Hey all, im curious, can I run my P4 2.4Ghz C1 / 533 FSB chip on it together with 400Mhz dual channel DDR? Or do I have to stay limited to 333Mhz dual channel DDR?

The IC7 CANNOT run DDR400 with a 533mhz part
i may certaintly can. if you have a 533 part that will do 200 fsb.RacerX27 said:The IC7 CANNOT run DDR400 with a 533mhz part. There is NO 2:3 ratio available on the board. You can still run 3:4 ratio. But what fun is that the 845PE can do that just fine.

But who wants to run your mem at ddr400 when you can crank it way past that?

Please read slowly, 133mhz FSB CPU and 200mhz memory. This is not possible. Without a 2:3 ratio it cant be done. This is starting from stock settings.
true, you will need a true 800 chip for HT, but who said anything about that??RacerX27 said:But you wont have HT. The current HT 533mhz CPU is and only will be the 3.06. 23x200=4600mhz, I dont think this will happen. LOL.

I can only get 150FSB on my current cooling method on a 3.06 so a 2:3 memory ratio would make my day. DCDDR is not worth $180+ to me. And thats all I would get without updating my CPU.
Honestly I think we have been had by Intel on the 800mhz parts. This awesome memory bandwidth is not being used.
My system overclocked to 3460mhz and a 2.4 800 overclocked to 3480 have the same Sandra scores, all but the memory bandwidth. Ed's right, its megahertz that counts not memory bandwidth, I would never trade megahertz for memory bandwidth. Spoken like a man that cant afford to get a 800mhz CPU ATM. LOL.
again a 3.06 vs 2.4c is just too lame.
RacerX27 said:
Ya the 2.4c should kick a 3.06 around at the same Mhz. I would agree that its a lame compare.
What comparison would not be lame? Please share....
