To make a long story short, I just bought 2 x 1 gig sticks of memory to match with my X2 4200 processor. I currently have the processor overclocked to 2.8 Ghz. My problem is that Super PI, Memtest, etc fails unless I get the memory running at 200 Mhz.
The two sticks I had in before were 2 X 512 Mb sticks running with a 5:3 divider (255 FSB\215 memory) and everything was stable (Prime, Memtest, SuperPi, etc). To get the 2 gigs stable, I have to run 255 FSB\ 200 memory (a 3:2) divider. At this everything is stable, but the memory is rated for at stock a FSB of 250 (pc4000) so I would expect to at least keep the settings I had before. The volts on my memory is 2.7 and 1.45 for CPU.
If anyone has a similiar system, what am I doing wrong, or does the memory controller on the Athlon limit my overclock with 2 gigs of memory.
System Specs:
Athlon 64 X2 4200 Manchester Core (CPU-Z) ovrclkd @ 2.804 Ghz (255 x 11)
Corsair XMS PC400 (2 gigs) memory
Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard
ATI X800 Pro graphics card
300 gig Seagate hard drive (IDE)
