I bought a stick of OCZ PC3500 DDR.
My system specs are:
Tbird 1.0 AYHJA Y(will do up to 1.5ghz)
KX7-333
Radeon 8500le 128mb vmodded
Cmedia 8738 6-channel
Asound NIC
15gb 7200 rpm HDD(forget what brand..)

Problem:
I cannot get this mem to 216fsb!! It is OCZ Performance PC3500
I am feeding it 2.91v(max), SPD timings, everything else was set to slowest. At 2.6v,no boot. At 2.91v it will boot, but hangs after detecting mem. There seems to be a wall at 211, that is the highest it will go.(VERY slow timings) The funny thing is, I can run it at 206 CAS 2,2-6-2,2T command,dram access 2T just fine.

Help!!!!!!!!!

Your CPU is the limiting factor. I would not blame the memory when it is generally acknowledged the majority of Tbirds dont scale to high FSB speeds.

With my old KingmaxPc3200, it would do 210fsb. I run it at 7*206 Cas 2 right now. I'll try an XP1700tbred a(my dads)
