BIOS and Jumper setting help needed

[staffspeted]

Have just built the following system:-
Epox 8ka3+
AMD Athlon 2000XP+ (slightly overclocked to 1.78ghz)
Sapphire Radeon 9700 PRO
Creative Labs Audigy Player
Windows XP
512MB Samsung DDR 2700 333Mhz ram
on top of that an 18" Sharp T1803B TFT Monitor
and its an awesome machine. However Im unclear on a couple of settings.
Firstly on the motherboard :- What should the JCK1 CPU Host Clock Select Jumper be set to? 100mhz or 133mhz.

Secondly in the Bios, what should the DRAM Clock be set to?

The reason for my asking is that my system analysing software is only recognising my memory (#Samsung M368L6423DTL-CB3,K4H560838DTCB3) as 166mhz not 333mhz as i would have thought.
Any hints or advice much appreciated
Regards Pete

Set the "JCK1 CPU Host Clock Select Jumper" too 133. Set your DRAM too 166. The reason why it doesn't show up as 333 is because the Athlon runs at 266. In order to get 333 to appear on bootup you need to raise the FSB(Front Side Bus) too 166.

blueklown got the Jumper setting right, but I think your explanation of why his memory is showing as 166 instead of 333 is wrong. It shows 166MHz which is X 2 for DDR which = 333MHz

OK thanks for your replies,have moved the Jumper but cant change the FSB Frequency its at 133mhz with the DRAM Frequency at 166mhz. So is this set up now right??

Damn, I'm disappointed, you let him off too easy... I guess I'll step up!

Raise that bus speed some more and you have some overclocking going on. Watch the temps, even buy a decent heatsink/fan and raise the voltage to get some more from the processor!

I am overclocking (slightly)! Got my XP2000+ running at 1.78! How high do you do?? Oh got 8 fans cooling my e-star case too.

So how high can a 2000xp cpu go? Whats the max anyone has taken it? What other voltage settings were adjusted? Am at 1.78 now,is this about right or can it go way higher?
