how would i set my RAMs default FSB to 166?
First things first go into your bios in the soft menu III and set
CPU Operating Speed to 2500+
then set
CPU FSB/DRAM ratio from "by spd" to 3/3, then go into advanced chipset features setup menu and try these timings:
memory timings = expert
row-active delay = 11 - 13 (try 11 first)
ras-to-cas delay = 2 or 3 (try 2 first)
row-precharge delay = 2 or 3 (try 2 first)
cas latency time = 2 or 2.5 (try 2 first)
and after you can boot into windows go back into your bios (soft menu III)
and set CPU Operating Speed = user define
once that is set then the 2 options below it will become available to change.
change
CPU Ext. CLK (CPU/DRAM) to 166 and change
Multiplier Factor to 12.5 this should put you close or right at the xp 2500+ operating speed. leave the multi at 12.5 and up the CPU Ext. CLK..
I'd try 170,then 175 and so on till its not stable or it wont boot into windows,
then up your cvoltage from default (1.6) to 1.65 then up the CLK speed some more and repeat.
hope this helps
