TWO sticks of 256megs ram @150FSB no go for CUSL

ZenmasteR · 03-29-2001, 11:28 AM

Anyone know of a fix?
or is this board crippled?
I would like to use both crucial cas2 sticks which ran fine indvidually at 150mhz but when together they cause data corruption

Try strong driving instead of normal.

ZenmasteR · 03-31-2001, 07:29 AM

did that already
I guess this is a major problem not yet fully exposed

Try 7/9 rather than 5/7

One another bad possibility is that there is one or two small ICs that are torn or there is scapped electrical traces on mobo, without you aware of it. I just want to share my experience her. I have another CUSL2 mobo that is broken, because 1 smal ICs near socket 370 clip is scapped (not the one near DIMM, but the other one near capacitor). I always get data corruption everytime I download big files. Worst come to worst, many files in my HDD just got data integrity corrupted. I just realize it after I recheck all the mobo surface with magnifying glass & lamps.

Did you try installing the sticks in slots 1 & 3?

Well, crazy but....
Just got 1Gig@1162MHz, 155fsb 2x256MHzmt, air cooling only...go figure !!
Did not think it could go even close to 150...
Settings : 3/2/3/ 7/9 strong...

hi , strange prob , the cusl2-c should run fine with those mem sticks, is there a posibility that one of the sticks is not working correctly? The only other thing i can think of is to play with the mem settings (7/9 233/ 223/222/and so on , if this all doesn't help then it could be that the board is faulty, maybe you can try to run the two sticks on a friends pc with the same mobo?
Good luck!!
