5:2:1 ratio on KX7-333R

[Vaporizer]

Hi folks my first post here.

I have some problems i thought maybe some of you could answer.

First off the 5:2:1 ratio on my KX7-333R doesnt seems to work. If i set FSB to 166MHz and 5:2:1 ratio Sisoft sandra still reports a 42MHz PCI and 84MHz AGP speed :mad:
Maybe Sandra just sucks i dont know.... is there any other program to check PCI speeds?

Secondly when i reach 210MHz FSB i get all funny colored stripes on my screen from boot, could this be the Radeon 8500 not liking the high AGP speed?

I was gonna get some Xtreme DDR PC3200, but the Crucial PC2100 CL2.5 that i use now can go 210MHz@2.75V :eek:
You guys think it is worth it to go for the Xtreme PC3200 or is it just a waste since my Radeon seems to cramp up? (if it is the radeon)

if it wasnt at 5:2:1, it wouldnt boot at all

my advice, delete sandra and never install it again, its crap.

u got a crucial 2100 to 210 (at ANY voltage never mind 2.75)? what u done to it, stuck it in a vat of liquid nitrogen? :banana:

The funny looking and colored stripes are caused by the phenomena known as agp tearing. Every board is different as far as its tolerance level before that effect starts.

Vaporizer i just talked with tjcomputer and they told me that they will have the Xtreme PC3500 in around 2weeks

Try upping the I/O voltage to get your R8500 working perfectly on those FSB's

works on my KR7A with only a /4 divider at 218Fsb and R8500
