Using 3 Memory modules on 865PE Neo2-V

Hi ! I wonder if it´s possible to install three 512MB DDR 400 sticks on a 865PE Neo2-V motherboard (As it has only 3 slots) Will it work as DDR, even if one channel has 1GB and the other 512MB ???
BTW, I´ve always used two 512 MB sticks on one channel (same color slots) Should I see any performance increase if I switch one stick to the other channel ? (one green and one purple)
Thanks for your help !!!

If you want dual channel performance, make sure you plug the DIMM at slot 1 and slot 3; or slot 2 and slot 4. If you have 3 DIMMs and plug them all, you will not have dual-channel performance but you have 512MB more RAM, which will definitely help to reduce the amount of transfer of virtual memory in your HDD and thus improve the overall performance.
So I understand that 1,5 GB of RAM on Single Channel will perform better than 1 GB on Dual Channel ?

  • Blue screen when using 2 memory modules !!

    Hi,
    When I use two memory modules (installed on bank 1 and 2), windows xp fails to install randomly (sometimes at the beginning, sometimes even after a rebooting...) and generates a blue screen of death... !
    However, they are correctly visible at boot time.
    But when I use only one module, it works fine (I tried with the first and the second module separately). These modules are strictly the same.
    What should I do now ?
    Just a remark : my FSB is at 100 Mhz. Is it normal ? (newbie question)
    Thanks
    David
    Here is my configuration :
    Athlon XP 2600+
    2x512 Mb DDR PC2700 (MDT)
    120 Gb UDMA6 IDE master on IDE1
    80 Gb UDMA5 IDE slave on IDE1
    DVD UDMA2 IDE master on IDE2
    Firewire disabled
    RAID activated (but not used so far)
    LAN and Audio enabled

    I think 300 watts is a way too SMALL for what your trying to run.  Check your label on the power supply and see what your 3.3 volt and 5 volt supply amperage is.  Anything less than 200 watts combined or about 28amps on 3.3 and 35 amps on the 5volt is going to give you grief.  You need a bigger power supply.  Recommend Antec or Enermax as the solution.  Antec SL350 or higher.

  • Using 2 memory modules causes kernel panic

    In early 2009 I upgraded my memory from 512 to 2 GB, 2 modules of 1GB each. This past January (just shy of 2 years later) I got a kernel panic. I tested running with a single module, and one module caused panic, the other was fine. Both slots function with the good module. So I got two new matched replacement chips from OWC, put them in and got kernel panics during the boot process. Yesterday I spent testing memory configurations and found this:
    1. chip 1 alone runs fine and passes all Rember memory tests in slot 1.
    2. chip 2 alone runs fine in slot 1 and 2, passes all memory tests in slot 2.
    3. chips 1 and 2 together, in either slot, cause kernel panics before the OS is loaded.
    Has anyone seen this problem? Will it go away if I use top of the line (Apple) memory chips?
    When the kernel panics started back in January, an AppleCare advanced advisor said he had the same problem and he had to remove one module to stop the kernel panics. Running on 1GB doesn't work for me because I tend to max out the memory and programs like Mail, Safari, Photoshop, etc. become unreponsive all together.
    thanks -

    I have spent more time on the phone with OWC about this than I care to remember. Their latest request is that I use an eraser to clean the metal contacts on the chips; if that fails, I get to send the chips back. Whether I get a refund or yet another set of replacement chips, I don't know. They are not experts on Apple machines, that is clear.

  • Using Old Memory Module For New Netbook

    I just bought a Toshiba NB505 netbook. I'm wondering if I can take one of the modules out of my old compaq presario and use it in my new netbook.
    (The compaq runs on XP.)
    If not, can you recommend a 1gig module I can buy.
    Thanks,

    No, Randy, you cannot use your old memory. RAM modules are seldom transferable.
    I recommend that you obtain yours from Toshiba or buy the best that Kingston makes.

  • [T410] discrete gfx - Problem with Video Card and Windows Aero -anyone using 4Gb memory modules?

    [3/3/2010 Update]
    There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v8.16.11.8825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
    Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
    [Original Message]
    Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
    I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
    If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
    Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
    Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
    Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
    UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

  • Qosmio F45-AV425 - Can I use 800Mhz memory modules

    I'm planning to remove the standard 2gb that came with my laptop.
    My question is since the fsb runs at 800mhz can i buy 4gb at 800mhz? (i dont know if the motherboard can take it).
    If i can't do that then ill just buy 667mhz sodimm.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    i'm sorry but I don't understand. All i know is that the processor (Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 2.0 Ghz) has an 800mhz FSB, does this mean that it will work with 800mhz RAM? i thought it was up to the motherboard. Using Everest i got this: Supported FSB Speeds: FSB533,FSB667, FSB800.I'm guessing that means it can handle 800mhz memory dimms. is that right??
    Thanks
    PS: dang... before it post i saw this other row: Supported Memory Types: DDR2-533 SDRAM, DDR2-667 SDRAM... im guess that definetly means it does not support ddr2-800 sdram... thanks again ill just buy 667mhz ram.

  • 865PE Neo2-FIS2R, memory question!

    Hi!
    I´m thinking of buying memory for the 865PE Neo2-FIS2R mother board and have a few doubts that are on my mind.
    1. If I want to use DualMode memory, should I use 256+256 or 512+512.
    Lets assume that I buy 2x 256MB and uses them as DualMode.
    Can I later put another 2 x 256MB into the computer and use them all as DualMode, (256+256+256+256) or is only possible to use 2 of each size.
    Maybee I should buy 1x of 512MB and use it as SingeMode and later complement with another 512 and use them as DualMode.
    hmmmmm.......any point of views?
    The memory I´m talking about is:
     Corsair CMX256A-3500C2 256Mb DDR PC3500 CAS2 434MHz
     Corsair CMX512-3500C2  512Mb DDR PC3500 CAS2 434MHz
    I assume that they are the same as MSI has in its
    "DDR400 Memory Modules Qualified Vender List " and should work just fine with the motherboard.
    Regards
    WiGGoW

    I would not go with that brand of ram. There are alot of issues being talked about involving that ram in this forum. I recommend Kingston and so does MSI. Keep in mind to obtain Ultr-Turbo in Bios you need to buy a latency of 2 or you will get an error message and your bios will reset to slow.

  • 2Gb Memory Modules - Power Mac G5?

    Sorry, I'm only able to find that 2 x 1Gb modules is OK, but so far nothing on 2 x 2Gb modules...

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] DDR Memory with 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum

    SYSTEM SPEC: 400w PSU, Pentium 4 3.2ghz 800mhz FSB (HT), Matrox Parhelia 128 8x AGP card, MSI Neo2 PFS Platinum motherboard.
    Hi there. Im looking for some serious help with my computer. I have a MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum mobo and have been using 512mb DDR RAM with it- the ram is PC2700 (333mhz), non-ECC, ubuffered, non-parity, 184 pin. Now, I have just purchased a new DIMM. This one is
    1gb PC3200 (400mhz), non-ECC, Unbuffered, non-parity, HIGH DENSITY- DUAL IN LINE, 128 x 64, 184 pin
    It doesnt work and my system refuses to boot up. I checked out the specs of the 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum, and it says in the table that you can only use 400mhz DDR RAM with an 800mhz FSB processor (which I have). It says it supports 400mhz RAM, "DUAL CHANNEL", non-ECC, unbuffered memory, but no mention of "HIGH DENSITY" or "DUAL IN LINE". Is there a difference between "DUAL CHANNEL" and "DUAL IN-LINE". Also, does anyone know what the difference is between 128 x 4 and 128 x 64, they are both 1gb? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I have seen some RAM from the same dealer which is not "HIGH DENSITY" and has the 128 x 4 configuration, and is still a 1gb module. Is that safe to buy? What RAM do I need (in detail) for my motherboard. Thanks!

    Always useful with a complete systemspec.including PSU and biosversion, so please make one.
    Can´t see anything wrong with the basic RAM specification - it also matches the MoBo basic specifications:
    - Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 2.5V DDR SDRAM.
    - Supports up to 4GB memory size without ECC.
    - Supports Dual channel DDR266/333/400/433/466/500/533 MHz and up.
    Have you tried removing the old RAM and booting only with the new 1GB stick alone ?
    Using mixed RAM, sometimes works in "Single mode" (see mobo manual), but is not recommended.
    Running Dual-channel ( 2x512 or 1024x2 ) is preferable and gives best performance, but then you need two identical sticks.
    You may also need to increase RAM voltage some in bios (example 2.7v) to achieve best stability.
    If you have some RAM compability issues with 1GB sticks - 2x512 RAM stick would be safer and give better performance, unless your aiming for more then 2GB in total.
    You can also read about the RAM testreport here;
    http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/6728v2.0/memory.pdf
    About "Dual In line Memory Module" - I think it´s the long version for older DIMM description.
    Just like "Double Data Rate" is the long version for DDR RAM.
    DDR means Double Data Rate RAM (in opposition to the SDRAM or Single Data Rate). DDR RAM bends the transfer rate for clock cycle. It can go quicker because it executes 2 instructions for cycle of clock of the RAM instead of an only instruction like it is the case of the SDR.

  • 865PE Neo2-FIS2R and Geil memory problem

    With 512MB (2x256) of Corsair XMS 3700, the system is perfectly stable (runs 24/7 crunching for UD, also have done Prime95 torture test).
    With 1-GB (2x512) of Geil PC4000 Ultra Platinum, the system is very unstable.  It usually won't even boot fully into Windows without a BSOD (which vary) or if it does get into Windows it crashed soon thereafter.
    If I put the Corsair memory back in (like I have them right now, to be able to use the system to post this message), the system is back to 100% stable, so it seems to be entirely a memory-related problem.

    Have run MemTest standard test on the Geil modules individually and as a pair, and have tried different slots.  Testing thus far shows no errors when each module is installed separately, but when used in a pair there are sometimes errors shown.
    Have tried the modules in slots 1,3 and slots 2,4 with no difference.
    Have tried setting DDR voltage from 2.70 up to 2.85v for the Geil (approved up to 2.9v) with no apparent change in stability.
    Have tried changing Spread Spectrum setting between enabled and disabled.  Disabled seems to be better, but problem remains.
    Have tried using SPD disabled with settings listed above, and SPD enabled (which sets timings at 2.5-4-4-8,8).
    Edit: I'd asked for advice, but then realized that the very limited timeframe in which I could return the Geil would expire if I waited beyond business hours today.  So I've RMA'd the Geil and have ordered a 1-GB Corsair TwinX XMS 3700 pack instead.

    I've had similar problems to you but with Corsair TwinX LL's and if you read back a month in this forum you will see others have also with various memories on the 865 FISR.
    The fix I found was Kingston memory but others have had problems with Kingston.    There was a thread running a week or two ago attempting to document successful memory mobo combinations.
    Bottom line, stick with what works on your mobo until MSI fix the incompatability/instability issues.

  • 865PE NEO2 FSIR fails memory tests

    This is the second MB that I've had this problem with, so something is causing them to fail.  Here's the story:
    New install, 865PE Neo2 FSIR + P4 2.6GHz 800MHz FSB, 2 x Crucial PC3200 256MB DDR, everything seems ok, XP installs with no problems.
    About a month down the road I'm plagued by sudden reboots, Microsoft Error Reporting says RAM, says to DL and run it's DOS memory check utility.  I get the utility, create bootable CD and run the utility, computer fails all RAM checks.  I pull each RAM stick in turn and re-run the check with each stick separately, still fails all tests.  Shortly after this, the board refuses to POST.  Ship the board back to New Egg for replacement.
    Installed replacement MB with 4 x 256MB Crucial PC3200, Microsoft DOS memory check program passes, no problems.  About 2 weeks later I run into minor instability so I run the same memory check again, the board fails all tests?????  I pull all Crucial memory sticks and put in a test stick of Corsair XMS 3200; same result, failure of all memory tests.
    At this point, WinXP still runs, but this is the same pattern that the other board showed, right until it quit altogether.
    It occurs to me that I DID flash BIOS to 1.9 between the time I first tested the RAM and got a pass and the time I tested and got a failure, could this be a coincidence?  I can't remember if I updated the BIOS on the first board or not, so this may mean nothing.

    Suspect it is the reallocation for the P4 EE that is the issue.  Reason is that Memtest86 has been running on that box for 9 hours now with NO error.  However, it also shows only 104K of reserved memory.  My other 865 board with onboard RAID (an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe) shows 687K reserved.  So either the ASUS is wasting a lot of space, or the MIS is no longer correctly indicating the amount of memory reserved by the BIOS (including the Promise BIOS) at startup.  Then Microsoft's utility is not correctly scanning.  But Memtest, which probes for the "correct" setting, is.  (The Memtest86 version is 3.0, and the test was done with the Promise enabled and drives attached (so the BIOS loads) and all the other setup was as it would be normally (standard IBOS options, etc.)
    So who's right?  And if MS' tool has the problem, does that indicate Windows XP reads memory the same way?  Hmmm...
    Hmm, I haven't tried reverting BIOS, but I'm typing this on the affected machine (which Memtest 86 says is fine) with only the two RAM chips it likes and so far no problems; I've run PCMark4 and 3DMark4 benchmarks all night and no problems, it was still happily churning away on 3DMark this morning.  I guess either one of the Crucial sticks it doesn't like is bad or Crucial changed something in a revision to the chips it doesn't like.
    Just a FYI, the Crucial sticks it DOESN'T like are CT3264Z40B.8T2
    The sticks it DOES like (at slow or fast performance, forget about turbo or ultra turbo) are CT3264Z40B.8T
    Both pairs are PC3200, CL3, 256MB DIMM's, single sided.
    I think you're right about Microsoft's RAM tester being buggy, I can't believe ANYTHING could run if the RAM was actually giving the errors it shows, EVERY test shows things like "expected result 11111111 actual result ff1e0001"  The Microsoft tester does run fine on the other 5 computers here; a mix of laptops and desktops; none using this board.  It also ran on this board when it was installed, I guess the BIOS upgrade must be the cause.

  • 865PE Neo2(6728) D-Bracket hangs at Memory Detection Test

    This is terribly annoying... I just bought the mother board... Its a 865PE Neo2(6728)800mhzFSB the processor is P4 2.4ghz 800mhz, 512k l2-Cache.  I dont know who made it like i know nothing about northwood or whatever, it says Intel on the box...  I have 512MB of "Legacy Electronics" PC3200 64x64 DDR...  I also just bought a NVdia G4 Ti-4200 64mb DDR 4x AGP made by Pixelview.  I have a 160GB WD 8mb Cache 7200 HD...  Ok the problem is when i go to boot up the computer, the VIDEO doesnt come on, and when i installed the "D-Bracket" the lights hang at 3 light, top right green all other red... Says in the manual that problem is memory detection test, testing onboard memory size,  will hang if damaged or not installed properly.  Ok.  I have no idea how that wo;uld happen so, just to check i took out RAM, no dice, i changed video cards to MX440 G4, no dice, i tried disconnection the PCI slot which has the 160GB hard drive connected(why it needs this i dont know, according to WD WinXP needs...) none of this changes anything.. How do i check the onboard memory or could it be anything else?  Ok thats all i have thanks for the help!!

    Did you tried to boot up the system without the D-Bracket?
    Yes it still does nothing, no video...  Thats why i put in the D-Bracket.  It doesnt sound like its going through the POST either.. I dont know if computers do that anymore thou;gh haha..
    If you did, did you change to another piece of RAM to test?
    I have no more DDR to put in, only SDRam and im sure that wont work..  I tried moving to different slots, 1 3 and 4 thinking maybe it was backwords i dunno...  Didnt do anything, and you USED to be able to take the ram out and still boot into bios etc...
    Did you change any settings in your BIOS?
    I havent even gotten video, nada... Black screen.
    What is the wattage of the PSU you are using now?
    Where do i find the wattage? The watts on the case is uh... 350 or 400 one of the two... The case says USB Deluxe P4 Case... And the watts on the Power supply is 115 if thats what you were wondering... Hope that answer the question

  • 865PE NEO2 FIS2R memory problem

    I have this 865PE NEO2 FIS2R with a 3ghz northwood (512K cache, 800 fsb).
    initially I bought a 1GB Geil PC3500 DDR dual channel kit. installed those into slot 1 and 3, installed windows...during install I would get blue screens. recently I bought a new PC-3700 DDR dual channel kit (industry standard generic stuff). I bought those cause the place I got it from claimed it works on the i875 NEO FIS2R. I figured if it works on the 875P, it should work on the 865PE. with the new memory I get blue screens a tad more often.
    I tried both geil sticks again this time as single channel in slots 1 and 2 (Ch. A). I still got blue screens. I did the same with the new PC-3700 RAM, blue screens with that too.
    I took those sticks out, and tried 1 Geil PC-3500 stick in slot 1, no blue screens.
    Whats the deal here? shouldn't dual channel memory work as dual channel in a dual channel board? WHy can't I use 2 sticks of the same RAM in this board!
    is it just incompatiable with geil dual channel? If so what about the PC-3700 RAM I tried as dual. I am thinking about trying a set of OCZ dual channel RAM, but I feel I already got $400 worth of RAM I can't use, I don't really want to waste another $200 if this is just a crappy board.
    I'm thinking of just getting the new Asus with the SiS 655TX chipset, supposed to be faster anyway. 2 sticks of RAM would most likely work in that board.
    I really don't want to spend anymore money on this though...I spent enough.
    the specs:
    P4 3ghz northwood
    865PE NEO2 FIS2R (with updated 2.3 bios)

    3com Network interface card
    WD 120GB SE hard drive
    Plextor 8X DVD-RW drive
    Lite on 16X DVDROM drive

    This problem is not yet solved....
    I tried increasing the ram voltage to 2.8v, it ran fine for about 3 days...then boom..restart
    I am seeing other people are having the same problem with these 865/875 boards.
    after raising the ram voltage didn't work I tried unplugging all of my extra hard drives 1 by 1 with the memory set to 2.7v.
    I am at the point where I have only my boot drive connected with the two DVD drives.
    But I am still thinking its my power supply...that power supply caculator page says I need a 519 watt PS?? I have a true550 which is only 530 watt max.
    If I do need to add 20% to the power calculated, I would need a 622 watt PS???
    I am running speedfan now....how low is the voltages ok to drop to?
    the +12 dropped to 11.19, max is 11.80
    the rest of the voltages are staying more or less constant .
    Oh yea, on occasion the nb fan stops, I get a warning in corecenter saying 0 RPMs.
    Also I can't set the fans to high speed, 6000RPM for the nb, and 5000RPM for the CPU.
    If I set corecenter to user, and move the slide up to 8, the max is only 3375RPM for the CPU and 3750RPM for the NB fan.
    Also every once in awhile the power LED on my case will go out while the system is running.
    But thats been doing that for awhile now!
    I'm thinking I will connect up my other hard drives again and run this speed fan program again.
    update:
    I reconnected my drives, ran speed fan, noticed it stops responding after 10 min...I get an error saying smbus cannot be scanned...or something like that.
    Also I've got errors when downloading saying I have no ports available. it sounds like the bus is shutting down??
    This is not the only MSI 865PE NEO2 FIS2R I have ran into problems with
    it looks like I will be getting a new board next week....either an Asus or Abit.

  • 865PE Neo2 Memory problems

    Hi All,
    I just put together a new pc with the following configuration:
    P4 2.4GHz FSB 800 w/ stock HSF
    MSI 865PE Neo2-LS
    2 x 256MB Hynix DDR400
    ATI Radeon 9000Pro
    80GB Maxtor 7200 RPM
    Enermax 350W Dual Fan PSU
    Windows XP Pro
    The problem: When using the two sticks of memory (in either dual channel or single channel) the pc crashes everytime starting Windows.
    If I use only one stick it boots up fine. Hynix is on MSI approved vendor list so I can't see what the problem might be!!
    I tried with different memory type (DDR333) in one channel and works fine.
    So, each time I use more than one slot the system crashes.
    Any ideas why? Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    The only time when my windows crashes is when i use the "Turbo" setting in the bios..The only setting i can use is "Slow". But that's because i don't use good memory, the memory you use is high rated.
    Do you have the latest bios, 1.30? And did you try some other memory Dram timings? Try to contact Hynix, did you try this site
    http://www.hynix.com/datasheet/eng/dram/dram_sub.jsp?RK=03&MS=256&ME=511&RAM_NAME=DDR
    maybe it will help you any further. )
