A7N8X Memory Frequency Setting

[extra]

I am running PC3200 ram. I left the setting at AUTO. Should I set it
at 200%?

Depends on what CPU you have.
Is it a 266 fsb, 333 fsb or a 400 fsb one?
For 266 fsb memory needs to be at 133Mhz, for 333 fsb memory to be at 166MHx
and for 400 fsb, memory to be at 200MHz.

XP2400 TBred?
XP2400 runs on a 266(DDR) fsb, memory is at 133MHz.
External cpu freq = 133MHz
Ram should be in sync so cpu and ram need to be 133MHz.

Thanks for the info.

An XP2400 (Thoroughbred) has a clock speed of 2.00Ghz (15 x 133).

You should be able to improve performance by switching to 10 x 200 FSB to
match your memory (no overclocking involved), if your system can handle that
high an FSB. Set your memory to 100% in the BIOS.

Mine loses stability above 190 FSB.

Yes and it runs on a 266FSB at 133MHz cpu freq.
