 Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2003 11:08 am Post subject: Crucial PC2700 CAS2 Settings on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB |
 |
|
Nathan suggested I post my question to him on the forum so here goes. I read his very favorable review of Crucial PC2700 memory (my preferred vendor) just as I was making a decision as to what memory to buy to go on the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MoBo. I am not an overclocker but see no reason not to get the best performance out of the memory. His review stated that CAS 2 was very stable. Now that I have assembled the machine and looked at the BIOS settings it is obvious I need some advice as to how to configure the various settings as I am a complete neophyte in this area. Any advice/recommendations for the memory timing settings for my MoBo would be appreciated.

Assuming that you bought the deluxe version to make use of the dual channel feature, then you have two sticks right?
You will see comments like:
"In DDR mode with one stick of 512Mb memory it scored a 12384, whereas with 2 sticks of memory in DCDDR mode it scored a 12727, a boost of 343 marks running at 133/266 DCDDR. "
Here are a few pix of the bios...these are pretty much standard settings that require little experience. (non-deluxe bios but should be the same)
Lastly just use Google to do a search for "A7N8X DELUXE Tweaks"
that is how I found this page

DMW,
Thanks for the reply and the info. Yes, I have two sticks of RAM installed for dual channel performance. Those pictures are great; really helpful to have them as a guide! And I never thought to use Google to search for specific tweaks. Thanks for that idea. You have been very helpful and I appreciate it very much.
Steve
