I recently built an Athlon64 system My Athlon 64 build adventures. and I would like to be able upgrade the ram to 2Gb with 2 1Gb ddr memory modules in dual channel.
I have many 1Gb DDR memory modules, most of them different models of kingston, but I don't seem to be able to make them work. I currently have 2 512Mb apacer modules in the system and they work fine even with 2.5-3-3-8 timings and T1.
I have tried everything I can think of with those 1Gb modules, but I still seem to always get errors in test #8 of memtest86. I have tested slower timings like 3-4-4-10 T2 and I have tried increasing the voltage to 2.7V and I have always been using.
Any idea if the problem is with the motherboard or could it only be that the ram modules are such bad quality that they just don't work dual channel?
