help me squeeze a little extra

[bigjimmyauk]

well i've maxxed out FSB and multiplier i can't go any further than 2500Mhz the board won't allow it
just wondered if i could do anything with the ram a little as you'll see it's already slightly OC'ed i have no experience with ram and it's on auto
system is perfectly stable
super pi to 8M passed
8 hours of prime 95
highest temp i ever got was 61degrees

iirc this chip wasnt great for overclocking maybe an upgrade to the 5000 BE

i think a 500 mhz boost was pretty respectable IMO yes it could do more i know it could but i'm not buying a new board i just wanna tweak the ram but don't know where to start

im guessing DDR 1 ram isnt good for overclocking as well

probably just the way ur post came across sorry for any aggressiveness <<< can't spell today just been one of those days

i am getting a new system hopefully in feb but wanna pump this for all it's worth until then.

ok ive done a quick google

http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/memory/Crucial_PC3200_4.html

it appears that DDR 1 ram is not about increasing the clock speeds that much but tweaking the timings

i never really had a chance to overclock using ddr1 memory but i guess you could pump

some crazy volts through the system to see what you can achieve
