I have overclocked my system to FSB=244 at Mem:CPU set to 4:5. This
overclocks the CPU, but, underclocks the ram. The system has been stable
for the last few months.
I have just got two 512MB sticks of PC3200 DDR. Replaced the two old sticks
of 256MB PC3200 with these. Now, the system is unstable at FSB=244. It is
only stable at FSB=238.
This suggested to me that the new DDR was limiting since that was the only
component that had been changed. So, I ran memtest, with the new DDR, at
FSB=215 with Mem:CPU = 1:1 and it ran fine for 7.5 hours with no errors.
Now, if the DDR is fine at 215, why should it limit at 244x4/5=195? What is
limiting?
Thanks,
