Evan's review here definitely shows that DDR400 gives a big boost over DDR 333 when both chips were running default timings. I think the review you might be referring to is the one that ocworkbench did. In that one he compared DDR 333 at CAS2 to DDR400 at CAS2.5. In that comparison the advantage...
Evan,
Does that Albatron suppport DDR400? I saw in a recent review that the 8SG667 beat the Albatron in every test where the 8SG667 was running DDR400. It seems that performance wise, the extra few Mhz that you might be able to get out of tweaking voltage and so forth might only bring the speed...
Mrbass,
I have that Corsair mem and it's very stable. I have run it for extended periods at 408 Mhz... Not a single lock up or weird error. I played UT2003 for 5 hours straight at that speed. It absolutely flew. I really want more BIOS features though. I think that people do need to know that...
phsf98,
You should be able to easily clock your LE back to retail speeds (275/275) if its a manufactured by ATI model. The core is the same as the full blown version and the memory is retail memory on many of the boards. I have been lucky with mine getting over 300, but you should be able to...
phsf98,
I run a Radeon 8500 LE 128 MB (clocked to 310/300) with this board and 512 MB stick of Corsair 3200 CAS2 and a P4 2.53 clocked to nearly 2.7 Ghz. I could faster with the processor, but I am traveling a bunch and have not been able to properly overclock my processor. I am still using the...
Thanks Shiva,
I was not aware that the retail sink was capable of that. I really think I need a PS with the 12V connector before I try to overclock much more. 150 / 400 sounds like a good number to shoot for. I am sure that thing flies at that speed if stable.
BTW -- did you use any thermal...
What was your front side bus at that speed Shiva ?
Also, what cooling are you using? I am using the POS retail heatsink with a power supply that lacks the 12v output so my overclocking options are a bit limited right now.
No special case is needed. You are probably thinking about the discussion about the backplane. It does not ship with a backplane because it uses the standard ATX format backplane that should have shipped with all new cases. Mine fit perfectly. Most motherboards only ship with a replacement...
Have you tried www.hardwarepro.com?
I ordered mine from them and even though their rating is not too high, they handled my order very well. I certainly had a good buying experience with them.
LeThurneK,
I am using the configuration you mentioned. I have the Gigabyte board, P4 2.53 and 512 MB Corsair 3200 CAS2 memory.
I have had NO problems at all and am very happy with this board. I have not experienced a single lock up and currenly run my processor at 2.7 Ghz and the memory at 374...
