CPU OC + Ram speed increase

[General_Chris]

is this normal on stock clocks 2 ghz cpu my ram speed was 130 mhz and vista gaved a score of 3.3 and when i oced cpu to 2.66 ghz and did it again it sayed 4.1 with a ram speed of 180 MHz why does it become Higher DDR-400 ram

I'm not totally understanding ur question. The only answer I can think of is that the score improves with the oc the same way a 3dmark06 or superpi score would increase. It's a benchmarker.

The ddr400 should stock at 200mhz. If it's auto'd or set to ddr333, 166mhz, it gives u a bigger allowance to increase the fsb.

Can depend on ur ram ratio setting as to why it was at 130mhz.

yeah its at 266 now but when i increase it to 333 it wont boot why

 

[Rastalovich]

Is this in the A8N ? and how many sticks of what ?

ddr stands for double data rate

ddr 400 would run at 200mhz at stock

hmm when i did mine it came back at 5.9 but whe i oc'd it it stayed at 5.9 ;-)

Problem being, on the K8 type mobos, many of them only support ddr400 speeds for 2 or 3 slots, although they`ll allow full population @ limit to 266/333.

Also if we`re using say 3x ddr400 and 1x ddr266 or 1x ddr400 and 1x ddr266, the mobo will stick to the lowest speed dimm.

running all 2 of 512 mb running on 201.5 MHz now
