Try
FSB = 250
multi = 10x
HT multi = 3x
Vdimm = default
DDR divider = DDR533 (or whatever the BIOS call it)
Timing = default

with this setting, your ram shouldn't be the one holding back. if not stable you might want to increase the cpu voltage.

not sure.... but i think some forumers sell them at bulk section

you can run ddr800 at lower voltage depends on the chips and how tight the timing is.

my Team DDR667 boot at 1.95Vdimm (the lowest Vdimm on my mobo) ....

I believe the RAM will boot at DDR800 with just 1.8V .... but when u get to the BIOS... just set the timing to 2T for extra stability.

any change with the cpu clockspeed will result change in memory clockspeed as well.

please refer to the cpu/ddr2 divider table at the first page

how's that thing looks like? couldn't find on the website

how about Vantec Iceberq? Do you think it would work?

I already mentioned earlier... eventhough the board layout is similar to M2N32 ...that doesn't mean that you can get max Vdimm as simple as BIOS mod. Everything else need to take into account like the power regulator, mosfet and such. The last resort is to Vdimm mod. There's a guide at XS forum, you guys might wanna dig it.

As for TForce550 user, vdimm pencil mod is as easy as shading the R92 resistor near the 2.2V jumper. Be aware that you WILL need a digital multimeter to measure the Vdimm reading before booting the system to avoid risking your precious RAM. Oh by the way.... use an HB pencil.

I did mine and I get 2.41V max ....lol.

How much is Abit KN9 Ultra?

Go xtremesystems forum, check out AMD section. I think there's one thread about KN9 Ultra I guess.... have a read see whether got issues or not.

look at the SB hsf.... looks like Evercool! lol!

Overclocking should be just the same method as S939/S754, it's just that probably the 'divider' thingy could be different. Please refer to the 1st page to check out the DDR2 memory divider table.

Precisely Ngto.

lolhalol.... the mobo ate 64MB for the built-in graphics.

But I expect that 6100-AM2 will have better 3dmark score compare to 6100-754 or 6100-939 since the former is using DDR2.

good combinations there

but harddisk... i suggest WD or Seagate

Get normal value RAM....

unless you want to do extreme RAM overclocking.

For DDR2, our aim in overclocking is always at least DDR1000 for CL5, DDR900 for CL4, DDR800 for CL3. If the so-called performance RAM cannot go that high.... there's no benefit buying them at expensive price.

However, from my observation AM2 prefers higher DDR speed instead of timing.

for the divider, refer to the first page

u use divider so that the ram will not bottleneck your overclocking.

for the timing.... you have to know the characteristic of the chips. some chips wont run at tight timings, so loose timing will help to achieve higher ddr speeds. some chips are just lousy, can't even clock high. some which are very good, can run low timings at high ddr speeds. some like voltage.

all these... you got to know the characteristics of each chips. how? use internet.... there's a lot of overclocking forums out there. you can always refer to their results. for example, xtremesystems forum.
With K8 generation AMD.... chipset does not matter at all.

the best graphics card is the way if you want to go for gaming.

if your new budget allows u to get C2D + X1900/9700 .... i would say yes

if not, stick with AM2.... your graphics card is the better priority

Biostar is another good choice if you're thinking of getting built-in graphics.

TF550 is not the only model for Biostar ler.

I'm referring to TForce 6100-AM2

Got my DFI Infinity UltraII-M2 this afternoon...

Just mod it to SLI = SUCCESS!
