My pcmark score is 3936 3321 993.


P4 1.7 ghz 100mhz fsb
512 megs pc(2100) ddr
maxtor 20gig 7200 rpm

I only have 2 settings on my mobo for changing my fsb, 100/133.

My p4 has a locked muliplier 100x17. Changing the multiplier in my bios does nothing.

I can change the frequency of my ram from 200 to 266.

Is there anything I can do besides getting a processor with a 133 fsb to fix my score? Other peeps with similar systems are getting over 1000 mem points better than me in pcmark.:(
 
You can get a 133fsb cpu but that's pretty expensive.
You can't run your 1.7 at 133 because they don't overclock that high.
So your pretty much stuck.

No matter what the motherboard is not going to be great for overclocking with limited fsb choices.

You probably could put a 1.8a northwood in it and if the board allows enough cpu voltage adjustment run it at 133mhz.
 
Thanks Placid, that's what I thought.:D

I'll probably use this system till my games won't run then build another. I may get another processor, but we'll see.
