BIOS FREQUENCY SPEEDS FOR AMD64 3200+ and CORSAIR 1GB PC3200 (400 Mhz)

[ag3]

When in the bios, what to I set the frequency (ex: 100/133) for an AMD64 3200+ with 1 GB of Corsair PC3200 (400 Mhz)?

Thx in advance! I really appreciate anyone responding!

hey there, should be set to 200/200

Ok... Thx a lot.

200/200 is not overclocked, right?

if you have not bought this CPU yet make sure you buy the retail version not OEM. agex000 i think what he meant was that your:

CPU frequency: 200Mhz (400mhz effective FSB)
CPU multiplier: (i think is 11, not absolutely sure)
Memory FSB: 200Mhz (400mhz effective FSB)

these are the settings for a 32bit athlon XP3200 though. i do not know if this is the same for your 64bit. someone has to double check this before you try it. if it does not get recognise is the only time you need to set it in BIOS. if windows detects it OK than do not touch anything.

people are overclocking this pretty good:

Just curious... Why the retail version and not the OEM? Is there a difference? Can someone plz specify this for me ASAP as I am going to buy the hardware VERY soon!!

OEM has no warranty and comes with only the product itself. retail is with warranty and the retail box packing that you would buy at a store. trust me its not worth it to save $10 for OEM. this rule applies to only processors and other things. sometimes it's smart to buy OEM like cd-rom or dvd burners or hard disks
