What is it being detected as? There are 2 versions of the 2600xp. If your says it has the 333mhz fsb, it should have a multiplier of 12.5. If the 266mhz fsb, it should have a multiplier of 16.

Actually, you would set it to 166, (its DDR, so it gets multiplied by 2, giving 333mhz). I believe there's a jumper somewhere you'll have to set to 166.
What mobo? Be sure you have latest bios, that can cause problems. Last edited by karsh44 : April 23rd, 2004 at 09:23 AM. |

Dave, is DDR exactly twice as fast? I'm using normal pc133 right now. If DDR is really that beneficial, I'll do an upgrade.

DDR is twice as fast as regular sd-ram, but that doesn't mean a 50% increase in performance or anything. It would be a modest speed increase. Be sure your board supports ddr, instead of just sdram if its older. |
