4 gigs of 533Mhz but yer i know its slow....Poseidon wrote:
Anything you should upgrade?
Yep.
Everything.
A 6150 is like...what, 4 years old now? A 5200+ isn't bad but it's not good compared to C2D's. And is that 4 gigs of 400MHz RAM? Blech.
Well it's not running at 533 that's for sure, I'd say a full system rebuild is in order.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

as i said im not going to do a complete rebuild... until the Nvidia 9 series comes outTheEternalPessimist wrote:

interesting... i was told on this forum that i shouldnt bother over clocking... but hmmmSpIk3y wrote:
You should overclock your processor a bit so your RAM runs at the right speed. I have the same CPU and that's what I did. It's because the 5200+ has an odd multiplier of x13, so it underclocks RAM
Well then that's what you need to do. There's really not many options you can upgrade now.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

lol thx... yer when the 9 series comes along im going for best of everything... no holding back lolPoseidon wrote:

When the 9 series comes out, there'll be bundles of new stuff. New 45nm quad cores, cheaper and more efficient RAM, better mobos, etc. Waiting for the 9 series is actually a very wise choice. Good thinking.
And that's the absolute best option you can go for!Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

The multiplier has no impact whatsoever on RAM speed.SpIk3y wrote:

This was posted by a tech-wiz on the AMD forums when I asked why my RAM was not running at the proper speed.if you are using a am2 cpu that uses an odd muliplier then yes it will underclock it. my x2 6000 used a multi of (200x15=3ghz) and it clocks the ram at 375 at stock speeds.
to get the ram to run at 400 I have to oc a little (215x15). the even multi's don't have this issue.
Well I suppose since it's derived from the overall CPU frequency rather than the bus rate, you could have an issue. But surely it balances out ok, doesn't it? If not that's really crap design. It certainly doesn't impact the 939 or 754 CPUs which also have the memory controller on die - but that could be down to the lower 200MHz clock rate which would be easier to get accurate dividers for - lets have a look:SpIk3y wrote:

AMD's have an integrated memory controller on the die, so the multiplier does affect the RAM speed. So when you increase the CPU frequency, the RAM speed goes up. This is why the OP should just overclock a little bit to boost the RAM to the right frequency.
