Hi there, Im a REAL Newbie to PC Building and System Modding. I have some questions for you guys if you have the time and patience.
Right now, Im running a
Athlon XP 2400 (266FSB, Default Speed)
GA-7VAX Mobo (not sure of revision, but I have access to 166FSB switch)
512 MB of Samsung PC3200 DDR RAM
Geforce 4 Ti 4200 w/128 DDR, AGP 8x
500W PS
Its air cooled, running around 28-30 C during use.
Any suggestions as to where I should begin?
I know I cant change the CPU multiplier in the GA-7VAX BIOS, but I notice I have free reign over the FSB b/w 133 and 200.
Some dumb questions.
If DDR400 is supposed to run at 400mhz, why does it always rate as 200mhz? Same goes for all RAM types. Is this just a redundancy in terminology, or its upper limit if you increase the FSB to 200mhz?
Whats the 1/5 divider?
Thank you all soo much for your time.
