I hope you won't loose to much power with memory in asynchronous mode.
Its mostly better to loose some MHz by CPU, but running memory synchron with FSB, especially on NF2 Boards

Well, I bought a cooling sink for my Viking ram so it should not be overheating anymore.
I also bought another 512mb RAM-Patriot ddr400 which already has a cooling sink on it.
And my psu is now LCpower 550W (the old one died).
I tryed getting past 194/39, that is 2200 mhz in core, but I couldn't do it because my system would freeze and crash with random blue screen errors. Raising vcore or dram voltage didn't help.
Then I put memory in asinchronous mode, on 266 mhz and set the cpu straight to 203/33 (2330mhz) and vcore of cpu to 1,8V and it's stable now.
If I go to 204/34 pc starts to freeze again, even if I set vcore to 1,85V which is max.
Well, anyway, 2330 is a very nice speed with this old processor and motherboard so I'm happy with it . After all it's an improvement from 2600+ to 3030+ XP points.
Well, here is a screenshot:

I see, then check out if its really to warm to give it a bit cool air, mustnt be strong, a silent 80 at 5V should be enough.
Or maybe your CPU is to warm when you raise the vcore?
or maybe it is necessary to raise ne chipset voltage and/or give the northbridge a better cooling

Oops sorry, I typed wrong, I set the RAM to 2,75V not 1,75.

dram voltage 1,75V is to less, this couldnt work
standard is 2,5V, I just want you to go to 2,65V
if you belive your RAM is to warm, put a small fan before it, blowing on the chips

I think the RAM is overheating. I set the vcore to 1,8V and dram voltage to 1,75V and the system was freezing all the time in windows. Then I set the dram voltage back to default and the system is stable again. So, I guess this is the limit, to go further I would need better ram .
About agp apperture size, I set it to 64 mb and games work a bit faster than on 128mb.

AGP Size?
Vista?
Vista???
Take as less as possible, your Viste need a lot of RAM
if you have enough RAM, I would guess round about the half of your grafic card will be enough.
Just check out with 3DMark, or your favourite game if you get more or less performence with a bigger or smaller AGP size

I only have Viking 512mb 400mhz ram installed, I threw the slow 256mb ram away. Fsb 200 is stable with 1,7V. I think it's processor, when I have it on 400 fsb it's very unstable and crashes fast, on 395 it's ok but still crashes now and then, on 390 it's ok and stable. I don't know about changing voltage on ram, it's very basic ram without any cooling unit on it, so I'm not sure about it's overclocking ability . Maybe I should raise my cpu vcore a bit, but I'm very uncomfortable with my motherboard having such huge steps, it only has 1,65 , 1,7 , 1,75 , 1,8 and so on, It would be better if I could change the steps by 0,25V lol.
I have another question if anyone knows. How much should I have the graphic apperture size in bios set to? I have it 128mb right now. Windows Vista takes 300mb of my ram, so 200 is left for games. My gfx is geforce 7600gs 256mb.

you have to check it out if its RAM or CPU
if FSB 200 is stable with 1,7V on CPU, you know its your CPU
if its still unstable its probably the RAM, but if you have only your DDR400 running, it should be not the problem, maybe 2,65V on RAM would help

Hey guys, long time no seen.
I have my barton now running at 2259 mhz and still very cool (probably because it's winter:lol:).
My fsb is now arround 395 mhz and it's quite close to RAM's 400mhz. The problem is, when I set the fsb over 400 mhz the system becomes very unstable and crashes when windows starts or even while loading windows. If the fsb is below 400 mhz, everything works perfect. So, I'm guessing I reached the limits of my RAM, and further overclocking is not possible? Or maybe I need to increase the voltage? I have 1,7V right now.
