dont laugh but my motherboard sucks ass.
its a foxconn k8s755a the motherboard only support single channel memory and has no voltage adjustments

its a socket 754 i need to squeeze more juice out of it.

it originally was a 2.2ghz and i overclocked it to 2.25ghz (hahahaha)

my multiplier x11 and i raised the cpu freqency to 205

so 205x11=2255

i could raise it higher but sometimes my computer freezes in the middle of browsing the web. im wondering if its a memory issue

CPU-Z reads me memory to be

MEMORY = kingston [DDR333 bh-5] 2x512mb
Frequency = 204.9mhz
FSB:DRAM: CPU/11
CAS: 2.5
RAS - CAS: 4
RAS 2
TRAS 8
TRC 12
Command Rate 2T
DRAM Idle Timer 16clocks

how do i mess with the ram? can someone tell me what value to change it too if i raise my frequency on the CPU higher? the motherboard's value goes up to 232mhz but as soon as I hit about 219mhz it doesnt boot.

shiit i would love to squeeze the whole 232x11 out. that would put me at 2.5ghz hell yeah. haha

umm... get something better? with no voltage control theres not much to do.

read what those memory settings actualy do before you just go about changing numbers. (yes the guide is about NF4 and is outdated but the memory definitions and functions are the same and are very well written)

aww c'mon! theres gotta be something.

what would it take for me to get my system to run at 2.5ghz i think it can be my ram. but i dont know whether to change the values up or down.
 
il say again, with no voltage contol there isnt a heck of alot you can do, but i suppose if you think it hard enough it might just become true. and i just gave you all the information you need to decide weather or not to move them up or down. i cant do all your homework for you.

of course your not. thats why im on here doing my own search. remember the first time you started to learn. you had to ask a bunch of questions too .

if i raise my memory clock speeds up what do i do with the timings? do i bring them down? or if i raise the timings do i bring my memory clock down?

if i raise my cpu clock to 219 and it locks up during use then my question is how does this effect the memory? am i locking up because of voltage issues due to a 200mhz overclock (which doesnt seem much) or is it because the cpu is getting to fast for the ram?

anyway if someone is willing to help i would appreciate it greatly.
