Boot memory problems.

looks like the number is HY5DU128-CTP-043 not HY50U12822CPT-043,
(note CTP not CPT)
But that seems to come out as a 512 meg stick!!


But anyway I will get the one off ebay as I won't be able to get the exact
same part number I don't think.

 

get that one.

Seems it is D43 not 043!!


HY5DU12822CTP-D43

Anyway I wil just buy one of those listed or I will be here forever!!

 

all the codes are decoded here.

http://www.skhynix.com/products/support/partnumberdecoder.jsp

I find that stuff a bit confusing at the moment, but I guess I won't be able
to find the
exact same part number for sale?

but I am not too sure I see a lot with HYMD512646DP8J-D43


MIne is HY5DU12822CTP-D43 not the organisation code 8 mean x8 and 6 means
x16
does that matter? Mind you my number is on the chip not the module.

Then on mine it is followed by a 2 for 2 banks but the above one is 4 for 4
banks, I
am not sure what it means by banks, are we talking about the chip or the
module?

Confusing to me. As I say I am looking at the numbers on the chips and I
think the
numbers on ebay are from a sticker on the chip, there is no sticker on my
module.

I will see what you have to say before proceeding!! It's doing my head
in!!!

 

I also found an old post to add to the confusion, suggesting my existing 1
gig module
is high density, would that make sense and does it tie in with the part
number?

old post follows.

------------------------------

Bit of a long story so I will try to summarise.
PC came with 256m ram. DDR400 PC3200
I bought and exta gig and added into next slot to make 1.25 gig
All running well for many years.
Then upgraded to a X2 AMD 3800 processor.
I think I had reboot with that processor, anyway a month later
I got another gig of DDR400 PC3200

I had problems adding that, beeps etc.
However eventually I got running with the two 1 gig stick in the first two
(of 4) slots.
However I was getting reboots, about 1 every 4 hours on average (variable)

So I went to just the new 1 gig stick i slot 1.
That gave a reboot after 1.5 hours

So I tried just the old 1 gig stick in slot one - results -beeps!!!
I shifted it to slot 2 on a 'hunch' and it booted up correctly.

It has not rebbooted on that yet but I have only been running a couple of
hours
so not long enough to be conclusive.

Something I have noticed is that the first 1 gig stick I got appears to be
high
density, looking with the Everst utility (below) the module name 128M64K-40C
suggests it is arranged as high density.


However having said that it had been running fine along side what is a 256m
low
density module as a (rather badly) 'matched pair'

This is the Everest info for the old suspected high density stick.

------------ end of old post - enough confusion for today!!!

 

But this is sufficient for a gamble. 1GB. Low density. It's "Integral" brand,
same as the pcworld offering.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-GB-DDR-...erComponents_MemoryRAM_JN&hash=item3a789d6875

I wouldn't over-brain this. What you're trying to match, is rows/columns/banks/ranks.
And a 16 chip 1GB low density DIMM is what you already own, so you're looking
for another.

It doesn't have to be visually identical. It's highly unlikely that the same
die revision of chips is being used on the modules of today. The die revision
changes as they make improvements to the chips or process. So you really
can't get an identical DIMM, even if you tried.

There are some other memory types, where there would be more uncertainty. For
example, one Kingston SKU, they fill with two different possible DIMMs,
one which works for people and one which doesn't. That requires more
fretting.

But in your case, if you're going to deal with Ebay, the issue is
more "the seller lied to you" than "you picked the wrong product".
As long as that product lives up to its description, it is very likely
to match well enough to get the benefit from dual channel. And you
know you're looking for an unbuffered, non-ECC DIMM, low density, so you're
not likely to pick some server memory by accident (ECC, registered being
typical descriptive terms).

1024 MB (2 ranks)

That looks like low density to me.

And using your decoder PDF, look for the digit that selects
organization. If the chips are "x8" width, that's low density.

I tried decoding the number you provided in your other post,
and were you looking at the 256MB module at the time ? Make
sure you got a chip number off the 1GB module.

Paul

 

OK maybe I am thinking too much.

Anyway there are 16 chips giving 1 gig so each chip supplies 64meg one way
or another?
Anyway I am not sure I have low density, it might be high but I am confused.


I have 16 chips so each will give 4 bits. x 1024
Or could I have 2 lots of 8 bit chips x 512

ANd does it make a difference?

A quote says
"The low-density means 8bitS of the chips, the High-density means 4bits of
the chips."

But at the end of the day I can only buy what is there and it won't be the
number on my chips.

This is the Everest info for the old suspected high density stick.

Not sure if that helps but I will leave it for now I am in no hurry I need
to letthe info sink
in so I am happy before I buy.


I guess I might as well get this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYNIX-2GB...erComponents_MemoryRAM_JN&hash=item46062ad446


Only £20 for 2 gig although no part number, but if they do not work matched
I coud send them back.

I don't know I am going round in circles, not as if I am short of money
either.
YOu can actually see the part number on that HY51264CP8J-D43

EURIKA!!!

If you look at the actual chips on the image if you enlarge it it
says..........HY5D012822CTP-043
So that seems almost identical to then numbers on my chips but the serial
number
on the module is HYMD512646CP8J-D43 AA-A

So.....I think cears it all up.

I said in a previos post "but I am not too sure I see a lot with
HYMD512646DP8J-D43"

So that is it sorted, but you are right I was over braining it but it all
seems to be sorted now
I can either get the one you posted or seveal other with the module serial
number
HYMD512646DP8J-D43" I saw.

So only deciosn is whether to go for buy 1 or 2 gig,

Can I mix single and dual chanel woudl they revert to single channel with 3
gig?

Thanks once again!!

 

Yes they are x8

The photo they took here, is actually two front views. I couldn't figure
out why the little SPD chip wasn't present at first. And then it occurred
to me, they'd taken a picture of the front of the pair of modules, rather
than a front and a back view. Using the DDRMODULE.pdf document, to
decode this, it's a DDR400 3-3-3-8 module. And the "...CP8J", the 8
there says it's made with x8 chips.

*******

If you put 2x1GB on one channel and 1GB on the other channel, I
think that will run in virtual single channel mode. So will be
a little slower.

You can test these for yourself, and judge the impact. SuperPI
is an older program. It runs single threaded. It computes the
value of the math constant PI. The larger the number of digits,
the more memory it uses. If you select 1 million digits, I think
that takes 8 megabytes of memory. On processors with extremely
large caches, you want to select a larger number of digits,
so that the cache doesn't have an undue influence. The cache on
your processor, might be in the 1 megabyte neighborhood, so
consuming 8 megabytes of memory while the calculation is running
should be OK.

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/366/Super_PI_Mod_v1.5.html

You'd do a run with the 2x1GB installed in dual channel mode.

Then, install the third DIMM. And retest. Taking notes also,
in each case, what CPUZ shows for the BIOS response to the
two different configs. (I.e. Whether the Command Rate is
getting changed, and is different between the two configs.)

The computation time is in seconds. You compare the number
of seconds it took, with each config. If the results are
pretty close, you know you're not paying much of a penalty
by adding the third DIMM. If the results are radically different,
you pull the third DIMM, and run with 2x1GB.

Before using the new memory, don't forget to use the memtest86+
for at least one pass. You can try testing the new modules,
one module at a time. That's to remove the ambiguity, as to which
module is bad, if there are errors. Then, install two modules
together, and do another test. If all three test cases pass,
you're then ready for your first boot into dual channel mode
in Windows.

When you add the third module (your existing RAM),
you can try another memtest86+ run, before booting into Windows.
Again, just to be sure everything is stable.

If you have bad RAM, then boot Windows, there can be eventual
corruption of the registry files. And then, you'd better pray your
System Restore points are in good order (System Restore has
copies of the Registry). I advocate testing the memory,
to reduce the risk. Even with careful testing, at least
one poster had registry corruption, and that happens when
memtest86+ doesn't see a problem, but there is a problem
present never the less. The memory tester isn't the best,
which is why Prime95 (or one of the other burn-in programs),
is better at acceptance testing. You can run Prime95 from a
Linux LiveCD, and that's one way to avoid Windows corruption.

Thanks, I am think now of buying 3 gig which I can get for about £30
which will not break the bank. I will have to see what is available and
recheck the
serial number and all that now I am pretty confident I know what they all
mean.
Slight risk buying on ebay because you have to ask why they are selling and
if they
may be fauly as happened before.
Also might be better buying from someone who is mot a major seller as I
think
they are less likely so sell faulty stuff.
I think people can cheat the feedback system somewhat, last time when I
returned
my module he said it never arrived he claimed compensation form the post
office!!

 

Right I have bought this

===========

This is why everesy reported for my chip before
Memory Module Properties:
Module Name 128M64K-40C
Serial Number 040413C3h
Module Size 1024 MB (2 ranks, 4 banks)
Module Type Unbuffered
Memory Type DDR SDRAM
Memory Speed PC3200 (200 MHz)
Module Width 64 bit
Module Voltage SSTL 2.5
Error Detection Method None
Refresh Rate Reduced (7.8 us), Self-Refresh

I not the only difference is the voltage, but that shoud be OK I hope!

Anyhow it is cheap and I do not have to sign for it which is good because
normally that means they get returned to the depot because I am not in at
the time.
So I should be trying that in just over a weeks time!!
If it's OK I may get some more.

 

Ok just a further ramble on chip density/, I found this.
http://reviews.ebay.com/Myth-Low-Density-vs-High-Density-memory-modules?ugid=10000000001236178

=========
How to tell if your 1GB module is a low or high density module?
a.. All low density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each
side) using 64Mx8 device.
b.. All high density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each
side) using 128Mx4 device.
=========

Thre problem for me is that I see in the Everest (some hardware config prog)
report :128M64K-40C
and this confusingly has both 128 and 64 in the name, before I have looked
at the 128 and thought 'high density'!!
However I have over looked the 64 bit indicating low density, which I now
believe it is.

The first PDF here helped a bit showing the module number arranged as 64M X
8

 

Oh incidently I noticed later yesterdauy that my machine was running slow, I
discovered
one core seemed to be runnig at 100% but doing nothing, effectively putting
me on one core!!

A reboot cleared that, but I wonder what caused it?
Being a bit of a cynic I remembered I have visited Crucial Memory and use
there
tools to access my memoey requirements etc...it's a downloaded exercutable.

I actualy suspect that screwed my machine up!!
Would be quite convienient for them to cripple your machine so you think you
need
to buy lots of memory!!

I could be totally wrong on that but I thought I would mention it incase
other had
similar probs. I had that one core at 100% prob a few years ago, not sure
what fised it
or whether I had visited crucial memeory around that time (quite possible).

 

Killfile them and stop responding "to" or "about" them; now get everybody
do killfile them.

 

THe point is that you and I encourage the spammers/idiots by responding to them. If
no one responded/complained would they keep doing it?
