Sony Vaio, ram FSB ratio...

sickofsoyo · Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 5:07 pm Post subject: Sony Vaio, ram FSB ratio...

I tried installing PC3200 in the computer to increase its performane, but the ratio is running at 3:5 or something like that, I cant get the ratio to 1:1, which it should be. Is there a workaround for this? A Windows overclocking utility I can use to fix the problem? or do I have to try Sony Tech Support *GASP*?

Does the board support 800mhz bus speeds? If not...it will ony run as fast as 2700.

Does it have an "auto" frequency select mode? If so, try it. Also, it would help if we had a listing of the options your bios gives you.
