[Edson Alvarenga]

Hi,

I am looking for some advice to see if my BIOS settings are correct.

System Configuration:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (Thoroughbred-B)
Asus A7N8X-X Bios 1009
Memory 256 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM 333 MHZ (Generic)
Geforce FX5200 128 MB (xfx)
Hard Disk Seagate ST380011A (80 GB)


Bios Settings:

CPU External Frequency : 166 MHZ
CPU Frequency Multiple Setting : Auto
CPU Frequency Multiple : 13.5 x
System Performance : USer Defined
CPU Interface : Optimal
Memory Frequency : 100 %
Resulting Frequency : 166 MHZ
Memory Timing : User Defined
SDRAM Active Precharge Delay : 7
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay : 3
SDRAM RAS Precharge Delay : 3
SDRAM CAS Latency : 3T
FSB Spread Spectrum : Disabled
AGP Spread Spectrum : Disabled
CPU Vcore Setting : Auto
CPU Vcore : 1.650V
DDR Reference Voltage : 2.6V

Thanks,

Unless you are overclocking then the CPU Freq multiple should be 12.5

An XP2800 is 2.08 on 166 FSB, 12.5 not 13.5

I'm sorry, I was deceived in relation to the model of the processor,
therefore, I took off cooler and I saw the real model of the
processor. It is AXDA2200DKV3C

Then I changed the CPU Frequency to 133 MHz and Multiplier to 13,5.

In relation to the memory, Can I use DDR 333 MHZ memory together with
this processor ?

If you are runNing the ram at the same speed as the CPU FSB (133MHz)
then you could use DDR as low as 266 (133 x 2 = 266).

PCxxxx / DDR / MHz
PC1600 / 200 / 100
PC2100 / 266 / 133
PC2700 / 333 / 166
PC3200 / 400 / 200
