2T is slower than 1T by 15-17%. That's y u achieved highest fsb on 2T compare to 1T. If u benchmark, let's say, 220 fsb at 1T to a 220 fsb at 2T, 2T will loose surely. 2T need around 235-240 fsb to match the result of 1T. So, if u aiming for highest bandwidth, better go for 1T ( usually bios modder name it without CPC in the filename). If u're aiming for higher stability, then, go for 2T. I'm not saying with 1T it's not stable. Just look here, from lyn sandra overclocking result,

7. HydefK - 3955 PTS - Twinmos CH5 UTT @ 11-2-2-2 @ 1T @ 255 MHZ @ 3.3 VDIMM
8. kelvin_hata - 3954 PTS - Corsair PC3200 CH5 @ 11-2-3-2 @ 2T @ 265 MHZ @ 3.3 VDIMM

even at 265@2T, 1T at 255 still win.

just my 0.5 cent.

oh ya? for desktop barton i really have no idea but mobile barton will do.

mobile and tbred no prob!

i'm thinking of trying this mod out.

currently my rig is still in the setup stage.

i have a athlon xp 1800++ processor tbred , abit nf7-s , MAgnum 300 PSU

any reccomendation for RAM ?

tq.

get the kingston valueram man,,,,,,,,,get the ddr400 and do 1 gig 512x2 (dual channel) pump up to 2.9 and do 2-2-2-11

use mantarays xt 2t and get the fsb 220+,,,,,,add more vcore if u want higher!

and get the good power supply!

erm... went to a shop just now,

i was looking at the Corsair RAM,

he gave me a stack to look at,

So i found 2 types.. i type was with a VALUE RAM Chip and the other one is a CORSAIR chip. Is there any difference between the 2 ?

Still havent got my Ram yet...

thanks for the advice mr_47 , will try it out..

then is there any mod bios for an7?
tq

maybe u have to wait for mr 47 or some else to answer..

This thread is still alive and kicking... no new releases since Trats' D27 BIOS?

No new stuff from Merlin and tictac?

Abit off topic here, collin, from ur sig, ur bt-d43, ur' running 3.3v? wah... from the official whitepaper, D43 operating volt is 2.5v ~ 2.7v onli. Y u pump so much volt? at ur mem timing, using 2.7v-2.8v oso can, unless u wan them to run 2-2-2-11 or 2.5-2-2-11 ( onli if they capable lah ). Better lowered ur ram voltage.

Just my 2 cent.

He's running them at 245 fsb lah.

I run mine at 258 fsb 1:1 at 2.9 onli . 2.5-2-2-11 .

today getting my heatsinks and thermal paste..

yesterday just bought a casing for my amd rig....

hopefully everything is succesfull and can start ocing...

erm...

still havent got my ram yet though.... still thinking... might consider mr_47's idea...

erm... why dont u buy KVR with D43 chip... kickin

Thanks for the tip, but the reason I'm doing this is because my NF7 can't take high FSB speeds (I don't know why, it tends to crap out on me), and my Sempron is reaching it's limits. I know D43s are for FSB, not timings, but let's just say that I'm trying a different approach.

So, I did a few tests and I found that I could lower down a timing by feeding 3.3v to my D43s at low FSB speeds. So why not?

Nice to see that you are lucky with your D43s, satanhead2003.

i dunno but i see some topic in official abit forum!

does anyone of you have problem on the ram slots?
i think my 2nd ram slots are dead, third one needs skill to work too, sometimes can sometimes no

my mobo aso seems to be like that.... i can tell u what's wrong here... ur ram n slot are dirty... clean it up ... how to clean ?

ok here's the perfect things to do .... unplug ur ram .... den u take soft rubber.... like ppl used in examination... u rub on da contact point on ur ram... u keep rub it until u see it shiny then u plug in the slot again... if kenot... unplug and rub with rubber again... this tricks really works man ... try it out

p/s : after u do that... u will feel like very easy to plug in the slot... very syok 1 dat feeling...
