Sorry if I was rude before, I didn't mean to offend, it all just sounded too familiar.

Anyway, I'm not too familiar with ram, or the format of the read-out you have provided, but this definitely has ram-issue written all over it. I'm sure the experts will be here in no time...

It's alright, and if you really care, I am paying for it. The rig was 2000 dollars so my mom put it on her credit card and im paying 700 a month till it's paid for. If this RAM isn't 667MHZ like they said i'll just call em up and have them send me some.

Newegg.com - CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Desktop Memory - Retail
the stickers on the 2 ram sticks say VS1GB667D2

Also my FPS went from 79 constant on America's Army maximum settings on a 26 man server to 40. This just happened overnight, wtf could be going on?

Your ram is the correct speed. Its "quad pumped" because its ddr2. so its 166.x times 2 = 333.x times 2 = 667.

DDR2 SDRAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Then what could have possibly made such a drop in FPS and cause such choppy performance?

plant · 03-26-2007, 02:27 PM

list your full system specs. what games? those temps posted before were idle temps?

dario03 · 03-26-2007, 02:38 PM

How often does it happen? You don't have something in the background running like a virus scan or something, do you?

Sorry I can't be of any help but you paid $2000 for that? You could get something that absolutely kicks it's *** for that much money.. Even for less then $1500. Pairing Value RAM with a GTX makes me sad
