Check out <A HREF="http://www.hp.ca/products/static/pavilion-desktops/a610n/index.php" target="_new">this </A>link for an HP Pavilion.
Anyone else notice that the XP3200+ runs at 400MHz but they are only using DDR333?
I called sales, asked what was happening? Were they underclocking the CPU or overclocking the RAM. He told me "Its spec'd that way so it must work OK."
"No, it won't. The only way it would work would be to overclock the RAM to DDR400 speeds, or to underclock the processor to 333FSB"
"Oh, then they must be overclocking the RAM then."
Nice, I just had a guy at HP sales tell me they overclock their RAM to make it meet FSB specs.
My guess is, he doesn't know what hes saying, and they actually underclock the CPU.
Intel P4 2.4B, MSI 645E Max-U Mobo, 1GB DDR333, ATI R9800PRO 128MB, TT PurePower 420W, SB Live 5.1, Samsung 120GB, Maxtor 120GB, LG DVD+-R/RW, WIN2K PRO SP4
