Over clocking problems also BF2?

rockermonki · 16-June-05, 03:11 PM

I have a p4p800-vm mb and wondering if i can buy a cpu at 3.4ghz. The mb says it can only support up to 3.2ghz. Right now i have a p4 2.66@3.2ghz. I cant oc above 3.2ghz because it becomes unstable. Does it make a differance of which cpu u have when oc because myne is a northwood and my friends is a presscott. He can oc his to 3.6ghz and his original speeds are 2.66 like myne. He uses a asus utillity and i use clock gen, My mb does not have a oc utilily in the bios or does not support it. My friend has a p4p800. Also heat is not an issue because i have as5 and a $50 zalman. Also if i buy a 3.4ghz cpu will it work with my mb because my mb says only 3.2ghz.. One more thing i play the bf2 demo alot and it lags quite a bit. Is it my cpu my ram or gpu. I have one 1gb of ram and its generic. I have a 6600GT agp. and u knw a p4 2.6ghz

As long as its the same socket (478 probably) it will work. AS for overclocking, each chip is different. I've got a 2.8 thatll go to 4 if i let it, and my friends got one that wont make it to 3.0.

As for BF2, it lags for everyone, allthough I've been hearing that going from 1 to 2gb helps. Be sure to use the drivers that come with the demo to, that helps a lot as well.
