Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this.

Which is the better setup?

2004Mhz at 200FSB x 10 with memory timings at 2.5-3-3-7

or

2172Mhz at 166FSB x 13 with memory timings at 2.5-3-2-6
 
Right now, I'm running:

2304Mhz at 200FSB x 11.5 with memory at 2.5-3-3-7. I can't get any better without messing with the voltage. I have a crappy generic PSU so I don't want to do that. I have an AMD 2700XP and Kingston Value Ram. I had the RAM running better but couldn't get the FSB up and stay stable. The processor is stock at 2172Mhz at 166FSB and the ram is PC3200.
 
Prime95 shows no errors now at 200FSB x 11.0

It started showing errors at 15 minutes at 200FSB x 11.5.

Still, going from 2172Mhz at 166FSB to 2204Mhz at 200FSB with no voltage change is an upgrade I can live with. I can't wait for my Sparkle 550w PSU gets here. Then I might, ( with the kingston valueRAM mind you ) be able to get some serious numbers.


Anyone know how to tell what chip I have on this RAM?
