let me first say this place has a plethora of info!! excellent site
newbie o/c and newbie p4
just bought this board from newegg and have a question about ram:
in the bios there are only 3 options for memory speed ddr266,333 & 400. there is also another option that lets you up the fsb of the chip only. now i have done this with my pc2100 ram just to see if it works. i tried running the 2.8 @ 2.9 and it worked perfectly even with pc2100 ram and the ram still showed up @ 133 with cpu-z. my question is do i need to just get pc3200 since it seems like the ram is locked at one of the 3 options? i am hoping to go atleast 3.0 with this chip after it is stable and gets "broken in"
thanks for the info
