When using low latency memory (i have crucial ballistix DDR 500) - underclocking the memory can cause stability issues.
All tests are with a x10 CPU multi
The system was was fine at a cpu speed of 2200 and a 9/10 memory divider
(mem 200, FSB 200, x10 multi)
Was also fine at 2400 and...
An idiot's impression.
Loads of us novices are very interested in Nforce 4 - because the long awaited PCI express meets AMD 64. It's got about a year's lifespan as the best gaming mobo\processor out there, untill AMD bring out socket M2 this time next year (or if Intel do something...
I'm probably going for a asus SLI motherboard, but this mobo won't run the memory bus that fast; so I understand.
There is minimal price difference between PC 3200 and PC 4000 memory right now - are there anyproblems underclocking a pc4000 memory module.
I'm a big Unreal Tournament fan, a game that really pushes both CPU and memory - and will throw a GPF if things aren't set up right.
What sort of processor speeds could a novice expect to get to run at 100% stability, out of a recent batch socket 939 AMD 64 3000 and 3200?
It'll be...
