how do i lower my memory freqency besides doing it in the bios? My bios dont have the option to do so? pos. is there a program or anything? I can overclock my cpu but it over does my ram.
If ur BIOS doesn't allow u to do so I doubt that any programs will. U could try to flash a new bios to the mobo, though I don't recommend doing this since it can cause damage to the mobo.
lol yeh its kinda old but it will have to do for now... unless yall wanna donate
motherboard: FIC K7M-NF18G (AU31)
Bios: Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG
CPU: athlon XP 3200+
768 MB Ram Regular Kingston.. not very good.
and a Radeon 9600 XT
well how do i unlock it? and what does flashing the bios do? and whats my chances of it working? i have a extra mb if it messes this one up its the exact same mb....????
The only way I can think of is to flash it. It basicly changes the bios, so in this case u need to flash it with a bios that isn't locked. I don't know too much about the chances, I managed to do it and everything worked fine, but a friend of mine tried it and he broke his mobo. Though he ain't the smartest when it comes to computers. And if it doesn't do any permanent damage, just something like some features not working etc u can always flash it back. (always make a copy of the original bios and save it to a disk!)
But I'd like someone else to say that it's safe or it isn't coz I'm not that sure.
