davenjai Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 If I run 250 to 260 FSB What would be the point of 550 ram? Going off of your website overclock recm. of 4400/550. 260 is hard to hold I'm stable all day and night @ 250. Would not 500 be dead on. Does buying the 550 and decreasing the timings make that much of a diff.? Or can I even drop the timings on the 550? Bios issues beside. Strictly just the rams capability.

Gorganzola Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 It is hard to say if it would really make much of a difference but the first thing to find out is if the CPU is what is holding you to 250MHz FSB or if it is the memory. If you are running the CPU and memory 1:1 try setting a divider to run the memory slower, thus putting the pressure on the CPU to max out the FSB. If the CPU can't handle the 260MHz FSB then stick with what you got, otherwise, consider upgrading. Also not that nVidia PCI Express video cards will hold back an OC compared to ATI cards due to the bridge that nVidia uses to convert their AGP cards to PCI Express. This will likely no longer be an issue once nVidia ships their cards with a native PCI Express design. If I run 250 to 260 FSB What would be the point of 550 ram?
