Well my system consists of a New 2200+ Unlocked, a Epox 8k3a+ and a stick of Mushkin pc3000 that spans well over 200fsb, 221 to be exact but that is at 6x and slowest settings.
With my previous Unlocked 1900+ i can rn 183FSb cas 2 all turbo settings on this memory and a multiplier of 9.5x giving me 1740 mhz overall.
I have not installed this 2200 yet, as i am waiting on better cooling than my Alpha PAL 8045 will provide. But i know that Mushkin pc3000 can run faster then 183 cas2 all turbo and be stable. But for me it didnt..... I have been running this mem at 183fsb 2.7vdimm for 3 months, do I possiblly need to burn it in more at 3.2vimm and SiSandra Bench over night a few times? Or am I missing some wpcrsert/wpcredit settings that allow for better memory performance.
I have tried ram in slot 1 and slot 2, also have tried all BIOS but 2619 was most stable at highest FSB. Any amount of vdimm over 2.7 didnt seem to make a diff as Mushkin does not like high vdimm. I also have manually set to turbo timings insted of just selecting turbo.
In my previouse system my 8kha (kt266) was running at 165 fsb...the limit of the board. That made my AGP/PCI bus 82/41 and all my components were perfect
Now that i have a 1/5 divider, a 205 FSb setting gets me the same 82/41 AGP=PCI bus speeds, so i KNOW FOR A FACT my vid/nic/hdd will be just fine at those speeds. But it just will NOT run at those Bus speeds anymore.
Can i just get some over ideas on what else i might try, or you think id be better off with a KX7, ot the Abit IT7..I thought epox was best for overclockign.
