Thought of overclocking my Amd64 2800 today.This is what I achieved.





I dont think I can push the CPU more and the RAM is stuck at 167MHZ:no:
Havent touched the timings yet.
Any suggestions?:huh: :huh:

Keep CAS Latency 3 and then clock it.Will be much easier that way. @.3 on Hammer is good but see if you can go a bit more. ;)

@Darky-Even after loosening CAS Latency to 3, I can not go more.Prime95 torture test fails if I push the FSB to 265.I am worried about the memory.How do I get it closer to 200MHz:mad:
Or should I just look to tighten the timings now:huh:

Figured my motherboard does not support dual channel:mad:
Running 2GB @ DDR333 is better than 1GB @ DDR400 right:S

Socket 754 never supported Dual Channel.

Also with A64 ,CPU speed matters more than Memory speed.

Also capacity has nothing to do with performance of a ram at particular setting.

400 @ 3-3-3-8 is better than 450 @ 4-4-4-8 or something,get my point ?
