Memory problems, please help!
Hi,
Some time ago, I´ve bought a MSI 661FM2 mobo with a SIS661FX chipset.
Today I did some memory tests with this system:
Celeron D 335 @ 2800MHZ 533FSB
256MB DDR400 unknown brand RAM (DDR333 overclocked to 400)
Radeon 9600XT 128MB
Integrated audio
Same HDD
Memory tests in Everest say that my machine it´s scoring 1239MB/s in read tests and in write tests 630MB/s. Very poor score. Is almost like a celeron 1700 with pc133 ram :suspiciou
So I´m thinking seriously that this problem has to be related with the chipset.
I was wondering if this problem is related to the very cheap sticks of ram, but in other machine with an Athlon 1800+ palomino 300FSB i have tested my mosel ram and it works better. It´s working at 1700MB/s in the read tests. It is normal for an athlon like that. That PC has a SIS chipset too, but it seems that is more efficient than mine.
What do you suggest?
A) Should I get more, quality RAM (corsair, kingston, ocz etc.)?
B) Should I get another mobo with a better chipset? (i865PE with dual channel support)
I know that my Cel d and the radeon are not working at their best. Also, I would like to do some little overclocking, but it is not very important for me. I just want to solve the damn RAM problem.
Thanks! :wave:
