So, here's the deal; I'm not quite ready to get a completely new computer, so I picked up a set of cheap components second hand. I got an ASUS P5Q Deluxe, Intel C2D E8400 (now I have 2 of them ), Scythe Mugen and Mushkin 2x2GB DDR2 PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 Blackline 800MHz (996580) for 110€ .
From my old system I kept an MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC and GEIL Gaming Series DDR2 800MHz 2x2GB PC2-6400 (GB24GB6400C4DC).
I inserted both RAM kits (Mushkin in Channel A and GEIL in Channel B), and set the Timings and RAM Voltage in BIOS to their specifications (both kits at 4-4-4-12 and 2.0V), but now I'm not sure if those settings were applied to both kits. I'm not really that good at understanding the SPD tab in CPU-Z, but on first glance it looks like the settings were only applied to the Mushkin kit:
So, am I reading it incorrectly or did I miss something in BIOS?
