well, i tried the settings and all it did was boot at post in a loop (tried to catch what it said but it was something about "skipping the boot...(and that's all i got). Set Mult to 10x set FSB to 250 HTT to 4x bumped vcore up 1 notch only to 1.375 (from 1.35). Ram setting was...

Oh, i see. Maybe the 200mhz at post is just a generic reading then? Wouldn't it not be running dual channel then either though? Thank you, I'll try out your suggested OC. Would you call this more of a safe overclock btw? (just interested in seeing what's what, but I don't want to burn...

well, wait it is telling me what it's running at (and I see running at 200mhz at post as well). adding: Ok installed CPU-Z. Memory reads: type: DDR Channels: Dual size 4096 dram freq: 157.9mhz (2.5.3.3.6) FSB Dram: cpu/14 ras to cas: 2.5 clocks ra precharge: 3 clocks cycle...

using aida32 (not sure why, but it's small and simple so I use it ) it says ram spd reads (for all 4 sticks): PC3200 (200mhz) DDR SDRAM Highest Cas latency: 2.5 (5.0ns @ 200mhz)

No it's a "socket 939 nforce 3 250" chipset (sorry, i should have added that). Gigabyte GA-K8NS ultra-939 I had to be very deliberate back then in avoiding a nforce 4 chipset (because of my a/v hardware reqs, which are very picky...but, i do like them). Yes on 4 sticks (1gb ea), (not going...

Wow, you're kidding...how much for a new socket 939 X2 CPU? i guess i could sell it for something. (so much easier to just pick it up and move it to the extra system room though :) And so the Athlon II X4 630 will pop right in to the existing gigbyte (socket 939) mobo? i never knew that...

Oops, Must be DDR 1 I'll try some more searches, but really I'm not seeing any info that relates to my mobo/cpu setup really. Fair amount of info of water-cooled OCs, not so much for the stock HSF settings I can try. I admit I'm confused with the bios settings and which settings apply to...

So, I've been using this socket 939 X2 4400+ stock since I owned it and never looked into overclocking it. I'll be ordering a new X6 system soon thanks to help here (likely - no OCing that as well) and so this 4400+ sys will be avail for other things. Just very curious now that I've...

Ok, understood. I'm going with the X6. Well, I can utilize both cores of this 4400+ with Sony apps and Pro Tools 8 right now, so I assume it would be able to utilize all 6 cores of the X6. And thank you once again btw!

Ok, so I think I'm with ya on the Phenom II X6 2.8, it's only a little more $. But, just checking all this, since it's running 6 cores at 2.8, won't the quad running at 3.2ghz be somewhat close in performance in comparison with the A/V work I'm doing? or are those added 2 cores allowing for a...

Thank you for the fast reply! Well, i have to stay Win XP pro :( at the moment (looked into it and stupid Pro Tools MPowered 8.03 (which I have to use for some clients at times) won't fly right in Win7 in my scenario. Plus my preferred audio card preferred "driver version" will work only in...

Hi, I've been using an Athlon X2 4400+ for a while now (the system is still somewhat ok and I could keep using for a while, perfect for my hardware needs though and still running great, ... it's just time I think to upgrade get some faster processing, etc.). My hardware needs are quite specific...

oh thanks. I might be able to get by at stock vcore eh? I'd like to test just real quick. I was thinking if i did oc one day, i'd prob only go for a safe n sane oc (daw system here). Although, ya know...this thing is doing what I need as is, but it's always nice to gain a lil xtra. well...

Anybody?
