Sorry, I was referencing the GMH chips which were so coveted just two months ago. Now everyone wants X's Fatbody's is that what they are? Anyhow, Fold On everybody.

It sounds like your MOBO has issues with 4GB. Did you up the MCIH voltage a bit? With 4GB of ram it puts more load on the controller.

Perhaps its that Memory Hole for PCI MMIO BIOS setting like the other guy today. Try enabling that :-)

lol, yes overpriced burning poo in other words.

Ok, 32 Bits (11111111111111111111111111111111) = 4,294,967,295 (Or 4 Gigs as we call it) A 32 Bit OS can see 4 GB of RAM. Now, depending on your physical peripherals, The OS will map some of that ram address space to them to keep thing linear. My Physical available RAM is 3.4 GB. Many...

Yeah 2.8 sounds too high!

I dont know what your Vista booting problem is. I think loosening the timings is a good idea. Try it. If Orthos runs 10 minutes its usually, but not always stable. Vista might be using some memory that flakes out on it during boot or it might be confused. My guess is that reinstalling will...

To Me, 64 Bit is nice for Office, Development, Server etc. But for Games, its a tradeoff. Plus you have to run 32 bit browser for Flash to work. Its sort of Akin to running Windows 2003 vs XP. BORING! lol. If Vista was fine before, but is hanging now, your system may be unstable. Even though...

With 4GB and stock volts, they may not work. Mine do though. I would set them at their rated timing and voltage and then if Memtest doesnt work, RMA them. If you want to get them to work you might have to up the voltage on RAM as well as the Northbridge. Do both pairs work by themselves? If...

I have mine turned off and can not see it because it is not there. Yes, it sits on C:\ root of the drive unless you move it.

Ok, you two do NOT have the same problem. You have different problems. Well, solutions anyways, your problems are sort of the same. Person one with 2GB in post. Pull them all out and reboot. Then put them all back in and see if it posts with 4GB. Might want to clear the CMOS or something. The...

My CB RAM will not run at the rated 4-4-4-12 1GHZ rated speed without crapping out unless I raise the NB Volts to 1.625 and the RAM to 2.2. Too hot for my blood. I have em around 880 at 4-4-4-14 on 1.56 / 2.1 they are about 4 months old now. I have 4GB which makes a difference.

I can see the picture. It shows that the IHS doesnt quite mate with his block. On a fresh IHS, all you have to do is look at it to tell it is not flat. If you are lucky, it will be bowed out (convex)so that mounting your cooling block will squish it in. If you are not lucky, it will be caved in...

There is no such thing as "Overkill". My PC is about 1% of how fast I want it to be. And when it is 100 times faster, I’ll want it 100 times faster again. Anyhow, There is no doubt this is a gimmick. Something to introduce prior to 45nm and the stock speed benches on this thing...

Folding at home would be faster running on all 4 cores. I run mine 24x7 on water at 70 degrees.. err make that 75 geez its getting hot in here.
