    Why won't my overclock work? Makes no sense to me...

    I agree with you about the Power supply, everything I've read supports that it should be more than enough! I'll have to see what ASUS's EFI auto settings are for their normal overclock. I was under the impression that they weren't even that aggressive though. But I understand that will be...

    Why won't my overclock work? Makes no sense to me...

    I have to be missing something, and I cannot figure out why my *very basic* overclock will not work... I've been building systems for almost 10 years now and just upgraded to a Sandy Bridge processor. For some reason, when my system loads, it continues to restart until the defaults are FORCED...

    Memory Timing Question? Latency?

    I'm tempted to just leave things alone now b/c everything's stable at 5-5-5-18, especially because I don't have to play with any of the voltages. Would it have any perceivable benefit to lower the 18 to 15 ??? Is Vista planning an upgrade at any point to allow utilization of more than...

    Memory Timing Question? Latency?

    Didn't work out well... I was moving along at 4-4-4-12 for about 5 minutes and then I started multi-tasking. My cpu blue-screened and started over, and then wouldn't start up. I had to clear my CMOS and put them back to 5-5-5-18 defaults. Interesting though because apparantly my RAM has...

    Memory Timing Question? Latency?

    Just popped in my other 2 Crucial Ballistix DRR2 PC-3200 sticks of RAM --- now 4GB total, all currently running at 5-5-5-18 even though they're specs report they can be run up to 4-4-4-12. Last night, I had already changed my overclocked settings to 8 x 400Mhz = 3200Mhz. Everything's...

    Memory Timing Question? Latency?

    Awesome. I'm having fun already - I'll post back tonight after I start the adventure!

    Memory Timing Question? Latency?

    >>>Note that with a 1:1 (memory running at 2 x FSB = 800MHz) you memory is running right at its rated speed and that is faster than your current settings and would provide more memory bandwidth/transfer speed. Sweet. This makes sense to me and I just did it without a hitch. RAM...

    Memory Timing Question? Latency?

    I am relatively new to the overclocking scene (not new to the build-my-own-cpu scene). I'm now addicted to getting the most outta my rig. I've been able to find the answers to almost all of my questions on overclocking w/ the exception of Memory and timings/latencies. I have 4GB (4x1GB)...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    I've done a lot of research over the past couple weeks, and the M6805 seems like the perfect answer to power, size, battery life, and cost. I have a few questions before I purchase one... 1. Factory standard says "512MB RAM". How is it split up between bays? From posts, it seems like...
