http://www.viahardware.com/download/wpresourcepage.shtm Check this out. Follow the Memory Tweak guides. All resources you need are there. If you've not done this, you really should. You can double your memory performance in just a few steps. SiSoft Scores before tweak: 150/150 After tweak: 305/300 I'm dead serious. Read the User Experiences link to see other amazing score increases. Be Warned: Your system may crash while using this program, and it caused some major problems for me. You might want to head straight for the WPCRSET section of the guide and just insert the needed tweaks there. If your system does crash, don't worry if Windows doesn't start, or if it won't POST. Give it a few minutes, open it up, switch DIMM slots, your RAM is not fried. I thought I fried 256MB and almost cried until I got it working again.

Yeah, I know. I forgot it's only for people using the older Apollo Pro and KX/KT133 Chipsets...sorry Heh, I guess I just got too excited about the amazing results "Dominik G." <domgoep@compuserve.de> wrote in message news:96timm$e74$1@nets3.rz.RWTH-Aachen.DE... > this one seems to enable 4 way interleave on older MoBos.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "Don't worry if it won't post" !!!! I like your optimism in the face of danger. I'm asking myself, If a system won't post.... surely there's been a fry-up.

this one seems to enable 4 way interleave on older MoBos. All the new MoBos got a Bios setting with that so its only useful for 'old' hardware

My Asus AV7133 has Optimal setting in Bios - enables 4 way interleaving and as you state, it really does make memory throughput fly.

Or, you could just spend the $80.00 for a new stick of 256MB RAM.

Adding more RAM won't make it faster. Enabling 4 way interleave will. Besides,if he adds more RAM,he'll want to speed that up too.

:) trust me when i was actually facing the danger I was not optimistic, just hoping that I could get it to work...
