Abit IC7 and P4 2.6 800 FSB

[jpetter76]

I have an Abit IC7 motherboard and a P4 2.6ghz 800FSB processor. I have two sticks of 512 DDR400. What are my overclocking options? The IC7 only allows for 1:1, 5:4 and 3:2 ratios, so it would appear that my only options for changing the FSB would be 250mhz or 300 (which I would not do) if I want my memory to operate at 400. Would it be bad to run the memory and AGP, PCI at speeds OVER 400?

Your RAM might go a bit higher than "400", but it's hard to say HOW far. Your CPU should hit 250MHz bus, which is only 3250MHz clock! It might require up to 1.70v for a good clock speed. So I would go with the 5:4 ratio at least until you find the top for the CPU.
