Running Athlon 1600+ at 200FSB?

[joepa99]

I just flashed the new Epox 8RDA+ BIOS which gives the option for running at 200 FSB. Will my unlocked XP 1600+ with AGOIA stepping be able to run at 10.5x200?

I am running a Volcano 9 on the CPU and have 2X256 Samsung PC2700 RAM.

Thanks!

I seriously doubt it because of 10.5x200MHz is pushing even a T-bred/B core, let alone a AGOIA Pally, and Samsung ram, though great for PC2700, is usually lacking above 190MHz even at lax timmings.

Try a 9x200MHz multiplier and 1.8volts core, with your ram set at 2.5-3-3-7 and 2.77volts you might make it.

i highly doubt it either at 10.5x200.. mine AROIA is running at 8.5x200, wont do much more then that. you may be able to run 9, maybe 9.5.
guess the only way is to try it out, its a crap shoot sometimes.

odds are no
you never nkow though
try with a REALLY low mult, liek 4 or 5 and raise it by .5 each jump

I seriously doubt it (10.5X200 on an AGOIA). That's higher than most Tbred B 1700+ chips get. Or to put it another way, no, this will not be possible. 8.5*200 might not even work for you stably since there is a good chance your memory won't run 200 FSB (unless it's the really good -CC0 stepping and not the crappy CD0 stepping (like mine ).
