I changed my memory... from pc3200 to pc2700 both kingston brand
with the pc3200 I ran: 12x233 giving me 2808mhz
ram set at 233mhz (1:1)
I tried to increase voltage, changed the ratios to 3:2 & 5:4, and there was know way it wanted to go higher....
I read this: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NDcx Which says:
With the 5:4 DDRRam MHz ratio, you can run full DDR400 in the dual channels supplied by the Canterwood chipset. If you don’t have the Ram to reach these speeds, the ABIT board also has a 3:2 ratio that you can pick in the BIOS. This would effectively give you a DCDDR333 memory bus, so PC2700 would do the trick.
So I thought what the heck... I'll try it.
and now I'm running this:
12x250 giving me 3000mhz
ram set to 333mhz (3:2)
Now the 62 dollar question, WHY?
