new computer

[Snowreap]

last night I increased the memory clock speed from the default of 1066 to its vendor-rated speed of 1333. since then, Prime95 has accrued 98 hours of CPU time (4 cores, each of them hyperthreaded), with no errors.

this is something I was never able to achieve with my wife's previous machine, even though the old one had even faster memory than her new one does (DDR3 1333 6-6-6-20 1.75V, versus DDR3 1333 9-9-9-24 1.5V on the new machine).

I should try her old memory in the new machine to find out whether the problem was with the memory itself, or just more nForce fail.
