Procedure

In our tests, we used the Abit IX38 QuadGT motherboard, and in the BIOS we selected AUTO for all memory options. By selecting AUTO, the DDR2 ram will run at the default speed of 400Mhz with a ratio of 2:3. All other settings including CPU frequency and voltages was left at default for maximum compatibilty.

 

BIOS Settings

This part is very important. Running the memory at the wrong timings, speed and voltage can damage your memory modules and also reduce the performance of your whole system. So do be very careful.

If you are unsure what divider/ratio to use or what memory timings to set ... it's best to leave all memory settings to SPD or AUTO. In our tests, we selected all settings to AUTO. 

Voltage adjustments are needed for overclocking ... again if you do not plan to overclock, I recommend that you leave this setting alone. During our overclocking tests we increased the voltage from 2.1V to 2.3V
