Without overclocking the ram it wont run at 500MHz or DDR1000. JDEC and the bios are set to run it at 800, if you dont change settings in the bios to adjust the speed of the ram.

like how do i do that i think my bios is different i cant just set the clock speed
do you want me to take a picture of it:confused:

i've also heard that changing mem clockspeed of an amd board is super complicated because you have to mess with the ht
speeds and the multipliers of the cpu

I say wait until someone more informed on ASUS and the AM2's hops in here. Im not really good with either. You could possibly try a different divider, but I would assume it may set the ram to 1066MHz instead.

Depends on what you plan to do with the PC, if its game you can always update down the road if needed.

Pictures always help. Use this to host them. Copy the
link and post em in here!

leave the timings were they are and set your "DRAM CLOCK MODE" to 1066


DRAM volts will need to be around 2-2.2v for this to work

even socket 939 i havent seen chipset drivers for, only socket A and earlier. thats why my backup rig for old games is a Socket A on Win 98. same goes for video.

thats what i mean, you wont get a stable overclock without drivers, you'll keep getting bsod likeu r now. I suggest you got on ebay and pick up a used XP disc, they are not that expensive.

ok and also dude will it also work with ubuntu cause i'm like typing these right now in ubuntu so would it work there


i did what the guy up there to do which i did i set it to 533 cause that was the highest option there and i didint finr 1066 in there so i thought that the conputer just multiplies that number by 2 and i also changed the voltage to 2.0 now what happens is i get no video out when i turn jmy computer on. i'm resetting cmos right now by removing the battery

ubuntu should be ok and drivers should be available. some boards dont like to play nice with it though. but if its working ok for you then great.

In regards to your memory overclock, you may need to up the voltage a bit more in order to boot. Also relax your RAM timings as well.

try more than 2v check the side of your ram at what the voltage rating for 1000 is

Well, I'm impressed. I thought that current chipsets couldn't even run 98.

Enable "Hyper Threading" or "multi threading" in bios. That should help.
