Hi,

My friend has a motherboard that supports upto 133Mhz. He has a Celeron that has a FSB speed of 66Mhz and a stick of RAM going at 133Mhz. What I would like to know if the RAM is going at 133Mhz or is it going at 66Mhz?

I have heard something about how the CPU synchronizes w/ the RAM speed.

The memory normally goes at the Front Side Bus speed which in your case is 66MHz. The memory would be able to run on the system even if you overclocked the FSB (and the CPU that sits on it) up to 133MHz. The problem for you is that the rest of the computer couldn't handle it.

You can however easily OC that system to a nice 75Mhz FSB and gain a 10% overall system speed inscrease. You prolly don't even have to increase any voltages so give it a try

thanks for the advice

but since it's not my computer I'll just leave it be. Also, I dont think he would want to OC it. I remember when he got it. That time I didnt know about the synchronization between the RAM and CPUs. If I had his system, I would try to OC it or get a Pentium.

dont some motherboards have a +33MHz setting for the memory?
think that would add some performance without risking anything
and how about setting ram to 2-2-2??? shouldnt be a problem either?

in Unreal theres an option in the mainmenu thats called "timedemo statistics", check it before you start a game

dunno how to use the timedemo in Quake 3... think u need a download for that :S

-your card=an m64 which means its not totally a 128bits graphics card (mine is )
-i o/c-ed it a bit aswell--> core 125@166/memory 150@187 (with TNTCLK, nice little program you might wanna try it)

btw is your card AGP or PCI? mine is PCI

you should be able to beat my pci card score easily lol, whats your 3dmark2000 score??
*oops... this lil fool should read other ppl posts better*...

only 1000??? you sure you are running 2000 and not 2001?

btw i just ran the test again and i even got a higher score then before :S... 2810... maybe it has got something to do with the "standard" settings in 3dmark for my 3d card (1024*768*16 16bits textures 16bit ZBuffer Triple Frame Buffer) ill run it at 32bits and see what the result is...

score went down to 2023, skipped a third test though (cpu test, because my screen wasnt in 16bit mode... duh) settings: (1024*768*32 32bits textures 24bit ZBuffer Triple Frame Buffer)

nope, just the standard HS + Fan on the chip itself and nothing on the memory chips... *wondering if blue orb + HS on mem chips would help reach higher speeds *
