Alright heres the plan I have an OCed 3000+ @ 2.6Ghz with 2x512mb of HyperX 3500. Tomorrow or Saturday I am going to be adding an additional 2x512mb of HyperX 3500. Here are my settings, I would love it if I could just pop them in and all would be fine but how are my chances of that? Anyways here ya go:

So this is what I have my settings at right now, what do you think I should adjust or will have to adjust once I install the new sticks of ram?
 
You most likely won't be stable at the same speed, but at the very least you'll need to be running 2T
 
I haven't OCed a damn thing in maybe a year and a half I had to go back and re-read a lot and get CPu-Z and clockgen again so please dumb every response down a bit for me. I miss how easy Bartons were to OC nforce 2 <3
 
Four sticks = 2T timings from what I understand. So you will be inherantly slower.

but let me remind you, it'll only be MAYBE 2-3% slower in real world apps. The only difference you'd notice is in benchmarks. I wouldn't really worry about it.
 
Yea, but I was just saying so he would know that it will slower. Synthetics mean alot to some :)
 
what settings if any do I need to adjust to 2T
 
Could it be labeled as something besides command rate? I dont see it anywhere. Will it also say 2T or does 2T mean a certain number/setting?

this is what you're looking for. You should see the setting as either 1T or 2T. You've got a DFI board, so I'm positive the setting is there. It'll be somewhere under the RAM settings.
 
I must be blind or something I dont see it. Is there normally numbers there or something?
I see DRAM Frequency set at the top where I can change like 166= Ram/FSB

Then I see Commands per clock
Auto
Enable
Disable
(I have it enabled)
to the right the description reads:
This field specifies if DRAM CMDs & address will be driven for 2 clock cycles enable to force 1T clock timing of CMD Address bus.

Is this it? If I put in my other 2 sticks of ram will it change to 2T then I should enable it? am I still not looking in the right place?

It looks like that's it. Disable it, save settings, reboot, and check in CPUZ
