Newbie Help ---> i845E OC Assistance

[Cannibal_Corpse]

Hi all,
Would you kindly let me know the setting for OC'ing my Abit IT7-MAX2 MoBo (i845E Chipset) in itsSoft Menu III BIOS?

I know it does NOT officially support DDR 333, but I have purchased TWO sticks of 'Basic Mushkin' 512MB PC-2700 (DDR333) and although it works flawlessly, I know I can push it to fully utilize its potential.

Your insights and help are greatly appreciated.

Here are my newely built system:
Pentium®4 2.4B GHz
Abit IT7-MAX2
Mushkin DDR 2700 [1GB Total]
PNY GeForce4 Ti 4600
Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM HDDs (X2 - 160GB Total)
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
Antec Preformance Series 430W Case
Microsoft® Natural Multimedia KeyBoard
Microsoft® IntelliMouse® Optical 'Special Edition'
Plextor UltraPlex [Reader - SCSI] - PlexWriter [Writer - SCSI]
Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI Host Adapter
Toshiba DVD-ROM [IDE]
Microsoft® Windows XP® Professional OS

If your memory can handle a bit of an overclock, you could use the 3:4 ratio and get DDR354MHz out of it.

Hey, saw your post at SharkyForums.

Yeah, do what Crash said. You'll get quite a bit more perf in memory hungry apps.

Yuo could try going to 166MHz FSB and using Ultra RAM timings too. Give you 3GHz.
