I am running (when they are back from RMA) a set of TwinXMS DDR 500 DIMMs in an ASUS A8N5X. My CPU tops out at 233MHx, above that is not stable. The max multiplier I can run is 10X so with the memory set at 400MHZ in the BIOS( a 1:1 ratio) and the CPU clock at 233, I can get the RAM running at 233. There is a setting in my BIOS I have not seen referred to in any overclocking FAQ and I am wondering if this might be a way to increase the speed of my RAM, given that I am not even up to stock speeds much less any of the overclocking for which it is famous.
The setting is in the Manual RAM settings and it is called the Memory Clock Index Value. It is callibrated from 200MHz to 600MHz and the Auto setting is at 400 with the next step up being 433. All the guides I see for overclocking stop at 400 so I am not sure what will happen above that point.
Much thanks
