There have been a couple of posts lately about overclocking XP2500 or
XP2400 CPUs to use 200FSB but nothing quite answers my question.
I have a multiplier locked XP2500 running at default (166x11 =
1826Mhz) with PC2700 (DDR333) ram running at the 166Mhz setting in the
bios.
I don't want to buy any new components (no money at the moment) but i
have the opportunity to get a Asus A7N8X-X motherboard off a friend.
So here's my question.
Assuming my XP2500 will run stable at 200x11 (lets just assume that it
can), will i be able to use my PC2700 ram without overclocking it to
DDR400 speeds? The ram is cheap generic pc2700 so i doubt it will take
the overclocking.
I remember an old motherboard let me run my CPU at 133Mhz and i had
the choice of running the Ram at either 133 or 100. I'm hoping maybe
the Asus A7N8x-x will let me run the cpu at 200 while running the
memory at 166?
Any thoughts appreciated.
