how do I lower memory frequency?

[viverra]

hi

i would like to try lower RAM frequency and i don't know how.

in bios i can only find settings for memory latencies and voltage.

more complete description of my troubles may be found here: http://www.techist.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29720

thank you

as i said i cant find any such thing in my bios.

i have found latencies in the advanced > chip configuration menu and all the frequencies in the advanced menu itself relate to the cpu

could it be hidden somehow? or called otherwise?

i can't simply see it.

Lower the DRAM frequency to 133 Mhz (PC2100).

The DRAM frequency will be in the same menu as the CPU's external clock.

all i have is CPU external frequency and AGP/PCI frequency

i would love to do what you suggest, it sounds like i'm just one step from relief, or at least installation

Can you give some specifications on the memory?

below is all the information i can read when i take the module out:


Is is made by a Polish manufacturer Wilk Elektronik and ironically named "GOOD RAM".

DDR 256 MB PC3200 DIMM

GR400D64L3/256
010227MT0073

i found this statement in a review of my mb:

DRAM Frequency: synchronous with external CPU frequency.


i also found that other mb's bioses indeed have the "ddr frequency" in the advanced menu. mine does not. apparently, the mb features so-called "jumperfree mode", which should allow more tweaking around, but oddly enough, the manual does not say how to set it.

i will keep on researching
