Ok
I#m running a 2,4c from malaysia week 21 here.
It goes up to 265 FSB with no problems at all. My Motherboard is an Abit IC7-G rock stable so far.

My only problem is my memory. I can only get over 245 FSB with the memory settings totally relaxed.

I'm currently running

2 X 256MB Geil PC3500 Ultra Dragon


I did like to run my memory at tight settings at an FSB of 265 with 4:5 ration or if possible 1:1

What would be the best memory to go with


Thx for your time

well with the exact same setup i am bvuilding for a frriend of mine,, but im going with mushkin lvl 2 2 512mb, garunted for 2-2-2,, hopefully ill get more stable...
 
No way you'll be able to run that PC3500 RAM at the 1:1 ratio above where you are already at. You need to drop down to the 5:4 ratio to go higher.

I haven't seen the memory that will run 265fsb in 1:1 at tight timngs yet. I think around 3-4-4-8 is typical for the ram types that can run this much clock speed. Maybe in six months.

As far as the ratio, if you change it you need 5:4 not 4:5. 4:5 runs the memory faster than the fsb, you need to run it slower than the fsb.
