over clocking amd64 3000+

[nok1]

hi
my pc seems to be running pretty slow at certain things, i bought some more memory , so i got 1.5gb now as i thought it might speed it up.
i was wondering how easy or how hard is it to get the chip running faster? or is it not worth it.
i`m extremely newbie on this so if its too complicated i`ll forget it but was wondering. oh the m/b is asus k8v se deluxe
thanks

shouldnt be that slow m8,av got similar setup only 1gb memory and abit kv8-pro and mine is rapiddddooooo,no matter what i am doing....

did u not get any software with your mobo,(did with the abit)if not have a butchers at through your bios and u shud see some settings,if u do,post back and i will try post a basic guide for ya

[nok1]

cheers mate.
what settings etc should i be looking for

[b!lly]

cpu multiplyer and ram timings etc,it should be there some where

[nok1]

hmmm are these what your looking for:
mem config
mem clk 133mhz
as latency 2.5
rcd 3 clk
ras 6 clk
pp 3 clk

hyper transport conf.
?t 800mhz
?t data width up 16bit
down 16bit

version 08.00.09
build date 11/29/04

are these any good, cause it might as well be in chinese for what it means to me

[b!lly]

think it might be a better idea for u to read up a bit on different settings and what they do,,,,,,,or maybe just give it a miss m8,cause it gets a bit more difficult.....

[b!lly]

have a read on this m8 for some of the basics

[nok1]

cheers mate , i`ll have a look at that tomorrow

if u got 1.5gig of memory im asumin u got 2 sticks in there. i dont think they make a 768mb stick.

ur memory isnt paired right. this in many cases causes the pc 2 slow down.

2 things u shud chek on the memory:

both memory sticks shud hav the same amount of ram (512mb etc)
the speeds shud also b the same e.g ddr400 pc3200

[nok1]

actually its 3 stick of 512mb.
after reading the attach from b!lly...think i need to read a lot more before i start, seems a bit more complicated then i thought. but thanks for the advice
now where did i put my readers

ur best option wud be to reset bios, asus boards are pretty gud, and can set up ram and cpu by spd.

just pull out mainboard battery for about 3mins then load default in the bios screen

or just reset cmos with jumper pins
