Good test for ram overclocking

[Killrose]

I have (3) sticks of PC100 64mb and wanted to see how high they could go. I ran a QIII loop for about 3 1/2 hours with them running 133MHz @cas3-3-3 ( I didn't bother going any more radical) and it was still running fine when I shut down.

Was this an OK test, or is there something just as stressfull with error checking, ect.?

I hate to get rid of them because I love to look at 196mb of ram which once upon a time cost me $225 total.

just buy new ram....lol....get over it...case 2 will run so much faster...and the new ram will prolly reach an fsb of 150 or more

Actually the ram in my machine does 150MHz cas2-2-2. This is the stuff I keep in my junk drawer.

I remember with Prime95, it's supposed to be run 24 hrs to get a true estimate for stability. You can try that because I think it can determine ram problems too. Or http://www.teresaudio.com/memtest86/

Seti@home is very stressfull on your frontside bus and memory. It will bring your system to it's knees if it isn't stable.

also we have a team if your interested. If you have any questions just drop by the distributed computing forum.
