nF4 Memory Advice (updated 14/11/06)

Recommended Posts

I have ordered the OCZ Gold GX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500 (PC 4000) Unbuffered System Memory Model OCZ5002048ELGEGXT-K.

My OCZ game x stream 600w came yesterday and I installed it last night.

It is working quite well so far and I am impressed with how quite it is compaired to the Ultra X-connect 2 and Antec TruePowerII 550w units.

I should get my new memory on Monday and then were off to the races! :drool:

whats your advice??

just remembering that my mobo is a LAnparty SLI-DR

The OCZ Gold GX XTC 2GB DDR 500 (PC 4000) are working fine and I am now testing for a good OC.

I have read the sticky's and got 265 x 11 = 2915MHz max reading for my AMD 4200+.

Now according to the post for MAX ram I defaulted at 250, but I know that this setup will not accecpt it. If I understand the directions, my goal is to get the ram as close to 250.

If I understand the calculations (I HATE MATH) I should use a divider to reduce the ram fsb.

A divider of 265=01/01 equals 265 and is too much.

A divider of 265=10/09 equals 238

A divider of 265=6/5 equals 220.8 and so forth.

So my question is the 238 the most I should go for (After testing that its stable)?

 

It's so nice to finally get to this stage and have working CPU and memory on this DFI board!
