hi
newbie (on p4/ddr ram/p4 chipsets) here trying to decide on what parts to get for a p4 upgrade to my current p3 800... and i was just wondering if i have decided on the right kind of ram to get..
i'm planning on getting
p4 1.8a
asus p4pe/L
corsair xms 2700C2 or 2700LL
i will probably run the cpu at default settings (p4 1.8a @ 18x100) and memory at 2-2-2-5 (best settings?) at first then slowly overclock the cpu and ram to achieve the best settings without adding too much cooling to my system
will the corsair xms 2700c2 run at 2-2-2-5 if i set the fsb to 133 so that the cpu is at 18x133?
i believe the memory will then run at 1.25 x 2 x 133 which is 333, and this is what the pc2700 ddr ram is designed for, right? so does that mean it will guarantee 2-2-2-5 at 133? if not, should i go for 2700LL or pc3200?
i think the highest fsb i'll use is probably 133, since the asus p4pe's top limit for memory is ddr333, so does that mean even if i set the fsb to higher than 133, the memory will be limited at 133/333 anyway?
thanks in advance!
