Question About Ram?

[Guest]

I can use SDRAM 133 or PC2700 DDRAM. On my motherboard I am using 1gig of pc133sdram, would it be better if I switch to pc2700 ddram 512 and would FS2002 run better? Just wanted to get your thoughts.P4 2.25GHzWin XPWD 80 GIG 8MB CachePNY GF4Ti 4200 64MBECS P4VXASD2+SB PCI512 Sound CardThanks Gerald

Hi Gerald,P4s are hungry for memory bandwidth, so yes you will see 10-15% performance increase. Also depends if your CPU is 133FSB(533) or 100FSB(400). Check if you have options in BIOS for running RAM in ansync mode 3:4, 4:5 etc.Cheers,Petar

Hello again Yes my cpu is 133FSB(533) and what is ansync mode and if there is a setting in the bios what should it be? or does it depend if it is sdram or ddramThanks Gerald

Ansync is option for running memory independently from CPU FSB, so for instance if your CPU is FSB133 by default DRAM ratio is 1:1=DDR266.Changing DRAM ratio to 4:5 would give you DDR333 which is actual spec for DDR 2700 memory.These settings are only for DDR memory and actual ability to change DRAM ratio is chipset and bios dependant.Petar
