Nothing wrong with a little memory bandwidth, eh?

It has taken years for even intel DDR chipsets to dethrone the mighty 850E. But now, even AMD kicks the highest-overclocked RDRAM systems out the door:

nearly 4GB/s ... certainly not too much for our happy Athlon core eh? :p

Now we need to deal with that PLL IC built into the nforce2 southbridge, which limits our FSB to DDR500, tops.... :rolleyes:

Nice job, causticVapor. Which processor did you use (I'm pretty sure you have a Tbred-b).

Erm, it wasn't me, it was some French guy in the Xtremsystems forums.

250FSB on my board? I wish. Actually I don't want to fry my northbridge (have heard it can happen no matter what the cooling at above 1.9vdd)

I've heard 250FSB is possible at a lower VDD on the Epox 8RDA+, it simply requires rebooting with every single MHz increment above 220. Any thoughts that the NF7-S 1.2 is the only board that can do this should be paddled out of the mind.

To break 4GB/s and be competitive with canterwood and springdale mobos in 3dmark we'll need settings higher than 250 available.

Not that I'm part of that camp... At 1.85vdd my board has problems at 216FSB.. :p ... need to do some work....

Oh. Well, good luck to you on your quest for 250.
I wonder what the oc possiblities of the nforce3 board are gonna be.
