......if I changed the fsb to 175 and my multiplier to 12 would this be ok for a 512 stick of mushkin 2700 ram.....I would have a 1:1 ratio so my ram would also be runnen at 175..I thnk...I am still kinda new....also if I do this would my ram get damaged?
thanks for the reasponse!

It will probably work as Mushkin RAM is known to run out of spec pretty well. And you only face physical damage if you raise your vdimm over 2.8

I have two sticks of that mushkin basic pc2700 on an epox8rda+ running at 181 fsb and a 12 multi. No trouble at all with it, might even go higher. Won't boot at 190fsb, but then again, I'm running lower timings instead of the upping the almighty fsb

It depends on your system. For some people, tighter timings are more beneficial than a few MHz. The only way to tell is try it one way, bench it, then try it the other way and bench it.

I would try changing them one at a time so if it doesn't post, or crashes in windows, you will know exactly what you just changed and can change it back and try changing the next setting.

i have a single stick of mushkin pc2700 , 256mb, and i need more ram, but it's tough to find ram that runs out of specs like this does. i can run it at cas2, up to 192fsb, ans everything aggressive, except command which i set to 2T, instead of 1T.

i have had this ram to 205fsb, at cas2.5, and relaxed timings.

i believe that running at cas2, 192fsb, is more stable and smoother than running at cas 2.5, @ 200fsb.

either way, this ram rocks for pc2700. i have also tried vdimm's to 3 vdimm, and i get nothing better than setting it to 2.85 vdimm.
