-=extreme=- Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 thanks mayorsam. do u think that if i'll upgrade its ram to 256mg, the performance will improve given that the fsb is only 66mghz or anywhere within that range? do u think it'll be worth upgrading it? What OS do yuou use? But still the larger the memory the more program to run.. Yes it will increase perfomance but not very high.. Quote Link to comment
roxysnonie Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) given these specs below, is there any chance of improving its performance if the ram is increased to 256mb? -intel p3 433mghz-128mb rambetter yet lock in to two 128mb rams...much betterer!

Eraserheads Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I'll let the two good gentlemen (nox & roxysnonie) to answer your query. Quote Link to comment
NoX Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 bibilis yan pag nag-add ka ng ram. i'm not familiar with motherboards so wala akong idea how to determine the FSB. i'm assuming you want to find out yung speed ng motherboard mo? if im not mistaken meron jumpers to set the speed. try mo tignan sa manual if it's still with you.

VVV Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 magtatanong lang po sana ako.... i feel i'm being stiffed by UNION BANK. yung utang ko po as of last october 2003 was only around 7k... ngayon po, 20,000 plus na daw as of july of this year... even if i speak with union bank and not the collection office, kailangan parin daw po na bayaran yung fee ng collection office... can they do that... i only plan on paying the principal amount of 7 k plus a little extra and be done with them... but what if they keep hounding me and let the said ballance grow back to 20,000... worst thing is... they aint even as big as citibank or standard chartered na tinigilan na ako and stopped with the interest charging... as long as i pay it down... what can i do agaisnt these guys... pano pa ako makakapag mtc pag inubos nila ag pinagpapaguran ko na pagtrabahuan...

xcalibr Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 kase i've heard that no matter high your ram is when your fsb low, parang it'll have no effect sa performance. is this true?. Given the specs, i have installed 2 progs, 1 firewall and 1 AV, and gumagapang na Quote Link to comment
NoX Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 syempre, affected yung speed pag mabagal din ang motherboard. dami naman factors ng system speed isa sa major factors yan. aside from the hardware, affected din kung anong os ang gamit mo and what services you're running. like kung win2K or newer ang os mo at 128Mb lang ang ram mo gagapang talaga yan. pag nagkabit ka ng added ram makikita mo yung changes sa speed.

menime Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I attempted to upgrade my OS from 98 SE to XP HE. But I got afraid of all those directions so I cancelled it. Now, I'm seeing what ORTHODOC is seeing everytime I turn on my PC. My friend did a "partition" when he put the 98 OS on my PC and now it seems its asking the same thing again when I'm upgrading it. I dont have the partition disc and I dont even know what the hell is that for. Its driving me nuts!!! BTW, I'm still stuck with my old problem since I cant change to another OS. Dude, dont get intimidated by all those instructions, I suggest that you proceed with the upgrade....If you're affraid yould loose information, back-up all you important files, I'll tell you it will all be worth it. If you encounter any problem after upgrading just post it and we will try to help you. Quote Link to comment

menime Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 hi, i just wana know how to determine the fsb of a pc. btw, the pc runs on p3 celeron 433mghz. do u know its fsb? its current ram is 128mb, i tried installing a firewall and a new AV, it's eating up all the resources; if i upgrade it to 256, will the performance improve in any way or it is already beyond upgrade since it has a low fsb? need help. thanks I agree with Mayorsam, more likely than not you have a celeron running at 66mhz. Back on those days, there were 3 fsb speeds. either 66mhz, 100mhz or 133mhz. 66mhz for celerons, 100mhz for pentium 2's and early pentium 3's, and 133mhz for pentium 3's coppermine core. By the way if its a celeron its not a p3, pentiums and celerons are two different procs. by doing the math, only at 66mhz FSB will you be able come up with 466 clock speed. 66mhz FSB X 7 clock multiplier = 462mhz rounded off as 466mhz clock speed. you cannot get this clock speed with 100 and 133mhz fsb because multiplier clocks are always whole numbers. Anyway You'ld probably get a decent boost in performance by adding another stick of 128 mb ram, Win2k's recomended minimum memory (correct me if i'm wrong) is 256 mb, win2k requires more memory than older operating systems like win 98 and me. hope this helps Quote Link to comment
Dekampanilla Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Yup, you have to adjust the Front side bus frequency in your bios in order to overclock your proc. But again if you plan to overclock you got to have, sturdy rams, dont worry about your proc they oftentimes overclock easy. Hey Guys! Thanks for the the very informative info on overclocking. You guys have a gift of explaining this stuff in easily understandable. Looks to me that with the side effects overclokcing may not be worth it. Perhaps I'll just add more memory since I haven't maxed out yet. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
el tororista Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I've experienced the same problem before... by the way, after the red and green garbage did your system crash and you needed to reboot or were you able to recover from the error without rebooting? I could be wrong but anyway my best guess is that you have a leaking RAM try replacing your ram with a new one. What's your ram configuration do you have two 256 or a single stick of 512 memory? Please post the rest of your pc specification so we could help you better. Hello Goodfellas, I'm using a single stick memory 512 MB PC333 DDR.. Once the monitor starts displaying green and red lines, when I try to reboot using power on, the system does not turn off. I need to unplug the power cable just to restart again. After this, whenever I try to boot up, my pc suddenly restart. This usually happens during the Windows XP loading screen. I tried to reformat again my pc to see if it can resolve this. However, after installing the video card driver, It revert to the old problem of restarting during windows XP loading screen. Thanks Quote Link to comment
menime Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Ok... There are two possibilities... First, like what I've said before it could be that you have a leaking RAM.to know for sure download memtest86memtest download Memtest is a pretty cool program that performs memory intergrity scan on your ram. Just follow the instructions an run it to be ceratin that your ram is OK. Second, it could be your motherboard, you said before that you tried two different videocards on your system but still you get the same error, This suggests that there is nothing wrong with the videocards you tried. It could be that your motherboard is not compatible with the videocards or worst it could be damaged. Anyway, i cannot really be certain about this unless i get my hands on your system. Again, please post the rest of your specs so i could help you better. Quote Link to comment
