Well I was testing overclocking my CPU via windows with clockgen. It managed to reach 2.4ghz without crashing! However, on a prime95 stress test, it gave an error not to long after i started it.. so i bumped the voltage up a bit.. the test ran longer than last time but still gave an error. So i took it back down to 2.2ghz.. but my memory speed is too low at this setting. Max i took the voltage was 1.5v... decided not to go any higher. What if i raised it more? Didn't want to risk it =P. Won't be able to handle 2.4ghz yet anyway until i get new cooling since my cpu was reaching 50c.

Tried some tricks to see if i can bypass the 219 bug in the bios.. not possible :(

Dang bug.. looks like overclocking is not possible for me... unless my cpu could be stable at 2.4ghz.. else it's a lost cause.

I certainly won't be buying an MSI motherboard again :P
 
if your FSB is at 220, and your memory is set to 166Mhz, then your memory should be at around DDR440 speeds.
