Ok, i'm using:
-Athlon 64 3200 (2 ghz, 1mb cache)
-2x 512 Corsair XMS Twinx pc3200
-MSI K8T NEO
-a pretty lightweight Award 300w power supply.
So far I can't seem to get my fsb above 210 with tight timings (2-3-3-6) or about 220 with pretty loose timings 3-4-4-8. It seems like the ram, while not being capable of getting into that 300 range that i've been reading about, still should be able to go higher than this.
1) What's most likely holding me back? Is it the motherboard or is it actually likely to be my RAM's cap? What should that RAM be getting up to?
2) How much of a factor is my crappy power supply in achieving higher speeds, not the safety of my components.
3) Also, if i did want to get up into that 300 range, what would i need? Some ocz pc 3700 and a better motherboard like that DFI lanparty one?
