| NForce 2 IGP and FSB overclocking on 8RGA+ I red somewhere that it is advisable to avoid memory overclocking using onboard VGA. Why is that so and what would happen if I raise memory frequency above its specs? How far FSB goes with IGP enabled on 8RGA+? Holst, know something about it?

| it seem the onboard graphics stress the memory more than normal use. therefor memory overclocking is harder on an IGP

| The northbridge silicon has independent feeds, this is different to overclocking a pure SMA product - it's IGP afterall.

| I don't know about the stability of the 8RGA+ when OC , But "My other brand " Nforce2 with IGP overclocks well enough. The memory used is Samsung pc3200 so it is still within it's rating. Here is a comparison of my main system (8RDA+) and my "other brand" NF2 w/IGP. bob
