I know. Problem is not with the CPU or RAM. The motherboard doesn't support overclocking :(
Can't buy a new motherboard. Spent too much already on the system. Besides, for the things I do, this CPU is more than enough. 83% of the times the system is idle, and I play games as well.

ah yeah.. problem with that one is you cant downclock the mem with a divider... :(

so you can up the FSB and overclock the cpu.. :eek:
That's if the motherboard SUPPORTED any overclocking. :rolleyes:
Mine doesn't! So no point down clocking the timings.

So you can tighten ur timings? :lol:
You can't see a difference in performance just by lowering the timings. CAS Latency 5 means 5 clock cycles. 5 clock cycles of 800MHz = 4 clock cycles of 667MHz. Theoretically no difference in performance.

Yea. DG965RY.
Otherwise do you really think I would live in the world of stock clocks? :shocked:

ah... ok..

I didnt mean the timings machang.. the frequency... using the mem divider.. anyway it doesnt support in your mobo no... but anyway Intels should be the best mobo to go with a Intel chip..

Yea yea. It was a typing error. I intended to say downclocking the RAM :D

Anyway, for the Core 2 Duos, the synchronizing speed is when mem divider is 2. If I had a motherboard that supports overclocking, I could, without any problem, raised the FSB to 400MHz (i.e. 1600MHz quad pumped), because my DDR2-667 can do 800Mhz without loosening the timings or increasing the voltages.

Maybe when the P35 motherboards come out, P965 bases motherboards will become cheap. Then I can go for a new motherboard. But in SL, we can't predict anything. P965 based motherboards can disappear without any notice.

U cud hv bought a DS3 with ur LCD money ne.. :confused: y?
The usefulness of the monitor is massive compared to a high clock speed, which 85% of cycles maybe wasted because of idleness.

yeah... true...
u have a monster you can rev more than 3G with no problem.. so just a mobo will do the trick... :D

Yeah, but then comes another problem. Cooling. Stock cooler can handle 3GHz (because 2.93GHz CPU has the same cooler). But then the fan may rotate more and will become loud. Right now, this cooler is dead silent. 900RPM at normal, 2000RPM at 100% on both cores!!!

    This is an AXP 2000+, right?
    My 2600+ (stock speeds) could do it in 56s and when overclocked, it could do in 48s.
