Ok look at my signature for my pc specs. Here's the deal, I have an athlon Xp thouroughbred B, that handles 203x11 fine. My ram can't handle higher than 203 but I'm planning to replace it soon. To test how high my fsb my motherboard can handle I turned ram down do 50% and was able to run stable at an fsb around 220mhz. The thing was I turned the clock multiplier for cpu way down so 5x220, but when I set the clock multiplier to 10x220 the cpu either won't post or is unstable. Now why is that? My cpu can handle fine 2.2Ghz running prime95 for hours when fsb is 203mhz. Why can't my cpu handle 2.2Ghz when fsb is 220. Any ideas? Before I buy new ram I need to know what my fsb speed my motherbaord can handle so I can purchase the right speed. I'm bassically after running at higher fsb rates that my cpu and ram can handle. Thanks
