Posted July 4, 201014 yr 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
July 4, 201014 yr 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
July 4, 201014 yr Author I just found 4 SDR-Ram here ... I wonder if I have some spare EDO lying around. And a board
July 4, 201014 yr Crew 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. Â edo ram are not the problem btw. i have tons here, but i don't have fb-dimms Edited July 4, 201014 yr by Turrican
July 4, 201014 yr 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????

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
July 4, 201014 yr Crew 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.
July 4, 201014 yr Author Hm ok. Ever contacted the guys from CPU-Z? Â I need to figure out how to boot this setup ...
July 4, 201014 yr Crew 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
July 4, 201014 yr 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 :-/
July 4, 201014 yr Author 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 :-/ Â Is it overclockable? Â Mainboards in those days were either not overclockable or hardly overclockable.
July 4, 201014 yr 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.
July 4, 201014 yr Time to put this thing to shine...  Nice. PC150 sticks. I have a few of those. PIII's like them.
July 4, 201014 yr 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
July 4, 201014 yr Crew on most sdram boards only 1:1 will show the memory clock (mostly p3 boards), which is required for a validation. Edited July 4, 201014 yr by Turrican
July 4, 201014 yr Crew Even if it doesn't, it's easy to figure out. The only chipsets that can change the divider are VIA and ALI. Â 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, 201014 yr by Antinomy

July 4, 201014 yr Crew Thank you, Mr. Scott Turrican nope, until the 810/815 series any older chipset than these can't change the divider.
July 4, 201014 yr Crew 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.
July 5, 201014 yr Crew Thank you, Mr. Scott Turrican nope, until the 810/815 series any older chipset than these can't change the divider. Â yeah, actually i meant those boards.
