Ok I am sorry to admit I have turned to the darkside

I went from a amd 1800+ that would get around 1.9g or so at 194fsb at best to.....

2.6c 800fsb HT p4 with 234FSB!! This is on the SAME ram!

I am sorry but I have to do everything in the world to 194 on a AN78x board!

As soon as I drop the cpu in a P4P800 board and set the bios... it went straight to 3.1g! I know it is the memory holding me back (Samsung pc320). I am going to pick up a stick of Kingston Hyper X pc3500... Besttry has it for $100.00

What do you think?

I think if you drop the memory ratio down to 5:4 you'll go higher. P-4 systems love the 5:4 ratio unlike AMD rigs.

Is is under manual overclock setting and then in memeory timing??

Cpu:Ram Ratio Should be listed right where you change FSB and that on the mobo.

Asus BIOS don't call it 3:2, 5:4, or 1:1 like Abit does, it's called 266, 320, and 400 (5:4=320).

Ok question...


If you run at 320...instead of 400, But you pump up your FSB... Is that going to run better... as to 400???

Here is an easy way to figure out your DDR speed if you're using 5:4 ratio... 5/4=0.8... so FSBX0.8X2=DDR speed. For example using the 2.6C and the 5:4 ratio, if you are running 250 FSB, then 250X0.8=200X2=DDR400. In other words if you are running 250 FSB with the 5:4 ratio, then your PC3200 is in spec.

setting it @ 400 locks it at 1:1. I have Hyper-x 3500 in my sys. best I can hit so far is 260 fsb 5:4 2-3-3-5 w/ mam & turbo enabled(yes enabled). Oddly mine won't boot @ those settings with mam & turbo disabled. Are you using 2 sticks of ram so dual channel is enabled?
