So I picked up the parts last night after work:
AMD Athlon XP 2500 Barton Mobile
DFI Infinity NF2 Ultra 400
1024mb Samsung PC3200 DDR400
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
Creative SB Live 5.1
30 GB Maxtor
40 GB Maxtor
Thermalright SLK-947U HS
TT Smart Fan 80mm
Antec Performance II full tower
Antec 400w smart power PS
So I throw everything together and boot her up. Everything looks good and I install Windows 2k and all the service packs. Get the drivers up and on.
Now I install 3D Mark 2001 and do a bench (wanted to see what i was getting without any tweaks)
Scored a 8900 lol
so I was like wtf?
So I just do a quick system spec and I see that both 3D Mark and Windows are showing my CPU as a 800mhz Duron ? Hmmmm
So I shutdown and jump into BIOS ... I bump it 11x 133 fsb ... restart
1400 mhz ok so far so good
BIOS again 11x 200 fsb ... restart
2200 mhz ... ah yes ok
Back in Windows load up 3D Mark again ... boom 18000
so that is it ... it was almost 1am by the time I was done so I packed it up and went to bed but I was very pleased with my 1st overclock. I was surprised the Samsung RAM was able to perform the way it did ... considering its alot less in price then say OCZ or Kingston.
Has anyone had that funny underclock like I did tho?
