Massman Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 This should be interesting ... I really want to see IF some people can digg up some old EDO memory and can actually overclock it. I honestly don't know if it's possible Quote
placid Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 wow.. it's hard to find memory for this challenge, maybe SDRAM still possible. But who knows anyone has old EDORAM can submit . Forget overclock, hunting to curious good Quote
Massman Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 I just found 4 SDR-Ram here ... I wonder if I have some spare EDO lying around. And a board Quote
Crew Turrican Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) the bigger problem will be that some older boards which use edo ram don't display a memory clock in the cpu-z memory tab/verfication. edo ram are not the problem btw. i have tons here, but i don't have fb-dimms Edited July 4, 2010 by Turrican Quote
ViViD Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Maybe Just Sub 10Person Join This Challenge Men It's Too Hard Why Set This For July I Don't Know EDO DRAM, RDRAM and FB-DIMM DRAM What's That Moudle???? Quote

Maybe Just Sub 10Person Join This Challenge Men It's Too Hard Why Set This For July I Don't Know EDO DRAM, RDRAM and FB-DIMM DRAM What's That Moudle???? EDO was before SDRam. RDRam was used by Intel before DDR got upto speed. FB-Dimm was used in some server boards (skulltrail as well). Not all challenges are to get loads of people involved. Sometimes it's just something special Quote
Crew Turrican Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 All EDO boards, or just some? my old socket 5/7 boards (3 different ones) never showed the clock. maybe newer pentium2 edo ram boards can show it. Quote
Massman Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 Hm ok. Ever contacted the guys from CPU-Z? I need to figure out how to boot this setup ... Quote
Crew Turrican Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 Hm ok. Ever contacted the guys from CPU-Z? I need to figure out how to boot this setup ... no, but maybe it doesn't work because there's no "official" edo ram support? http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z/supported-hardwares.html Quote
DrSwizz Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I have a bunch of sticks with 33MHz EDO RAM, I won't with win any prizes with those though; they are too old & slow :-/ Quote
Mr.Scott Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Crap. I have all the required ram, but I'm missing a motherboard. Shopping time. Quote
Massman Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 I have a bunch of sticks with 33MHz EDO RAM, I won't with win any prizes with those though; they are too old & slow :-/ Is it overclockable? Mainboards in those days were either not overclockable or hardly overclockable. Quote
DrSwizz Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Is it overclockable? Mainboards in those days were either not overclockable or hardly overclockable. My sticks are 72-pin memory sticks: I doubt they can beat EDO DIMMs (and wheren't those clocked at 66MHz? or is my memory failing me?) Anyway, overclocking was indeed possible on 486 and pentium-era boards. It just wasn't as easy as it is nowadays. Quote
Mr.Scott Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Time to put this thing to shine... Nice. PC150 sticks. I have a few of those. PIII's like them. Quote
frag_ Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Have sdram capable 190+ MHz at 3-3-3-7, will participate Abit ST6E, divider 2:3 (cpu-z don't show it for unknown reason) http://images.people.overclockers.ru/172300.png Quote
Crew Turrican Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) on most sdram boards only 1:1 will show the memory clock (mostly p3 boards), which is required for a validation. Edited July 4, 2010 by Turrican Quote
Crew Antinomy Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Even if it doesn't, it's easy to figure out. The only chipsets that can change the divider are VIA and ALI. I have contacted with Franck Delattre (Massman, you know this) but I can't say how fast will he implement required fixes. Edited July 4, 2010 by Antinomy Quote
Mr.Scott Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Antinomy, you are an invaluable member where ever you go. Quote

Crew Antinomy Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 Thank you, Mr. Scott Turrican nope, until the 810/815 series any older chipset than these can't change the divider. Quote
Crew Antinomy Posted July 4, 2010 Crew Posted July 4, 2010 I don't know anyone who else can I just said that I don't know how fast will he make the fixes after they are reported on. I've seen the asynch. memory issues on VIA and Intel chipsets. I know how to identify the memory divider on these. I'll share with him with this info today. Quote
Crew Turrican Posted July 5, 2010 Crew Posted July 5, 2010 Thank you, Mr. Scott Turrican nope, until the 810/815 series any older chipset than these can't change the divider. yeah, actually i meant those boards. Quote
