Hi all I've got this board with E2140 and 7800GTX and just bought 2x1GB sticks of crucial memory PC5300 / 667 DDR2 (CAS5) for 30 quid.
Just looking at my OC options. I was running for ages with my old mem at 2.2 Ghz and my DDR mem was about 200Mhz.
Now I have the new mem if I put the bus to 266, the PCIE is 100, and the mem is 333 the CPU then runs at 2.18 Ghz.
But if I increase the Bus to 290, which I am running now, my FSB is 1160, MY CPU is 2.33 Ghz, but my mem is back to 1:1 which means it's running at 290 instead of 333 and at Cas4 according to CPUID. and PCIE is at 109Mhz
So which in theory is better/fastest setting to use, higher mem speed or high bus speeds?
The only computational tasks I will do is Quake3, and transcoding divx etc to DVD (Mpeg2)
Thanks all.
