OCZ 2x1GB + Patriot 2x512MB Working

[GlacierFreeze]

Hey, this is just for anyone who might find this interesting/useful. I recently bought OCZ Gold Edition 2x1GB to upgrade from 1GB RAM to 2GB RAM. I was planning on selling my 2x512GB Patriot RAM but I figured I'd throw it in my Neo4-F and see if and how it would work for a total of 3GB RAM. First of all 1T won't boot with 4 DIMMs installed, so I'm forced to stick with 2T. That doesn't bother me much because I mostly game and the differences are slim to none. Anyways I wanted to see if I could get this to work with 250MHz speed which is what the OCZ is rated for at 3-4-4-8 timings. I manually entered it in BIOS to force all RAM to have the same. Booted up Windows and wanted to see what it would bench at. I started up CPUBench 2003 but it got the the 3D model of the person and the system froze. Then I restarted and used a divider (166MHz) thinking the Patriot didn't like to go that high even with the really lose timings (compared to 2-3-2-5 @ 200MHz). With the divider I figured I could tighten the timings. I altered them to 2.5-3-3-6. After that I ran CPUBench with no problems and primed it for nearly 2 hours while I was out. Guess it's time to see if BF2 can bring this thing down.

edit...
BF2 crashed to desk top 5 minutes into game with 2.5-3-3-6 timings. Bumped it back up to 3-4-4-8 with no problems.
