Hey pimps about a month ago i bought some xms pc4000 for the hell of it to see what i could do w/ it in my nf-7 oc'ed board. my settings are 3-3-3-2 right now and stable. just wonderin if anyone else has been expirimenting w/ this new ram too and what theyve been getting. i can overclock the hell out of my 2500 but i'm new to overclocking memory. as you may have read in my previous thread i oc'ed my 2500 to 2600mhz. how do i go along w/ high mhz on my ram? of all the places in the world i\d think my brother pimps could help me out ......

Well, there are 2 aproaches to find out the max memory speed.
The 1st way is to have the memory in synch with the cpu bus, like 400CPU/400Memory.
Most Abits out of the box will max out at about 420CPU/420Memory. Volt mods and a few tweeks might get you to 450+

The second method I tried the other day, Involves using dividers to Overclock the memory bus faster than the CPU bus, also known as Asynch.

I was able to get my memory (Geil PC4000) to 500MHZ for testing only, it will actually have worse benchmarks and performance Asynch.

Here are my settings from my thread 500MHZ ASynch

Final settings: 188x11with 3/4 divider= 501MHZ Memory 378MHZ CPU, the CPU interface Enabled.
Showed in Bios set up screen as 501mhz , It automaticaly calculates this and displays it.
CPU interface picks the optimal ratio when enabled somehow, boot screen shows 500 instead of 501
Memory 2.5,5,5,11@2.9v 1.8vcore, 1.7N.B chipset.

So if you want to find the memory max, you could try this method, or go buy an Intel

thanks alot man that helps i deffinentally will try. um about that intel word....nahhh
lol
R 64 all the way baby!!!
