[wilson44512]

i was using cpu-z an noticed that in the memory part the performance mode is disabled is there a way to turn it on ,or will it help? i have a gateway with windows xp 2.8GHz 1GB ram type DDR-SDRAM

Loonk in the bios usually in the chipset configuration(or something that looks like it) section

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, MSI 6800Ultra stock, 2X30gig Raid0

CPU-Z reads the memory modules information directly from the SPD memory chip. The performance mode is a property set in the motherboard's BIOS. For certain boards, you will have to set the performance mode to 'auto' in order for CPU-Z to read the memory's SPD program.

I'm not sure if you can change this setting on a Gateway. But you can try.

I believe (I please correct me if im wrong) that the performance mode CPU-Z is talking about is in fact intels PAT (performance excelleration technology). This is a feature of intels 875 chipset, the 865chipset is identicle to the 875 chipset except it has has PAT disabled.

There is no way to enable PAT on a 865 based board. (Dont worry we are talking about 1% performance difference).

BTW brent, did you get any further with that memory sticky?

I have been pushing forward slowly but surely. I have quite a bit already.

It's been a stop and go process.

Please let me know if you guys have anything to add.
