Ok heres the specs(this rig was built solely to play Battlefield2)
athlon3000
chaintech/vfn4ultra
1gig pny optima ram pc3200 ddr400 2@512
msi gforce6600/128 mg
550 antec true power
Aspire xcruiser case
Ok heres what I did to overclock
went into bios set FSB to 211 up from 200mhz and bumped the cpu voltage from 3.5 to 3.55, also on the vid card software overclock to captain settings(sorry don,t know specs) at post said cpu was 1.9 up from 1.8 ghz and said the memory was 422 up from 400mhz. Now this settup played sweet on BF2 for a solid 3 weeks no problems all high settings in the game, then some problems started popping up(lag and "problems with your connection"), set vid card back to normal, still same deal, downloaded GameXP problems went away, then CTD so I put everything back to stock and everything is running good(Im, even able to still play BF2 in high settings)
My question is did I miss something when I went to overclock?
Such as setting the timings for the ram?
I seen something in the stickies about the ram but I really didn,t quite understand it.
So if I do my setting like I had above how should I do the ram?
Any Ideas would be appreciated
