Isn't that the truth. One year and you feel ancient.

Lol ya really!

Sure you can't get a few more MHz out of that 2.0A?

My newest is an IT-7 also, I just neglected to notice that it was "legacy free". So, a couple days after I ordered it I was reading the manual I downloaded and discovered I needed a USB mouse and keyboard, then noticed the AGP slot was 1.5 volt only so I needed a GF4 Ti4200 , fortunately my printer had a USB connector...

with pc3200 and a 1.6A I ran it up to 2.8 GHz with the stock HSF, it ran the Ars benchmark wu in 2:48:10. Then I backed it down to 2.66 for stability during gaming.

The onboard sound was problematic in some games and DivX decoding until I went in and turned down the hardware acceleration for the sound card a couple notches.

well i got it to post at 2.66 it's just not stable. What are you BIOS settings? So far it's running good at 2.54ghz.

Smokeball: You must feel really ancient then


xxsk8er101xx: Congrats on the new machine. I hope it lasts you a while!

I'm running a DRAM Ratio of 1:1 and CAS Latency 2.5

At these outrageous FSB speeds the memory definitely becomes an issue, I just noticed I can reduce the memory speed below the FSB too , I think I'll go back and check that stability in games at 2.8, maybe it was a memory issue...

nope i tried that and it didn't work. SO i put it back to 127FSB and 3:4 memory timings. P4 loves bandwidth to so i don't think there would be a difference between the above and 2.66ghz at 133mhz (266) memory timings. at 170 (340) it's getting a decent amount of bandwidth. Gives you 2720MB/s bandwidth. Only 500 less than RDRAM. In benchmarks though it's only 200 points less than pc800 acording to sisoft 2002 SP1 though.

*shrugs* ... too my video card is bad! The memory chips run SUPER HOT on the card itself and it's not even overclocked.
