220 MHz FSB

Simple configuration, all we did was pump up the FSB to 220 MHz and left the voltages at default. The latency was balanced to a CL3-2-2-8 timing and that will make this ram fast at this data rate.

Configuration 2:

Model : Intel Corporation 925x Memory Controller Hub
Front Side Bus Speed : 4x 220MHz (880MHz data rate)
Width : 64-bit
Maximum Bus Bandwidth : 7040MB/s (estimated)

Logical/Chipset 1 Memory Banks:

Bank 0 : 512MB DDR2-SDRAM 3.0-2-2-8CL 1CMD
Bank 4 : 512MB DDR2-SDRAM 3.0-2-2-8CL 1CMD
Channels : 2
Width : 64-bit
Performance Acceleration Technology : Yes

Features:

(W)MMX Technology : Yes
SSE Technology : Yes
SSE2 Technology : Yes
SSE3 Technology : Yes
HTT - Hyper-Threading Technology : Yes

Here we can see that the Intel P4 processor is already running at 3.74GHz which means a 340 MHz increase and that the Mushkin memory has no draw back at these clock speeds. In fact the ram is still running at a very tight timing of CL 3-2-2-8!

 



 

240 MHz FSB

In order to break up into the 4 GHz area we had to loosen the timings to CL4-4-4-12 and was able to still run fine with stock voltages. Even at this timing the ram is super fast.

Configuration 3:

Model : Intel Corporation 925x Memory Controller Hub
Front Side Bus Speed : 4x 240MHz (960MHz data rate)
Width : 64-bit
Maximum Bus Bandwidth : 7680MB/s (estimated)

Well since we increased the bus speed by 20 MHz to 240 MHz, our Intel P4 is now running 4.08GHz, yelp’s indeed, we passed the 4 GHz barrier. And again the Mushkin memory has no issues what-so-ever.
