not sure but if it goes from one up to five then I would guess so

will try. one moment..

@Ianxxx: Just gave it a try. I was on "auto" actually, but I set it to 3x. It is either smoother now, or there is no difference at all, haha. I can't tell.

Hmm dont have an option in bios for Hypertransport..

I asked because I original had my pc overclocked when I set memory down to default etc etc. I forgot about the ht link and left it on 3x
Having turned it up to five it just doesn't feel as smooth, I'm thinking again this could be related.
Remember the problems socket 7 amds had with win95/98 I'm wondering if this is something similar.

What board do you have?

lanxxx, Its ok Asus call Hypertransport = LDT Bus Freq. Mine has option in speed ie 600,800,1066, i have selected the third one and yes i must say things seem a little smoother. will have to do a full check over time but feels better.

Thank You for your help.

Cool I think this is probably the real solution + memory at loose timings or very good memory.

Any idea how these changes might affect windows? I don't have it installed on my system right now, so i can't check.

Should'nt make a whole lot of difference.
Might be a fraction slower but other than that no bad effects
