The Opteron should be the same as the Athlon FX. The multiplier should be unlocked for you to change. If your motherboard does not support this your only hope at cpu overclocking would be from increasing the front side bus speed. About your registered memory.. it can be overclocked. If you're not too sure on how to do it I would recommend not trying it until you can learn more about something like this. One page you may try is www.overclockers.com. There are a few others but they're corrupt beyond belief. If you'd like you can ask me whatever questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them. If I can I'll try to look up the information for you. My email address is speedycpu@comcast.net if you'd like to further this discussion. >On February 08, 2004 at 16:41:19, Aaron Gordon wrote: > >>On February 08, 2004 at 16:30:24, margolies,marc wrote: >> >>>ps i am using 2700 ram (333) in dual channel config. i require athlonFX to use >>>faster ram with my chipset ( nforce150 pro) >> >>Try pushing the ram up to 200fsb/400DDR and raising your ram timings.
