    Nothing changed. 275/300. Even lowered the CPU clock speed. Just installed the latest drivers... wala! 12059.

    ED - w00t w00t! GP! I have you beat by 25 3dmarks with a much lower clocked 4200 and air!

    Just shows how much 3dmark likes memory bandwidth.. you really need to raise your FSB , man. I mean, my board doesn't even have dividers for 333FSB, yours does... the MSI KT3 ultra2 I take it? Hint: With CL2.5 PC2100, you need to raise the voltage to 3.0 and increase DCLK0 and 1 from AUTO to 0.5 or 1.0, whatever gives you stability. It does give you more bandwidth than 266MHz with tight timings. Lower burst length from 8 to 4, and if necessary elevate RAS precharge and RAS-to-CMD.

    Managed a bit more out of it.

    CPU now up to 1.95, card up to 285/621.

    ED - vram speed corrected.

    so the 42.10 is faster eh?.... may have t have a go with them myself... see if i can get closer to 12K...

    After endless re-tuning and configuration, with 3dmark crashing to the desktop, I was finally able to reach a stable combination: 169FSB, with the mem @ 338 and 3.1v. Although the CPU is clocked lower (1.94), elevating the multiplier by 0.5 would push it above 1.97, the highest speed at which it is stable at. The card is clocked with all bus settings (AGP4x, fast writes, 1WS R/W) and 285/621.

    Yes, GRentarc, apparently the new drivers are faster... even though I don't have DX9 installed yet.

    At least they're 2000 points faster than the old 35.x's I had installed before






    ED BTW --- what voltage are you putting into your DIMMs? (If your mobo has the options) I hear they're rated for PC166, so who knows, perhaps if you pump them up you could go to 170 or even 175 with a few timings relaxed here and there... hell the GF4 can take 85MHz bus speeds and more with ease!

    I think upgrading myself to win2k will probably help more. According to beeblequix, there's a 400 point difference betweeen 2k/xp and win9x.

    My ram is holding me back from getting over 144/145 ish on the fsb with advanced timings.
    This is where my signature would go if I wasn't so lazy.

    Again, as I said, raise DCLK0 and DCLK1 to 1.0 in the BIOS and you should be able to hit 166 FSB with an unlocked CPU.

    And why are you using WinME? ... You're right about native 32-bit OSes... and especially XP.. can utilize SSE itself

    I use winME because I like the challenge. I only get BSODs when I push OCs too hard or install crappy hardware.

    No 1/5 divider on my board. I have the kt3 ultra "1" - the neglected early release model. I don't feel good running my pci freq over 40 mhz. I don't think my ti4200 likes it.

    That is unfortunate that you can only run your RAM at 166 asynch w/o raising your other busses. 0% performance gain. I can tell you however, Ive running the 8-KHA+ at 175 FSB with no Ti 4200 problems, Mem synch. Mem asynch at up to 200FSB. That gives the AGP bus a speed of 100MHz (400)!

    Being a Ti 4200, your card probably isn't holding you back... Heck, it can out-OC my verto with AS3. Why didn't you just get an EPoX in the first place? Costs less than an MSI and always out-OCs it.

    I didn't get epox because I was less educated in the beginning of 2002 than I am now.

    Once I unlock my XP2000 I'll give 166 fsb a try.

    Running asynch doesn't help anything, and my pc2100 has no chance of making it to 200 mhz.

    What? They're not there? Should be present in the Advanced chipset features section under memory... I'm sure you know how to go there ... the bottom methinks....

    Or just try seeing what settings have options of "Auto," "0.5," "1.0," or "1.5." It affects the timing offset in your banks. You could also try adjusting the impedance (manually configuring drive strengths) to straighten signal although I'd proceed with caution there.

    And as for WinMe, *cough* ll4m4...

    It's OK man! Same here. I thought the 8-KHA+ was the best board when the 8-K3A+ was already out. (March) Also, I got CL2.5 PC2100 when CL2.5 PC2700 was existent. Had I known, you would've seen me with the KT333, 1/5 divider, and DDR333 memory.

    But that doesn't mean my mobo isn't a kicker.. not by far If the chipset just had dividers for 1/6, I'm pretty sure the mobo's circuit layout could handle 200MHz FSB just fine. Waiting on the corsair Two weeks now


    Running asynch doesn't help anything, and my pc2100 has no chance of making it to 200 mhz.
    Running Asynch @ 200 does elevate your cardbusses to new peaks of Dante... ahem... speeds...

    Actually running asynch does nothing for the pci/agp bus, it only changes the mem bus. Hence the work asynchronous.

    Nope. It subtracts from the memory bus only.

    Check in sandra and see for yourself.

    ED - now I see what you meant... running mem asynch OVER the FSB speed, not under it... remembering the KT333 has the exclusive option of running the mem at "166MHz" asynch...

    Still, if you go over 133 FSB it doesn't matter if you run the DIMMs at 100MHz, it'll be more stable for sure but your cardbusses will still be elevated. I.E. what I meant to say is that lowering your DIMM clocks to run asynch UNDER the FSB speed has no effect on the other busses.





    BTW I've discovered that setting the burst length down to 4 quad words really helps with high-memory-speed stability.
