I've found two issues with the new V2.10 from V2.01 with my P35 Chipset (GA-P35C-DS3R) and OCZ DDR3 memory.

1) Cas value shown incorrectly & text misaligned.

V2.01
8-8-8-26 which is correct...

V2.10
1- 8-8-26 note the spacing issue with the CAS value and the incorrect value

2) L1 & L2 Cache
Indicated throughput (MB/s) now much less in V2.10 (ie 10-20%)

I checked P35 with DDR2 and P45 with DDR3, but not P35 with DDR3.

BTW, I just looked at the code and something seems strange. Could you post a CPU-Z Dump (last tab) here ? It will help me a lot.

About cache throughput, the calculation is now much more accurate than older version.

I have attached the Cpu-z Register text file as requested.

I'm having the same problem with 2.10 with a Q9550 E0, MSI X48 Platinum, and OCZ PC12800 DDR3 ram. CAS was reported fine in 2.01.

Please tell me your config (P35 or P45 and DDR2 or DDR3) and if everything is reported correctly. If not, what's reported.

I can confirm that Memtest 2.11 beta 6 works OK on my GA-P35C-DS3R using 4GB of DDR3 ram and reports the Memory Timings correctly.

Took me awhile to reply, as I had to RMA my RAM. But it works fine with the beta version now in my setup. (Q9550 E0, MSI X48 Platinum, and OCZ PC12800 DDR3 ram)

With memstest 2.11 I still heave a problem that ddr2 memory is seen as ddr3 in a p35 motherboard.
It happens when I have a single stick of memory in slot 3 or 4 (channel 2).

I have tested it with 2 types of memory, 1 GB Crucial ballistx pc2 8500 and 2GB Kingston value ram pc2 5300.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 rev2.0.

This should be fixed in a newer version. I do not remember if I submitted the changes to DocTB, so I will have to check my code to make sure. By the way, DDR3 versus DDR2 was not documented by Intel in the manuals I have seen. The code changes needed are based on experience with this chipset series.
