K, so my Overclocking is progressing well now - its my first time, but Im getting the hang of it :)
Anyhow, Ive got a P4 2000 @ 2300 (20*115) running stable with 1.575 Vcore. I have 512MB PC2700RAM.
Now i want to go up a little further: I upped the fsb to 117 and the Vcore up to 1.625 to try to keep it perfectly stable. When I run a Prime 95 torture test with no RAM, it lasts a fair with no errors, though if i run it with all the RAM tested etc. it errors out after about an hour. So this brings me to my question:
In the bios I can change the CPU/Memory ratio between Auto, 1:1, 3:4 or 3:5.
I did the last test on 1:1 to see what happens and this is when i got the 1 hour error - would I gain stability from upping it to 3:4, and if so do I lose speed? (ill mainly be using for movie encoding)
