You only put the memory up to 133, the cpu won't go much over 107~110

jeez, how many times?

What about a P4 with 512 megs of RDram?

What about a P4 with 512 megs of RDram?

your answer is NO

Cel 533 - 256mb sdram
15gb HD - ati radeon 32mb ddr (200/200)

Thanks wusy, and thanks jojo for the clarification. I changed the setting and ran benchmark in Sandra, results follow:

128mb PC133 Corsair cas 2

PCI x 3
Int ALU/RAM Bandwidth 389
Float FPU/RAM Bandwidth 420

PCI x 4
Int ALU/RAM Bandwidth 436
Float FPU/RAM Bandwidth 543

Seems fairly significant and everything is stable. What these numbers equal in the real world....i have no clue. Think ill run 3D Mark and see if anything changes, currently have a 7910 score.


Maybe ill play with the FSB later. Booted at 106 the other day without a problem, but set it back to 100 for now until im confident all is well with the CPU at 1000.

Thanks again.
