Hi there,
I have done a bit of over clocking in the past, and I'm just trying to squeeze the last bit of speed out of my current rig before a big upgrade next year.
I have an ASUS A78N Deluxe board with an AMD 2800+ chip, I also have a Radeon 6600pro graphics card, and 1 Gb of ram.
I have heard that you can get these chips to run quicker, is this possible? If so how do you do it and how much extra performance to you get?
Cooling is no problem, as I have a thermaltake tower heatsink and fan and loads of case cooling, thats keeping my chip at 29 deg and my board at 20.
I tried increasing the external chip freq to 200mhz, but I just get a memory failure on start up, is this just my RAM being old and slow? How much memory will my board take and which is the best to get, and if I get new ram will it be compatible if I upgrade?
Any thoughts appreciated
