My System:
AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton)+ @ 3200+
RAM 512mb PC 3200 @ DDR 400
128mb Radeon 9600 pro
Asus A7N8X-X Mobo
Now my Question: I am not really an overclocker but i have been snooping around in the bios and read a few articles in which they advise to let the RAM run with the same FSB as the CPU with nforce2 chipsets. The thing is my CPU has a FSB of 333 and my Ram are DDR 400 so obviously i want them to run with 200 Mhz.
I tried to let the Ram run at 200 Mhz but my system would get ram errors while gaming and crash.
But is it really worth raising the FSB of the CPU for the RAM? Will the CPU lifetime reduce drasticly? New CPU-Cooler? Multiplier?
