    mushkin pc2700 & asus a7n8x dlx

    hi all,
    just got hold of 2 x 256 Mushkin pc2700 w/ silver heatspreaders (as seen here: http://www.vr-zone.com/reviews/Memor...kin-PC2700.jpg)....
    after tryin a fair few different configs i don't seem to be able to get it to post above 133Mhz on my a7n8x dlx.
    They should be rated to 166 & several articles i've read have had em up to the 200-215 mark. Therefore was wondering if anone had had any experience of this ram and mb combo, if so do you have any ideas / optimal bios settings?

    as always any advice would be much appreciated ...
    cheers

    + bios revision: 1004 Uber-SATA

    Mushkin is top stuff as is your mobo. Esp as your RAM is 'only' PC2700 I find any incompatibility very strange. Ensure you have the RAM set to 6:6, 1:1 etc (ie in sync with FSB). Also you are dropping the CPU multiplier when selecting FSB, right? Finally ensure you use the correct voltage, heatspreaders are usually for show or to disipate heat from over-volting.

    that what i thought
    anyhow spent a while working at 133, and retried 166 at the default slack timings and thats now working, i'm hoping this stuff is 'burning in' and i should be able to hit 200 at some point.
