Overclock Crucial PC2100 Memory

[jleboeuf]

Would i see a decent performance upgrade by o/c'ing my PC2100 CL=2.5 DDR ram on my MSI K7 Master to 150mhz? Liek 150 mhz w/ a multiplier of 9 or 9.5?

In games, FSB matters more than overall speed (to an extent of course). In overal windows surfing tasks, I doubt you could tell a difference.

First try setting the CAS latency to 2 in BIOS , this speeds things up a little bit. Then try to raise the FSB to 150Mhz (keeping the overall speed in mind) if you can you will see a nice improvement in memory bandwidth related applications and games

Windows will run faster with a higher FSB. So will all your programs.
