I think ive gone as far as i can go but anymore sugestions please.
As it is this forum that helped me reach these goals Thanx All

What RAM do you have? If it's PC3200 or good PC2700 you probably can make the RAM timings much more aggressive.

Very well done.

Ebuyer 512 Mb 2700

 

[spiritedandy]

I have 2700 (333) is that what is limiting me

Ebuyer memory @ebuyer.com its there own make its cheap

Maybe you try lowering your cas latency to 2.0. Also worth considering is upping your ddr voltage to 2.8, but not much higher. May give you a few mhz more of headroom for the ram. But thats a very nice overclock all around, and excellent 3dmark scores.

RAM could be limiting you. How much are you willing to spend on memory?

 

[nuttah]

weve got exactly the same rig lol except for the ram...
have you oced the video card?
which drivers are you using?
which mobo drivers are you using?

try more agressive memory timings (smthng like mine)
cant you increase your fsb more?
i can get the same results with you at lower fsb,i had to reduce the oc to get a higher bus and thus better 3dmark 2001 results

 

[spiritedandy]

Thanx Gautam i will try youre advise

Hey Nuttah you have but youre memory will be dual band er i think thats better er i think again..

Slow burn ive just ordered some Corsair 512Mb 3200 DDR 400 please say ive bought the right memory

This Corsair memory I've got (XMS2700) seems really really good, so I'd say you've definitely not bought a lemon! I dunno how much faster it'll let you go though, but it looks cool

 

[spiritedandy]

hi xsquared thanx ..yip think yr right... ill have to wait for my corsair memory to come thro the post and then might be able to raise the fsb a little

have to do what gautam said and raise the ddr voltage as well

Any more tips anyone!
