nForce 2 Bios Overclocking Web Page, nForce 2 - nForce Base by Polli [Page1]

System performance: ' ' Expert '', partly also user defined mentioned. Only with
this attitude one can increase the FSB in small steps.
CPU Interface: Optimal or agressive. Agressive heads for the CPU faster.
Recommendation: Use first time Optimal for overclocking.
If everthing works fine, try more agressive CPU timings.
Memory Frequency: Recommendation "100%" or 1 : 1 ratio.
That takes cares your memory run synchronously 1 to 1 clocked to the CPU
Front Side Bus (FSB).
Attitude ' ' Auto '' puts partly the FSB back over 200 again. The attitude 100%
or 1 to 1 ratio does not do this.
On nForce2 I recommend generally synchronous clocking CPU to memory FSB.
Asynchronous clocking can lead to instability, particularly with higher clocking.
Note: higher RAM FSB than CPU FSB runs mostly. A RAM FSB under CPU FSB is a
problem factor on nForce2.
What you are able to do with the % memory clocking of choice setting, please find
on web page 2 of the nForce2 BIOS guide.
Memory timings: Optimal, Agressive, turbo
The attitude setting affects, the values RAM latency in the lines under it.
Subject of agressive or turbo settings is, lower latency times.
Suggestion: Try agressive and test with the programm "Memtest" stability.
Perhaps, increase memory voltage [vdimm] lightly.
With problems, choose the optimal setting.
The "expert" setting lets you decide all latency values by self in manual use.
To set memory timings manual is sometimes important for overclocking.
FSB and AGP Speed Spectrum: Value on "disabled", Speed Spectrum options
cost performance.
AGP Aperture Size: Recommendation 50% of the real main memory of the
graphic card.
AGP 8x Support: choose 8x if the graphic card has AGP 8 support.
AGP Fast Write Capability: Disabled costs minimal graphic performance and is
more certainly, because the graphic card transmitt no direct straight orders to
the CPU as receiver.
Recommendation: disabled. Who would like to take the performance with, try
option enabled and with problems put back.
System Bios Cacheable: Recommendation on "disabled".
Modern operating systems and mainbaords is the paging of the biology in the
main memory not necessary.
The setting "enabled" cares occasionally for problems in the PC stability.
