Hi everyone, my name is Rajveer and I'm new to these forums. I chose tweaktown to share my problem with as its usually full of people who know what they're talkin about!
After slugging it out with an old Dell for the past 5 years, I thought I'd treat myself to a totally new computer a month ago, so I went out and got myself:
Coolermaster Wave Master Case
Abit AW8-MAX motherboard
LGA775 Pentium 4 650 3.4GHz
Corsair XMS2 1GB DDR2 XMS2-8000UL Low Latency TwinX (2x512MB) (running at DDR2-667 5-4-4-9)
Maxtor 300GB SATAII hard drive
Leadtek Geforce 7800GTX 256MB
My old DVD and CD-RW drive from Dell...gotta save some money hehe
Along with my old ThermalTake Butterfly 480W (which I REALLY need to change!)
I have a few problems with my PC, random crashes during idle and loading maps in BF2 (which I'm putting down to my PSU), and slow memory.
When I run the memory benchmark in SiSoftware Sandra (latest version), I get around 4977MB/s for "RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2" with 79% efficiency: however for "RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2" I get 1775MB/s with 28% efficiency! Why I get this I don't know, I'm pretty sure I have everything setup correctly, and the fact that I get a much higher integer bandwidth confirms this, doesn't it? I'm told in Sandra I should increase my FSB which is currently at 200Mhz, but I shouldn't need to do this for my memory to work at stock speeds! Please help!
Thanks for your time!
