Could be PNG ext. Does that to me with that one. Also Frank, what OS did you run Everest in as it appears to me to be XP with those write speeds.

Vista 64.

Really? Man I am using Windows 7 and with tighter timings and mine aren't anywhere close to that.

Here is a screen shot from the review I am working on. Looks like I might need to stop what I am doing and load Vista 64.

Back your cpu back down to 4.3 and try again, best spot for memory performance is 180 Bclk, then about 190 and last about 205. Anything higher seems to hurt memory performance but try 180 with a 2000mhz mem speed and 7-8-7-20 or lower timings.

Well what I'm talking about is I have a 4.3ghz bench with the RAM at the same speed with tighter timings and my write is waay less than yours. Prolly Windows 7 related as I know XP mollywopped Vista in Everest RAM bench. I am sure the same is happening with Vista and Windows 7.

Oh I was going off of your above screen shot at 4398mhz. Post up your 4.3 for comparison. I can pull sub timings if you want as well.

jpeg, jpg and png should be workin o.k. at 1280x1024 max res.

There on my other hdd. Just installed Vista and going thru the update process. I also need to install XP on my other hdd as I need all three OS for this mobo. I have a feeling it is OS based but if not I will post up the 4.3ghz shot. Can't post up all my RAM shots or at least not yet. ;)

Well I gained some but still a lil ways away. Let me see those advanced timings if you don't mind. Also I think the difference might be mine is Elpida while yours is Hyper Elpida. :( I can get great timings on this RAM but if it is still slower than Hyper's that have looser timings I need to send it back home and get me a set of Hypers.
