I have a Dell Precision T3400 workstaion. It's a locked BIOS overclocking project. I already know how to overclock the CPU. It has an X38 chipset which supports DDR2-1066. The locked BIOS supports DDR2-800 with 6-6-6-18 timing. I have the latest BIOS and tried DDR2-1066 7-7-7-21. It just runs 800. Not surprised really.
The chipset also has hidden support for 400FSB. I will probably try a BSEL pinmod for that feature. I would like to see if the memory bus could follow along. I have other methods to try also. I don't have any control over the memory timings. I was thinking DDR2-1066 with 6-6-6-15 timing might work if I can get the bus speed up one way or another. This is a hobby type project so I don't expect guarantees this will work. I've seen IT sites where people say they run DDR2-1066. They don't say what speed it actually operates at. I just thought I'd get the advice of people who know more about this than I do. That would be just about anyone here I suppose.
Also I've never seen any 4GB DDR2-1066 modules. Do they not exist? 8GB is okay for what I do but 16GB is my capacity.
