    I got an E6300 is it worth the upgrade to E6600?

    Core 2 Duo is all about overclockability !! And the best thing is it's easy to do !! Not like the old days when it was a mystical operation that relied on tea-leaf reading and animal sacrifices...... OVERCLOCKING RULES !!!

    RAM question

    OK so I know that the tighter RAM timings you use the better (or is that a huge generalisation ?) but heres a couple of questions : 1) my Corsair RAM (in Sig) is rated at 5-5-5-15 at 400MHz and obviously as I'm running below that I can tighten them up..... currently I have them at...

    *** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

    thanks i'll try that again later.......... anyway I've gone back to 341 FSB and it's running Orthos with no errors.... been over 1 hour now..... once i've established how far I can go stable FSB wise, should I then tighten the RAM timings to improve performance ?

    *** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

    OK I 'll do that So am I correct in saying that I copy memtest to a floppy and run without windows ? Also : Do you think I am being unrealistic expecting 3.5GHz (which I'm at now but with Orthos errors) stable on air cooling ?

I would then do a search for...

    Is my AGP locked ?

    Well spotted : "An extremely useful feature with the fickleness of the AGP bus is the Async AGP/PCI CLK setting. This allows users to lock in a bus speed and will help maintain system stability during overclocks." Thanks
