@ matty8887 In the AMD world, the memory must equal or exceed the FSB speed - therefore PC3200 (DDR400) would be the minimum acceptable memory speed in this application. I have heard of asynchronous (6:5) ratios in the Intel world ie. 200FSB:166memory but it's not gonna work with a A8V L8R
What are you TALKING about? I'm on A8V with Athlon 64 and two 128mb DDR266 sticks in dual channel mode.
You can NOT use 133MHz memory with a 200MHz FSB SocketA PC, and certainly should not with the newer Athlon64, although according to Asus the 2000MT/s system bus now supports this SDRAM. 512MB sticks of PC3200 are only $79 bucks Canadian ($65 bucks US / 35 Pounds Sterling). If you have bought in to Socket939 and its advanced integrated high-speed dual-channel memory support, and are using antique memory chips from 2001, you are misguided. Sure we all want to save a buck, but then you would have bought Socket754, right? And it would probably be faster, with a single stick of PC3200, than yours with dual-channel PC2100! But I stand corrected with the asynchronous support, using SocketA myself, where the memory must equal or exceed the FSB. But I still note the best performance (and maximum compatibility) are to be found in synchronous operation ie. PC3200 @ 200MHz(400DDR). Anyway, whatever, I hope you guys are up & running Regards
