EPoX 8K7A, how high could u bring its FSB with standard Crucial PC2100?

[Insthink]

The subject pretty much says what Im asking for, but dont go and post a record score that no one else can attain =) im asking for a standard FSB that most people could reach with Crucial PC-2100 DDR

Download the 0711 bios-install it-then crank her up.With VERY relaxed mem timings some of the guys overhere in the uk are hitting near 200fsb.Realisticly though u should hit 166 at cas 2 with a small mem volt increase due to the 1\5 pci div.I run a 1.4 266fsb tbird @169*9.5 all rock stable using the rig 4 video capture and divX encoding and it hasn't crased yet.

It depends on your luck because my Crucial PC2100 craps out at just over 150 MHz.

Mine's slightly under 150, but I think I have other problems to work on.

I am running a 256mb Crucial stick at 8-8-8-2-6-2-2 at 160mhz, upped the ram voltage to +0.3.
Sandra mem scores - 742/969

With the new 1711 BIOS I'm trying to get mine to 167 Mhz so the 1/5 PCI divisor kicks in but the DDR doesn't seem to want to do it even at 2.8v with BIOS memory timings set to 'auto'. My system gets wierd at 2.9v so that's basically unusable.

Crucial is the limiting factor - "better" modules will go further. RAMsinks and greasy adhesive are a must for silly FSB memory clocking.
