I was very happy with the results. Been running with these settings for a while, ran the bench mark a few more times and always the same results.

Then one day I thought I would try getting a stick of PC133 128mb ram to see if it was my PC100 ram that was holding me back from overclocking more.

So I stuck in the PC133 128mb ram by itself and turned on the computer, it said " updateing .... (something forgot) " then booted up. And it wasn't the ram that was holding me back

So I put everything back together the way it use to be and ran the bench mark again. and got .......

I'm very upset because some how I lost my ram speed! And yes the settings are 100% what they use to be.

What I remeber is that it said " updating " when I put in the PC133 stick of ram, how can i refresh everything and get it back to my old speed!

I cleared the cmos but that didn't help any, all the settings are back the way they use to be and I have lower performance. HELP
 
One word....

UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!


For heavens sake man!

UPGRADE THAT ANCIENT THING!

WOW you would flip out with a DDR system and a cheap AMD XP chip.

Forget about the slow speed PC133 SDRAM..
