU upgrade 2.6 - 3.0

I have a n 875P Neo board with 2 banks 512m DDR400
I have just upgraded my cpu from 2.6G (800 FSB) to 3.0G (800FSB)
My BIOS is ver 1.8 (8/9/ 2003)
I have found that my memory speed timings have dropped by 30% since the upgrade. Will I get better results if I update my bios to ver 2.0 (the latest bios)??
Sysoft Sandra Memory Benchmark shows to memory timings to be about 25% lower than expected
Can anyone help??
Thanks
M Miller

The 875P Neo and 865PE Neo2 boards are kissing cousins They have a lot in common.
It would help if you create a signature and put all your hardware information in it. Things like what type of video card and what type of ram all have an impact on what performance modes you can operate under. See the Rules at the top for what to include and how to do it.
You should also read P4 Neo Unofficial Guide and Moan Guide.

Memory speed in CCC

hi, i have 2x msi r4870x2 cards in crossfire.
what im wondering is that in CCC it says that the memory speed is at 900mhz but in the spec for the card its way higher.
is everything as it should or is there anything i should do to make the cards go at spec speed?
dont like fiddeling to much since i dont wanna ruin anything

That's suppose to be 900MHz means 3600 effective, since memory used is GDDR5, which works at ratio 1:4{not 1:2 like any prevision till now}, R4870X2-T2D2G-OC:
Take for example R4870-T2D512-OC which also use GDDR5, but its single card{not X2 like yours}, rated mem. freq. is 4000, but real one is 1000MHz. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodvgaspec&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=137&cat3_no=&prod_no=1509#menu

Memory Speed (MHz) missing in 'About This Mac'

Hi
I'm using a Macbook Pro with 10.4.9 and all updates and I recently noticed that the memory speed is missing in the 'About This Mac' window.
It's saying: Memory 1GB 0 MHz RAM.
Am I the only one with this problem or is this a bug?

Memory Speed Wrong In Cpu-z I have ddr533

Sorry for the double post didnt mean to do that
WELL I finally got my better memory to see how far I can push my prescott but only thing is my memory speed is showing up as pc3200 in cpu-z I am running in dual channel and yes I do have one in each slot (1 and 3). Can any one help on this issuse and what setting do I set it to in the bios auto?any help would be great. and what would be good timings for this memory.

UnderTheSun,
I can run 3-4-3-7 with SPD set manually with PAT=normal(Disable) and read the same on CPUZ using Bios 3.6, are you always get 3-4-4-8 wiht SPD setting manually?
I dont have this problem with FSB above 250 mHz (testing with CC I can reach FSB 261 mHz)
On what FSB did you have CAS set to 2.5 on Bios, since even I set it manually on bios with CAS value 2.5 the CPUZ is always read 3 with PAT=normal(disable).
Funny thing with this mobo CAS value always set to 2.5 if I turn PAT=Fast (Fast, Turbo and Ultra Turbo always have the same memory speed using memtest86+) and the bad things is I loose the CAS value 3 in Bios so I need to reflash the bios.
I cannot change the CAS value to 2.5 with this mobo as shown on the following link,
http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.html?i=1867
I would like to try OCZ PC3700 Rev.2 EL Gold Edition which in my opinion working best with this 'P' series regarding DOT and manual OCing as shown in the following link,
http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.html?i=1940
According to OCZ office this DDR is discontinued so I need to find it on the online store and hope can get it.
So finally I think we need to wait for the newer bios of the 'P' series.

Memory speed problems?

don't know if anyone else has experienced this but let me know if you have and if there is a way to fix it. So I am running XP Pro from Boot Camp 1.4. I test my Windows performance with PC Pitstop. When I was running Vista on 1.3 I tested and the memory speed was 8230 MB/s, very good. Now when I running XP with 1.4, my memory speed has dropped to 3300 MB/s. Does anyone know a different speed test for XP.
Also is there a speed test for OS X?
And there seems to be a lag sometimes in response. I will sit down to use XP and it will take a minute of sitting there before I get "dings" and responses to input.
It seems that there might be a problem with the defrag also because even when the drive has just been defraged, it still gives me a defrag warning. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

After looking into this a little more, it seems that the transfer rate I am getting for my memory is consistant with DDR2-3200 RAM which runs at DDR2-400 speeds. Does this mean that the memory is not as fast as it could be. Do they make DDR2-667 modules?

Memory speed only showing 200mhz on post

so heres a strange one. I just moved the guts of my system into a new case this past weekend. When I booted up for the first time I noticed in post my memory speed is only showing 200mhz. I have 3 sticks of memory in my system and should run at 333mhz, which it was befor ethe move. Even mroe curious, I took out one stick and set the remaining two in slots 1/3 and the system only reads it as 333... not 400. I am a bit perplexed and have no clue how to fix this. My specs are below. I know that it is HIGHLY recommended to run chips that are similar but I've never had a problem until I moved the guts to the new case.
In bios I have memclock set to AUTO. I have changed the memclock to LIMIT DDR400 but that doens't change anything. I've tryed changing the CL/TRCD/TRAS/TRP with both LIMIT DDR400 and AUTO.... no changes. I have upped the voltage all the way to 2.85 with again both memclock settings. I have played around with my FSB, I've gotten it all the way to 215 without a problem, but memroy always stays at 200mhz. The only thing I haven't tryed is resetting the bios witht he jumper and starting over (though I had reset bios defualts, rebooted and then made all teh changes again).
I ran Memtest for 24 hours on all three sticks and they all came out clean. I also ran Sandra 2005 and the numbers are embarrassing for the kind of system I have. I'm stumped, any suggestions?
OH, one last thing, I booted the system with just one stick of memroy in each slot, thats 9 boots... each witht he setting of memclock at AUTO and again at LIMIT400... it either ran at 200mhz or 333mhz on post....
So there is my ordeal, system is stable but I'd like to get the memmory back up to where it was before the swap.

Ok... I shoulld clarify.
with 3 sticks of DDR3200 sandra ran a little over 1200
with 2 sticks of DDR3200 (slots 1 and 3) sandra ran a tad over 2108
there are a couple of pictures eblow to show the post at 15.gig memroy and 1gig. I am refferin to what is being displayed on POST in regards to the DRAM clock.
