Why did lowering my LDT freq. allow me 15 more mhz fsb?

[d3birth]

Soltek K8TPro
Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester CBBID 0504 with the stock hs/fan @ 2070mhz
2 x 256 pc-3200 One Corsair and One GeIL in dual channel
9800 Pro with an XT bios @ stock

Before, if I raised my fsb higher than 215 I couldn't get any further than maybe a few Spi 1m runs. This morning I remembered LDT and went and lowered it to 600 instead of 1000mhz and I can boot up at 230 and get 41s 1m Spi scores again. I can open ATi Tool's 3d thing not have my vpu crash.

I just wanna know what LDT is and how it affects fsb. :confused:

Thats due to the K8T800 not having locked AGP/PCI options. Also i find that ATi cards an't keep on a high AGP speed try droping to 4x AGP thats tends to help abit.

Oh, I thought Soltek fixed that agp/pci lock thing. I'll try the 4x agp thing.

They only did that with a new revision of the board like the ASUS A8V/A8V rev2

Hmm, maybe I should get my friend to purchase my board. I need to find out what revision it is.


Btw, 2.2ghz, 245 Htt, 200 mhz mem.
40s spi.
