Can a Duron on an nforce2 400 run at 266fsb?
u will have to unlock the cpu multipliers but i dont see why that chip
wont run even a 200mhz fsb with a low enough multiplier.

I'm assuming that since the CPU core isn't being changed, this isn't really 'overclocking', as the memory (333MHz crucial stuff) isn't going over spec, and the CPU can be set close to 1.2GHz with multipliers (I don't wannta overclock until I get the hsf properly set with sandpaper and some thermal paste.) |

The default setting for 1.2 Duron is 100 x 12. If the motherboard supports
a 3/4 ratio of 100 cpu / 133 memory then it may work - and what I have seen of nforce boards I would have thought there was such an option - if you can do a 3/5 ratio I do not know, but maybe, the boards are versatile and with the percentages and ratios you may be able to do it. When I had my Duron 1.2, I do not think I ever got the cpu to run over 123Mhz bus speed - which took it up to 1474Mhz, my motherboard did not allow a 3/4 ratio so I never tried running it out of synch.

but then I never tried seeing how fast the fsb would go...
so only two ways to find out really - search the internet - and try it and see - but unlocking my Duron was easy - just involved the use of a pencil, "Hippy Paul" wrote in message ...
