i think i have hit that wall with the RAM problem, it can take a couple of seconds to switch between firefox and itunes, that means there a problem with the RAM correct?

the only reason i belive this is because with 704mb of RAM avilable to the system it should switch fairly quickly espically if thats all i have open.

Unlikely it would be that sort of thing happening with the RAM, but it's possible. Usually, you'll just have a problem with it booting to Windows or freezing.

hummm i didnt know so i bought it back down to 2.30Ghz, theres another option but when i disable the auto clock control it hides it, something like Dram frequencie and gives the options of:

100mhz
133mhz
166mhz
by spd

i think it was that but to overclock i must disable this, its confusing its a phonix bios if anyone knows what im on about.

[rbscooby]

can anyone recommend a sutible overclock for me, from the infomation in this thread?

i want it to be stable but be as quick as the cheap ass ram will let me thanks in advance

[Carbon]

The only way to know is to keep pushing it until it's unstable and then back off.

[rbscooby]

ok, is there any software that will allow me to create a log of my performance so i can compare when it was not overclocked to being overclocked?

[Carbon]

3DMark'll do it, just run the CPU test.

[rbscooby]

ok so ive reached a point where it now reachs freezing it failed to boot at 2.7Ghz, did boot when CPU:DRAM ratio was changed to 1.33:1.00 but i felt it was slower, so its been taken down to 2.62Ghz, and the ratio put back to 1.00:1.00, i belived it failed to boot due to lack of volts but can find no where to change this, it has been taken down to 2.62Ghz becaus i know its not at its very limit here is some info.

also use this to show what i tryed to do was you geekbench to show what my cpu was like at each overclock: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench...rmance/62143/4

[Carbon]

Looks good. What voltage are you at now?

[rbscooby]

i have no idea, i cant find anywhere that will let me change that, is the voltage for the CPU refered to as the CPU core because everest is telling me 1.50V
