    30 Days with Vista @ [H]

    I think we're seeing a LOT of people who are not having, and have not had, any problems with Vista. Cases like this one seem to be a total fluke to me. I've been using Vista for two months, as a power user, with this system (http://misc.rwven.com/system.png) and I haven't encountered any...

    Some semi-basic questions about overclocking

    Anyone with some patience doesn't need such a guide. Now that I understand how this all works it's going to be easy to get the maximum out of my system.

    Some semi-basic questions about overclocking

    The more you talk, the less I think you actually get any of this. If your fsb:ram is 266:400 and you raise the FSB to 400, your ram speed is going to be bumped to 600... If you set it to 1:1, your ram will be back to 400mhz which will then MATCH your FSB... 266:400 is basically 1:1.5

    Some semi-basic questions about overclocking

    That's not all there is to it. If you raise the FSB, you raise the ram speed. Generally ram is less forgiving than CPUs are as far as overclocking goes. The ram will be a limiter in this equation. Right now the ram speed is at a 1:1.5 ratio with the fsb/cpu speed. I'm going to change...

    Some semi-basic questions about overclocking

    Thanks for the info :) I downloaded the manual for the mobo I'm getting and they have a REALLY slick clocking screen. You can adjust everything you want right on one page. Memory clock ratio, voltage, FSB speed, cpu voltage, and everything else important. MSI P965 Platinum manual page #59...

    Some semi-basic questions about overclocking

    Well, it CAN be that way today, but you're only going to get so far. When you change the FSB speed, lots of things change. If you don't take the rest into account, you're going to end up with a lower overclock and possibly a less stable system

    Question about overclocking and FSB vs Ram speed

    Yeah i looked around and that was the case. I'm trying to find out what ratios my mobo will support so I can plan on what I want to try it with when I get it.

    Question about overclocking and FSB vs Ram speed

    So, in a 5:4 relationship, would the ram be the 5 or the 4? I'm assuming the ram would be the 4... are there alternatives like a 4:5 or something? I'd prefer not to stretch the cpu all the way to 400mhz since I've only got a cooler that's moderately better than stock. I'm not up for...

    Some semi-basic questions about overclocking

    I kinda asked this in the overclocking forum, but I thought i'd repost it in here and be a bit clearer in my question: I've done some overclocking in the past but it's been a while, so I need a bit of a refresher. I'm building an E6300 Core 2 Duo system for overclocking/gaming. It'll have...

    Question about overclocking and FSB vs Ram speed

    OK, i think i get it. Thanks for your info. I'm getting some decent ram with the system. It's been used in a LOT of core2duo overclocking tests (Corsair XM2 DDR2 800). I'm gonna have to research a little more about the ratios and such. Edit: Questions- 1) So I may want to...

    Question about overclocking and FSB vs Ram speed

    I'm in the process of building myself a new gaming rig on newegg. ( Wishlist for those who have newegg accounts: https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.asp?ID=4304932 Any hardware not on there is something I already have...) I'm getting the Intel C2D E6300 because...

    Which Console Is The Noisiest?

    As a 360 owner....this really surprised me. Given the noise that it generates, especially with a game disc inserted, I'd figure that it would be at the top of the field in noise levels... Gears of War also is the noisiest game to play, by far, and yet it STILL scored lower...

    Xbox 360 Video Marketplace @ [H] Console

    They also seem to be adding new content constantly. Since I started posting in this thread a while back, they have added 20 movies as well as changed the selection out a lot. They've about tripled their TV Show selection as well. I just bought two episodes of space ghost coast to coast last...

    Xbox 360 Video Marketplace @ [H] Console

    Indeed. Their Blu-Ray and HD-DVD selection is quite limited, but I'm sure that will change over time. Is their online selection any better than the in-store one?
