| It should help a little. What also seems of concern is that the memory seems to be running at 200mhz, instead of 400mhz - Even though it is listed as such. I'd investigate and go into the BIOS setup and see if you can bump up the speed. That would be a major performance loss if it is indeed running at only 200mhz (Which seems to be the case as in the memory test it is listed as DDR2-400, yet up top the SPD report reports it as DDR2-800.)
So try bumping up the frequency back up to 400mhz instead of 200mhz and run the test again. That should help substantially. |

Birmingham, AL | I think AMD's using dual chancel so this will make x2 200Mhz i think.And another thing made me worred is they have insalled old mouse port card found in 486 and PI computers. |

You don't understand. The RAM is listed under the SPD tables as being 400mhz capable. Since it is DDR this means it is DDR2-800. Currently, your RAM is running at 200mhz, as the test is reporting DDR2-400. It is not running in dual-channel mode as you have one stick of 2GB, and one stick of 1GB. You need a matching pair to run in dual-channel mode. |
