Amd Athlon 5200+ New to Oc'ing

[trents]

so in the memory tab i would want my dram frequency to be 400mhz not 800?
Like this?

Yes, 800. Need to see a pic of CPU-z tab "CPU" to take a look at the HT Link speed. Have you stress tested these new settings?

The fact that you have a 32-bit OS will only affect the amount of memory you can access. 32-bit OSes can only access a maximum of 4 gb of ram in theory and in reality can only use about 3 gb because of OS overhead, which means the OS sets aside some the ram for internal purposes so that its not available to run programs.

Sorry about the long time to respond. I did not have very much time to fiddle with ocing so i haven't been able to reply . So i stopped useing that OC program and started ocing through my bios. I used the same setting as before. Here is my cpu-z tab.



again sorry about he long delay on replying!

I should add to this, that this includes ALL memory hooked to the motherboard, including graphics card memory.
so if your using say... a GTX 285 with 1g ram on it, then you need to take that into account when adding up all memory.
so in theory, a good combination would be something like:
1g vid card @ 1g vRam + 2x2g and 2x512, of the same brand/type/spd and if your very lucky, batch.
this should allow dual channel mode across your slotted memory, if you put the 2x1g sticks in the A1/B1 slot and the 2x512 in the A2/B2 slots. (or whatever your motherboard designates for dual channel mode)
that said, it doesnt always work like that

(edit, just realized I should update my sig...)
