So i installed an older driver, activated Crossfire but aquamark 3 crashed all the time. And some mins ago i got the error RAM full ... can't start anything. I'll NEVER build my own PC again ... They cheched for the parts to run together but nothing seems to work, i think the RAM error occures as soon as i activate Crossfire :( But i can feell the power my pc :D the first 3 minutes of Aquamark 3 (Before buescreen) are running twice as fast(i think thats a hint that's something wrong) as my friends PC but with FPS of 190, he got 60 xD Hope i will get crossfire working ... Damn drivers. --------------------  |

the mhz numbers do imply they are faster.. just like PC 100/133 DDR 266-333-400-433-500-667 etc. but the 4 numbers at the end of the RAM also matter. your Cas Latency, RAS/CAS etc they are memory timings. They can affect how well that 400/667/1000 mhz can preform. Just be cuase your car can go 240mph does not mean that is acheiving that speed in the most efficient matter.
I will look into it further for timings on DDr2. but at least with DDR, the lower the timings of the ram... a sequence of 4 numbers something liek : 2-3-3-6 Generally the lower the numbers the more effiecient and seemingly quicker the RAM acts. That is the sequence of my RAM. my motherboard originally had them setup in BIOS as 3-3-3-8 and while I changed themto be the manufacture of the ram specified there was a minor imporvement.. nothign really visible but at least it is in the most effienct set up. I believe this is the RAM you have: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memo...tc_dual_channel You did grab a DC kit not just to of the singles? Try running them not in DC.... ie slots 0+1 insteadn of 0+3. -------------------- "Scenes change before my eyes
