How far can I push this ram......

I got 512 megs Samsung PC2700, it's supposed to run 333mhz, I just bumped the system up a little, and now it's at 358mhz.
I dont really want to fry it, and theres no heat sinks on it yet.

Any suggestions.....

Thought you said you have an XP1700+? It runs at 266MHz DDR

The multiplier can only be changed if he unlocks them on the processor.

So I got a long wase to go yet dont I.......heh
I was going by CPUz, ok, it started out life as a 1700, but XP see's it as a 1900.....
In otherwords, the ram can support UP to 333mhz FSB???????
I am all confused........

Heres the CPUz screenies HERE

Update, ok ok ok so it has to be ran from C:, be gentle with the flaming dung......

Put your clock back to spec speed, it may be showing 1900+ because you've overclocked to 1900+ spec speed.

It is a Tbred, I tryed to lower the multi. and raise the FSB but to no avail.
I will give it another go, there might be something Iam missing.....

I just rebooted and windows went nuts checking my E: drive, man, I thought it was hosed, that where I keep all my dloaded stuff till theres enough for a cd......heh

Apon further inspection, it hoesd my zip archives.............

There was something I missed................................
HITTING THE RIGHT KEY

I turned the multi down to 10 and the fsb to 150, way cool.....

Yep, you're right...

Running the bus up and keeping the CPU down a little will accomplish more then having a lower bus and hight CPU clock right??????

Or should I turn the multiplier up a little bit?????

The undiscovered country, this is fun........

Do not lower your multiplier any more than you already have (10x). Try to keep pushing the FSB up now.

I tryed 155, it came up fine, I did a few timedemos of Q3 ran great.
Then was gonna try 160 and restarted, went in a set it, when it was about to post it kinda freaked out, I had to unplug it for a few secends then it came up fine.
I dont know if I should have upped the voltage on the cpu or what but I decided to run it like this for a week (if I can make a week with trying again) and see what happins.....

Most likely make it till tomorrow night.....heheheee
