Its up and runnin at 1600 right now. Still testing stability tho. 139x11.5@2.05v This ddr ram is real finnicky... I was only able to get it up to 140 with all the fastest timings set. Got it to just over 150 with slower timings(which was slower than 140 at fast timings). So we'll see how this measly 1600 business works out.

Well, 1600 is no go. It would work for about 15-20mins at that speed then blue screen. I have it at 1576 right now(137x11.5@1.95v) seems to be pretty good. It did blue screen on me but it took like 4-5 hours to do so, and its hot in here(80+ room temp). Still, it beats the shiat outta my ol p3 933

Nice ! welcome to the DARK side !

Did you try just jacking the multiplier and leaving the RAM @ 133? Might want to try that. DDR ram gets pretty nice memory bandwidth #s even at 133FSB.

80+ room temps ant helpin' ya either. But I'm sure you know that.

Hey Greg, ya think that'll help? Ian @ 2CoolTek has it for $10.

Kakarot! Thanks for the "Blo-by-blo" man. I've been playing with the idea of upgrading my PIII. and going to AMD and that Epox 8K7A & 1.4ghz T-bird look like a nice place to start

Thanks

Ray
