What's your memory assessment speed?

well i got my new g.skill CL9 1600 sticks (2x4) running at 1800fsb and 1687 mem 9/9/9/24 but at 1T atm getting around 7800mb/s, my 1800mhz super talent 8/8/8/24 2T were getting around 8700mb/s @ 2000mhz with 8/7/6/18 2T so im pretty pleased i now have 8gb ram with hardly any loss even though they were the cheapest sticks i could get at 1600mhz. that is on the xfx 790i ultra, now i just gotta wait for my evga 790i digigtal pwm to come back from RMA to see what the difference is between the 790i and the ultra and then i can post some comparisons. should be interesting as some sites claim the ultra has a slightly higher mem bandwidth.

but with 8gb ram i still have 7.5 WEI score. no improvement there.

im just happy to not have a page file anymore (its my first time!) lmao.

im thinking i might use the ultra and build a htpc, all i need is a case with a psu and a gpu, i got the e8400, 4gb supertalent, zalman 9700 cooler and the crapative xfi platinum all lying around. mind you i have 3 9800gx2's i wonder if i can get the spare one working again, or maybe split the cards in half and see if that works with just the single card with the pci-e connector?

Nice score, see if u can get 1T timing, u might get a nice boost. I take it thats an AMD setup?

Mushkin Em Series DDR2 4 4 4 12 1T 8 GB WEI 7.3. Looking through this thread I see names like Crucial,Kingston,G-skill,Corsair,Patriot. I have used Crucial memory before and found it to work excellent. I am sure that all the other brands there users will vouch for there performance. But I like Mushkin. Lifetime warranty great preformace and a group of people who really stand behind there product.

Yeah it is...sorry i suppose i should fill out my system specs...i been slacking. I built it just to kinda see if i could do it, moral of the story is I should have done a bit more research on the hardware...Asus M3N78-Pro motherboard doesn't allow me to set my timings, it has a lot of options but for some reason thats the one thing they won't unlock in the bios. This is my first serious system so I'm not an expert but I think that has some to do with holding me back from going over 3.1 with my phenom, its a 9950 BE.

asus M3N78-PRO mobo
phenom x4 9950
xfx geforce 9800GT

Mayb check 4 a bios update?

While you can run without a pagefile and 8GB, it's still better to have one.

6GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600

Here's mine: Kingston DDR2-6400 8 Gb
