133mhz fsb to much for RDRAM PC800?

[SlapAss]

I have read alot reports about guys overclocking the northwood 1.6 to 2.1 on the Abit TH7II mobo, but no one talks about how their PC800 handles running at PC1066. Can anybody that has done this give me some feedback, please?

 

[Str8UpKiller]

I'd like to know too!

So far, so good.

I've been running my 1.6A @ 2.138 and Samsung PC800 double sided 16 devices @ 4x w/Ram Turbo enabled for 6 weeks now rock solid.
This is on P4T-E(ASUS) w/ICS clockgens.

XtremeG, was it that hard to get where your at now?

and how many other ppl are at the same level that your at?

also does your 2.2ghz with rdram beat a 2.4ghz with ddr?

Lizardman, If you get good PC800 (newer samsung), it will not have trouble reaching 533 fsb.
About the 2.4 ghz part, With the Th7-2, you can run your P4 at 2.4 and the RDRAM at 3: 1ratio ( PC900) speed without any problem with the PC800 ram. This presuming your P4 can go that far.
And yes, it would easily outperform DDR at 2.4ghz

2-256 MB Samsung/16 device (bought from Googlegear) running at 4x133=533/PC1066 since early April on a Th7-II, has never crashed, MemTest run for 4 hours, no problems.

Yep newer Samsung usually can run at PC1066 speeds, and even if it can't, you can always lower the RDRA< multiplier, while that will decrease performance somewhat, it'll still beat any DDR setup.

Same setup as ExtremeG and using dip switches on the mobo rather than the bios to keep my agp/pci within specs.
