| Need suggestions for P4P800 overclock I now have two systems build on the P4P800 running with xp pro. System A: P4P800 2.4b 1 stick Crucial ddr333 & 1 stick Infinion ddr333 both 512mg AI overclock 20% without Turbo PCMark02 CPU= 7008 Mem= 8145 Hdd= 1139 System B: P4P800 2.4b 2 sticks Corsair XMS ddr333 256mg AI overclock 20% without Turbo PCMark02 CPU= 6970 Mem= 6966 Hdd= 1128 I have been able to increase things abit by turning turbo on and adjust memory timings to 2 3 3 6. CPU= 7030 Mem= 7636 Hdd= 1192 I tried 2 3 2 5 and has a system crash, I needed to get the bios from the asus mobo cd. Why can't I get the memory score up ? Could the fact that system A has 1 gig of ram and system B has 512mg ?

| I noticed that system A has Dram burst length at 4 clocks. System B was set at 8 clocks so I changed it to 4 clocks. The memory score went up from 7621 to 7714. Does the amount of ram effect the score ?

| I called Corsair tech support to discuss this issue. The guy I spoke to sounded overworked but friendly. According to him, with turbo on, the timings are 2 2 2 5 and it shouldn't work but it does ... He went on to explain that PC Mark02 uses apps to test and give the scores and that a system with more ram (like system A) might score higher than a system with less ram and faster timings. He suggested that I swap the ram between the systems and retest. I think not ... My cpu is at about 52C while running 3DMark01se. I just ordered another Coolmaster Aero 4 to address this issue.
