XP2600 + A7N8X + Impact of memory question
Hi there...
I'm relatively new to overclocking and have a couple of quick questions. 1. I will only ever use this PC for video editing - never ever gaming. I was going to purchase some corsair ram 3200 twin x (2x256) but before i did I wondered was it worth it? Are gamers only likely to see the performance gains? What computer functions require superfast memory to improve the performance? The performance gains I am looking for will be in rendering video. And I believe that's pretty much all processor. If I'm not gaming would this expensive memory be worthwhile. 2. The FSB on the CPU is 333mhz. The A78nx can take go up to 400mhz and so can the corsair memory. Does the mboard & memory ability to go to 400mhz make the overclocking more likely to be stable? Any help very much appreciated. |

I purchased Corsair TwinX PC 3200 DDR and found that the memory will only allow overclocking to about 406 fsb. I now have Corsair XMS PC 3500 which will allow overclocking to 434 fsb. I am using an XP 3200+ 400 fsb cpu. If you buy the 3200 you may wish you had bought the PC 3500 as I did. My machine runs perfect with the PC 3500. -- .. |
