| 23614 | 2001-11-04 10:31:00 | my computer has a 440LX/EX motherboard running a pentium2-266. my motherboard is currently running at 66MHZ bus speed. i also know that it can run at 68,77,83 MHZ bus speeds. is there any risk in taking the bus speed up to any one of these and is there any risk as i heard that increasing bus speed will increase everything else as well and that stuff like the PCI bus should not run faster than 33.3MHZ. is there a way to increase bus speed but keep the PCI bus at 33.3MHZ. also will it affect the RAM much as it is PC66MHZ ram. also will it offer much of a speed boost. thanx | Guest (0) | ||
| 23615 | 2001-11-04 10:51:00 | overclocking your fsb(front side bus) can lead to some good performance gains. however as u have mentioned it overclocks the other buses to. sorry theres no way of keeping the pci speed fixed for those boards. increasing the pci bus speed can cause your cards to freak out and cause all sorts of problems. also overclocking the fsb will overclock the ram to. not a prob if you are running 100/133mhz ram. also the L2 cashe on the p2 gets a bit freaky when overclocked, though there are tools around to help with that. | Guest (0) | ||
| 23616 | 2001-11-04 21:02:00 | You can usually run safely at 68, after all this is within the range of clock speeds that 66s actually can be found running at. In my experience you can expect glitches at speeds beyond this, but not necessarily on everything, so it depends on what you are running. The increase in performance at 68MHz is hardly nail biteing stuff. |
