Nah, I do that on my Atari. Far superior for me.

The Geil 6400 (12-4-4-4/ 800Mhz @2.1 Volts works very well.

Papa Lazarou said:DDR2 is not quad data rate, as far as I know anyway. Otherwise logically, it would be called QDR. Check the Memory FAQ in the relevant section.
So DDR2-400 is really running at 200mhz (double pumped to 400).
DDR2-533 is really running at 266mhz (double pumped to 533).
Conroe FSB (as standard) is 266mhz (quad pumped to 1066mhz).
So to run a synchronious 1:1 ratio on a Conroe, the memory needs to be capable of running at 266mhz (or 533mhz DDR/2). The 965 chipset allows you to set dividers to run memory asyncroniously at a higher speed. Eg a 2:3 ratio would run the memory at 50% faster than the FSB, so this would be applicable for running DDR2-800 (really running at 400mhz remember). But it does not allow you to run dividers to run at a lower speed than 1:1 e.g running memory at 200mhz while running the FSB at 266mhz.
OC_A64 said:Above is correct. The 965 chipsets do not allow memory speed to be run lower than the FSB speed, there's certainly no option in the P5B at anyrate.
@ the guy who brought 3200 kingston is it DDR or DDR2 memory? From your post its a little unclear...
easyrider said:You are still on your opty 170?,
I sold mine for 240 quid while I could.My upgrade to conroe cost me about 100 quid by the time I sold my mobo and ram.
I'm not die hard to splash out £xxx.xx amount of money just to have the fastest possible machine.
I sold at the correct time and upgraded to a faster cpu,thats it.
Now if i had of left the upgrade longer, then I would have got diddly squat for my 170 combo and the upgrade to conroe would have cost me a lot more.
But TBH the description you mention "i.e "OMG My new Conroe absolutely DESTROYS my overclocked x2" etc is not far from the truth TBH.
As my conroe clocked to 3.8ghz really does eat my old opty 170 @ 2.8ghz for breakfast.![]()
This is not a made up and amplified behond reason.This is fact and from experience.
Unless AMD do something quick their cpu line up is already antiquated!

Roughneck said:dont understand though , you still sold your original setup at a loss right?
for instance if it cost u 500 pounds and you got 250 for it , you still lost 250 then plus what ever conroe setup cost you , say another 500
so in total it really cost 750 ?
you understand what I mean ?
UKTopGun said:I'm sure there was a compatibility thread saying the HZ doesnt work in DS3 boards hence the reason everybody was getting GeIL at the time when it was cheap?
HZ works in the DS4 I remember that though.
