I was wondering if someone could help me out? I have a Soyo Dragon Plus mother board with an 800 mhz front side bus. I have three memory slots. I currently am running 1 stick of 512mb, 3200 DDR ram, in slot A, and 2 sticks of 256mb, 3200 DDR ram in slots B and C. Am I limiting the FSB to 400 mhz because I am not running the Ram in parallel? The instructions say to run like sticks in slots A and C to have the memory run in parallel. Should I replace the two sticks of 256mb ram with one of 512mb and just use slots A and C? Would that allow FSB of 800 mhz? Todd

I dont think it matters how many sticks of ram you have. Your ram is 400MHz FSB (PC3200). Its the Hyper Threading that boosts it to 800MHz I believe. so dont worry stick with what you got Grin

You could get a little prog called CPUz. This will tell you exactly what FSB you are running at currently I just cant remember where I got it. Someone put a thread up in one of these forums and I got it from the link there!

AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB&&MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset&&1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2 &&XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200&&80gig HDD&&Loadsa fans!!!

FSB will stay at 400MHz, as that is the processor FSB limit

put the identical sticks in the slots that are 'in parralel', or get a second 512MB stick to replace the old 2x256 modules

Thanks for the information. I thought I might be slowing things up a bit but it doesnt sound like after all. Take care, Todd
