Ram holding me back, you think?

[Captain Rehab]

Thanks for clicking me.

I googled on this for a little while and I found that too much information is as good as none at all.

Won't boot to Windows past 223 fsb at 1.6v. I've read some conflicting reports on A64 chips getting cooked over 1.8 - does anyone have any personal experience with such matters?

Sandra reads my2x512 PC3200 as @440mhz 2.5-3- 3CL 2CMD
I don't claim to understand how ram timings work -Is this a good thing? Or would PC 3500 or 3700 be a better for me? If it's not too much trouble, could you point out why?

Thanks,

Cap'n

Follow-up... I could get it to boot at [email protected] - the maximum for this board. The fact that it will boot at 2.26 and needs another .1v for 10mhz makes me think I've hit the upper limits for this chip. My RAM seems to be doing alright so I will just leave it at 2.2... Hmm. Now it wants 1.550 to do 2.2. I'll just have to run Prime and pick it back up tommorrow.. and wait for the 90nm chips and a nice nforce 3 250......
