samsung 3,3 or 2,8 on asus 9600xt??

Here is one suggestion:

This is how I did it with my ATI card just now to make sure it can work, pretending that I hadn't written down the numbers before I affixed heatsinks.

1. Using ATITool, I dumped the bios file which could then be found at C:\program files\atitool\bios.bin
2. Open the file with notepad. Ignore the garbage characters and look at the first couple of lines. Mine looks like this:

One way to ID your particular ram is to look at the bios date. 2/26/2004 indicates 2.8ns. 10/23/2003 indicates 3.3 ns. That info was gleaned from http://www.techpowerup.com/bios/
Then you can look at specific info on the previously referenced page to verify a match. As luck would have it there seems to be only those two choices for the Asus 128 MB 9600XT.

Then record all of the info and try not to lose it.

Hi there, I just bought a gecube radeon 9550 gu c3p video card and it has a heatsink all over memory chips. i understand that i have to look in bios but it look odd. This is what the bios starts with :

Can u tell what kind of memory is under the sink? I thank you in advance. ¬


Good question....

All I could find out is that it is probably Samsung 3.3 ns. That info is from a Ukranian forum that I had a professor of mine interpret.

thanks
