Hi, I have an ASUS A7S333 motherboard, which takes DDR333 DIMM 185 pin chips. I'm
trying to get the SPD values for the Micron memory I have installed in the board. The
outside of the chip reads Micron Technology, PC2100, 256MB, 266Mhz. I talked to MT
about this and they doubt that it really their chip. It should have a bar code and a
logo. It has none, just the info I stated above, which is on a plain white tag.
According to my BIOS, SPD values correspond to items labeled CAS, Delay and two
others. I'm only able to recall that much from my head.
In any case, I went to the site where I bought the memory chip in March 2003, and
looked for what they sell along these lines. (They are trying to find my order at the
moment that will give better detail on what I really bought.) I see the required chip
for sale, and it is shown in two flavors: Micron and Micron or Micron or Major 256MB
PC2100. I have a feeling I bought the Major, but can't be sure.
All of this boils down to asking what are the four values I need? The values are
shown as 2T, 3T, 3T, and 6T. There are a few choices for each. Mayb setting them to
their highest values or lowest is the best strategy.
Oh, the reason I'm interested in these values is that my ASUS board refuses to let me
set the cpu speed above 1.1GHz. When I try the other choice, 1.6GHz, I get a Win boot
up message about a corrupt file. I called ASUS and they suggested setting the SPD
values to those required by the mfger.
