Hello all.
I just added a transcend 2gb ddr2 800mhz ram module to my system which already consisted of a kingston 1gb ddr2 800mhz module.
The kingston module runs at 6-6-6-18.
Transcend module at 5-5-5-15.
The problem is that both these modules are now running at 667mhz as shown in my BIOS with settings set to 'Auto mode'.
I manually changed the frequency to 800mhz and tried to change the timings to 6-6-6-18(lower of the two);
but the last parameter(18) has only values from 10 to 15 in the options.
So is it okay to set it to 15 i.e. will the kingston module be able to handle 15 instead of 18.
or should I leave it as it is in automatic mode(performance difference between 667 and 800mhz)?
Also the bios shows ram in dual channel mode which i know is wierd as one module is 2gb and the other 1gb.
Configuration:
Intel Core2Duo E7300, Intel DG43NB mainboard[only 2 ram slots], 1gb kingston ddr2 800mhz + 2gb transcend ddr2 800mhz, , XFX Nvidia 9500GT, VIP 500watt psu.
