I see no increase in speed from adding 1G ram

[cornholio7]

if slot 2 and 4 have 512 then it will work as it should
try taking the two 256mb out as chewy said

[anonymez]

i can say from experience that there is very little difference in speed between 512mb dual channel & 1GB dual channel with dvdshrink (other apps, such as photoshop increase dramatically in performance). even less difference between 2GB and 1GB. Adding more ram, however, will definitely increase multitasking performance. your CPU is the bottleneck here.

try removing the 256mb sticks

[Chewy]

at 8.4MB/s I think the optical drive is one of his bottlenecks?

I never could break 12 minutes using mine.

I can rip a 4.4 movie in 5 minutes tho????????

[Dr Klovernutz]

i pulled the 256 sticks and when i turned the computer on a screen saying a change in memory occured F1 to continued F2 to run setup utility
i hit F2 to see what i had, under memory it said

Installed System Memory 1024Mb DDR SDRAM
System Memory Speed 400mHz
Channel mode DUAL
AGP Aperature 128MB

(for my DVDShrink speed test I am using CASINO 10th anniversary edition, files already on HD, encoding full disc 61.8% ,AEC maximum sharpness, analysis already done)

I left this alone and started computer and ran shrink
I noticed no increased speed over before (actually it seemed a bit slower)
encoding speed 1.8 MB/sec

I then turned off computer reinstalled the 256 MB in DIMM1 (channels A and B)
hit F2 and here is what the BIOS said i had
Installed System Memory 1536Mb DDR SDRAM
System Memory Speed 400mHz
Channel mode DUAL
AGP Aperature 128MB

this says dual....

anyhow i turned computer on and ran encoding and my speed is at
2.2MB/ sec
anyone else have any input or suggestions for a movie i cna compare my speeds to???

Chewy, here is a system stat: You see what type of memory I have. All I did was print out this page and give it to the guy at the computer store

download everest home edition from

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

there are 2 memory benchmarks and a latency

there is also an overclock in computer that will show you the spd tables
of your ram

[drfsupercenter]

Chewy, what about mine? You see any obvious error?

You are fine!

[drfsupercenter]

Then why does it say that the memory's max speed is 133 MHz when it specifically said 266 on the box?!

[Chewy]

Then why does it say that the memory's max speed is 133 MHz when it specifically said 266 on the box?!

it's all about doubling and keeping us real confused



the bus speed is 133, but you are using DoubleDataRate ram

which is 2 x 133 = 266

what am i supposed to do with this program

when i try to open that window under (overclock) a window saying nVIDIA OpenGL driver
Driver component sizes mis-match. OK to keep going. Cancel to exit

can't get past error message
looking into it now.......
