Using all dimm slots = cas 2.5? (8k3a) Is it true that if you use up all of the dimm slots on the 8k3a mb, you'll be forced to run your dimms @ cas 2.5? http://www.plaudersmilies.de/party/bdayfrown.gif If so, Why? Im planning on buying 3x256 PC2700 Samsung (single-sided), but now it might be better buying only 2x?

This is in order to raise stability of system with multiple dimms. We all know of the problems that can be faced with multiple dimms unfortunatley. I believe the SPD data of all PC2700 Samsung is for CAS2.5 if I am right. I think only their PC3200 can have 2T CAS at 166MHz memory clock.

it is also the case 3 dimms = 2t time comand is forced ![]() i just dont understand we have the option on the bios to set 2.5 and 2 cas or 1t or 2t time comand if it´s unstable for us , we will change it to 2.5 cas and 2t , the forcing is so frustrating ![]() what´s the point for settings like 1t/2t/AUTO in the bios if they are forced anyway I mean it makes no sense what so ever in a mobo with such overclocking features and aimed for performance really sad ![]()

Actually if you think of this (The creation of a motherboard and it's BIOS's) as a development "process" it makes perfect sense. Each Manufacture tries to put EVERYTHING they can into each motherboard in order to be competitive with every other Board maker. Along the way they of course run into difficulties and pare-down these aspirations to find a "Happy medium" between what they would like to accomplish and what is attainable in the moment. Stability and speed will ALWAYS be at logger-heads in ANY development process. Therefore a board and it's BIOS's can only be judged by how well this balance is effected. Look at how much more we are asking a Motherboard to do than just 2 years ago! This was not and cannot be attained with out a few bumps along the way. Everyone wants what they want when they want it..... But not everyone wants the same thing. Trying to understand consumer preference and meet it in a timely fashion is the name of the game.
