Overclocking help...

[Staz]

I have a A64 3000+ Winchester CPU running on an Epox Nforce3 mobo (had to, still AGP), with 4x512MB of Hyper-X memory(2GB total). I was able to bring my FSB to 250 with a HTT of 4x. My memory is running at a base of 166MHz, and with this overclock, that's 208MHz. The systems defaults it to 2-3-2-7 2T. My problem is that I can't get this memory to work at 1T. Even if I set the memory to 100MHz base with 2.8V, it still wont boot. It runs fine at the current overclock, but any attempt to run it at 1T instead of 2T causes the system to be unbootable. Any thoughts?

I think that's just because of the memory controller on the Winchester chip. If there are 4 sticks, it automatically sets the Command Rate to 2T.

I have the same problem. You have to run 2t with 4 dimms. But all that extra ram should compensate for the slow down by far.

It's because of the winchester memory controller.

well it's probably not necessary to even use a 166 divider

the Winnie's mem controller will knock it down to DDR333 anyway when running 4 sticks

None of the AMD processors will run 4 double sided sticks at 1T. Not winchester, not venice, not san diego, or not even X2. They will all force 2T
