How are intel motherboards for overclocking?

[The_MaguS]

My comp deadline is coming up soon, and I don't see the Asus P4T533-C at Newegg anywhere, but they seem to have a plethora of Intel 850EMV-blablabla, with USB 2.0 and PC1066 support (well, it says so at newegg, anyways).

How are intel mobos for o'cing? I'm thinkin intel might try some sabotage for their MB cuz they don't want you overclocking it! =P

That's it for now. Maybe pc1066 isn't such a big deal considering it's not anywhere =P, at least not in 512MB modules. Anyone got a guesstimate for that?

Thanks.

Because standart are not finish, RDRAM market are not like DDR

cheap, cheap. Think cheap, and you'll always be cheap.AMD version of semi conducteur industrie

Samsung is selling PC1066 and calling it PC800, in there 4ns modules, which are sometimes designated "533MHz" (meaning PC1066) still called PC800 (could be do to licencing issues).
Intel boards will allow you to overclock by modifying the bus frequency detection pins. But I don't know right now which pin settings those are. And I am lead to believe their BIOS won't allow a 1:1 bus ratio at the 533 setting, although that may be a myth.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

So you can't use the BIOS for overclocking? Bleh, I guess these Asus boards have spoiled me. I mean, the Intel MOBOs DO have jumperless setup, right?

I was going to get the P4T533-C , but the reviews have been less than stellar compared to Intel's own 850E. And I dont know if Newegg is gonna carry the new Iwill board. =P

From the Samsung website, it implied that the new type of RDRAM was basically the same as previous PC800, except that it was now compatible with the 850E chipset, seeing how old PC800 modules are not.

And why do you think that is? The old PC800 IS compatable with the i850E at PC800 speed, but not at PC1066 speed. As PC1066 has not yet been anounced by Intel, well, you do the math, this new PC800 is actually intentionally mislabled PC1066.
Ever since Intel locked the multipliers you have not been able to overclock with their boards.
