Hey over there on the other side ;)
Yesterday it was time to update my 24/7 system from integrated GPU and 1.7GHZ Celi to
MSI 845 Pro 2 + GF 4 Ti 4800 Celeron 2 GHZ some OC (I hoped...)
First Intel-update since years ^^
But hell I have a couple of problems and finding information about overclocking this old board is simply a waste of time as I decided after spending 2 hours this night.
1. no PCI & AGP fix on this board? 105 FSB will crash on 3DM2000, 102 FSB is all I can get stable. PCI cards are network and creative sound - think they don't like frequency at all (SB denies working from 106 FSB on)
Anything I can do about it on this board???
2. RAM divider? Is it possible to clock FSB & RAM 1:1? This 4:3 for RAM suxx...should drive 100 FSB / 100 RAM but no luck at all...stixx go crazy from 145 MHZ on (some wild mixed PC133 but should do it for now)
3. 3DMark2000 result is crappiest ever o_O 2890 Points no matter what I do (newest Forceware driver, better to try an old one?) I installed all new chipset drivers, bios and so on via MSI LiveUpdate but it was 2890 before installing any new drivers, and it was this way afterwards. Even driver tweaking GPU doesn't give a damn about what I'm doing grrrr.
I have the feeling my windows is crap but anything else runs fine.
Anybody have a Celeron 2 GHZ + SDRAM Pi comparison for me? 1m takes a bit over 2 minutes here, what I think is normal.
Anybody has an idea what to try next? Will test stock settings and older drivers on the Ti today but then the last thing I can think of would be a windows re-install but I simply don't want it at the moment. This machine only has to run, 3D Performance isn't that nessecary but playing BF42 or other older games on this would be nice anyway (specially for small LAN sessions)
thanks for any help.
