Need help!

OK, so the problem is that i see people scoring 10 seconds less in Super PI ( 1MB ) with the same specs as mine, when i score only 50 secs. I think that if I could increase the FSB from 166 to 200 it could reach the same time. But when i switch the FSB from 166 to 200 my pc crashes and/or windows doesnt load up and/or my startmenu hangs, or i get BSoDs.. I think that the problem is my ram, am i right?
My specs r:
AMD Athlon xp 2800+
Abit NF7-S v2.0
GeForce 6600 25MB
NO-Name RAM 512MB
no-name psu 480W

Cmon i need ur help ;/

your rig is pretty much out of date, what did you expect?

That could very well be the problem. You don't say what speed the RAM is... ie. PC2700. The guys getting 10 seconds faster than you aren't using value-ram, they use great/expensive RAM with the tightest timings. RAM latency has a big effect on Super Pi times, just as clock-speed does. Combine the two (overclock, and tighten timings), and you'll see your times drop off nicely too.
