I can't figure this out.. I have an AthlonXP 2100+ running with the XMS2700 memory. The 2100 is extremely hard to unlock so I'm only able to overclock with the fsb. The problem is: When I boost the fsb from the default 133 to 140 or 145, the RAM starts running in sync with the fsb; therefore dropping memory speed from default (166) to whatever my fsb is set on...this is dropping memory performance considerably (according to sis sandra mem bench)...Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do? btw, fsb won't go much past 145, and I have ratio's set to 5:2:1.
Thx
