Anyone running a g400max at 89mhz AGP?

Hey Guru,

What timings are you using for your SDRAM when @ 145FSB.

I'm currently running my BX-133 RAID with a PIII-933 @ 140 (980Mhz) @ 3-2-2 with Mushkin/Enhanced PC-150, anything higher and it's flakola land.

BTW - there's a new BIOS out for the BX-133RAID and it appears to have a few extra speed tweaks - PCI Wait multiplier selection, and an extra SDRAM timing feature.

Anyone knows if one_kelvin has been able to run his G400 at 89 mhz?

It's weird that many people seem to have problem with that or AGP 2x/4x. My G400 run with no prob at 140 FSB at 4x and it's currently running at 165 FSB at 2x (4x made my PC hang.... I probably ask too much).

Any motherboard chipset that supports AGP 4x, also supports a 1/2 multiplier for the AGP bus speed, if I recall correctly... so 140MHz FSB isn't a big deal for your AGP card (because it runs at 70MHz AGP).

Most people are talking about 133MHz FSB and up with a 2/3 multiplier, i.e. running the AGP at 89MHz and above

I presume the problem is solved since there hasn't been any new posts from one_kelvin. Unless his pc has blown up eeek!

I'm wondering if he tried setting AGP 1x. It's been quite a while since I've seen a board from any manufacturer that wouldn't run 89 MHz/AGP 1x.

I think people don't understand that at 89 MHz, they are overclocking their boards and the increase in AGP bus speed more than compensates for the drop from AGP 2x to 1x.

Well, I can't tell about the 1/2 multiplicator.... sandra 2001 doesn't give me my AGP speed anymore so I have to guess.

But this wouldn't surprise me 'cus I bench about the same thing at 133fsb and 160fsb.

But I remember being able to run my system at 150fsb on a 440bx.... which gives 100MHz for the AGP.
