There's no FSB anymore in A64 system. I'm a bit vague in my previous statement about the external clock. In yr statement :
QUOTE
lower your CPU multiplier to 8X or 7X
external clock increase to 300 above let say 320
320X8=2.56GHz
Ram set to 133MHz=DDR426MHz
multiplier=6X
external clock increase to 400
400X6=2.40GHz
Ram set to 100MHz=DDR400
Because of high external clock, the performance must higher than your current 2.6GHz
According to the setup above, 2.4GHz with 6 x 400 is impossible to outperform 2.56GHz @ 320X8. It is because the 2.56GHz system has higher CPU clock and RAM speed than the 2.4GHz counterpart.
External clock can boost performance only if u hv a fix multiplier, let's say 6x. 6x 400 of course will be faster than 6x320, However, 6x400 wont be faster than 10x300.
the low superPI score of magiara system is due to slow RAM (185MHz only), but not the CPU. I believe if he is able to make 2.5-4-4-8 @ 233MHz, the superPI result will be a lot faster

Anyway, may i know where u bought this BIOSTAR?
