i can only assume it's your ram holding you back

You may have change the RAM timming, or set up a Ram divider.
A BIOS flash may or may not allow you to access/change more options in the CMOS Setup.

What temps are you getting with Speedfan or any other program?
You will have to clear CMOS and start over.

I second that it's the ram holding you back, especially since it's DDR333MHz.

You guy's do relise he's got a Packard Bell? Don't they lock all the crap in bios like dell and that?

no.im using another mobo.its just the case im using the PB.you mean reset bios?i just reset it.what about CMOS?my temps are fine.i myself think too it is the ram that is holding me back.what can i do guys?what ram timings should i set and ram divider?

 

[Shumway]

What mobo are you using? We could probably help you more if we had more info

And it can't really be the ram holding you back,I'm using 512mb DDR333 too and i'm @ 2.3 from the stock 1.8

its msi p4mam v

Not Nessicarily (Sp). He can change the clock so its obvious that option is not locked.

In this context BIOS and CMOS mean the same thing, resetting the CMOS will be the same as resetting the BIOS. Just remove the battery for 1-2 Mins or connect the Clr Cmos Jumpers.

My guess is he can up the FSB only,If he atleast has an agp/pci lock he could get better ram and maybe squeze abit more out of it.
