In response to lwj81, I am using 2 x crucial PC2100 256MB cl 2.5, they're running at 160 MHz (same as FSB) the timings are 5, 2, 2, cas2 on my A7N8X mobo. I've just noticed that when I increase the RAM voltage to 1.7 from 1.6 it's made it more stable.
alpha_03 I know my attitude might have been bad, but I think Grub understood my post. I just felt you were telling me the most basic things ever. I think you also misunderstood my post because you say you want the address of the guy with a 600MHz overclock well I was referring to myself. Anyway no hard feelings and I apologise if I upset you.
Stock speed for 1700+ 1460 MHz, my speed is 2004 MHz, ok so about 550 MHz overclock. Check this out: http://www.cpudatabase.com/CPUdb/ select CPU type T-Bred 1700 and press the 'Get the goods' button. You will see what amazing speeds have been reached with this chip considering default speed is 1.46 GHz. I went to a couple of shops and asked to see the serial number on the chip when I was sure it was a T-Bred b I bought it.
phsstpok, thanks for the explanation, even though don't know what you mean, what I need is a walkthrough with diagrams coz I don't even know where the L3 bridges are! You were saying about whether my machine would POST at 1733, my machine POSTS at higher speeds but of course that's with the FSP overclocked on 12.5 multiplier, but whether it would post on 15 mult (x 133) not sure, I guess the 15 mult would probably requirer a higher voltage.
Do you think there could be a bios update that would allow us to use the higher multipliers without unlocking the CPU?
Thanks all.
