Hey folks,
Currently running an e8400 at 3.8Ghz with PC-8500 ram. I am running the FSB at 423 with an 9x multi. Obviously, wanting to get my ram as close to 1066 Mhz as possible. I have passed memtest, and multiple passes of prime, so I'm good, just want to confirm my memory setting.
I have the memory divider set to 2.50A, which is the 266Mhz strapping. This seems like my best bet, as it gets me to 1057 Mhz. Other options include 2.00A, 2.50A, 2.40B, 2.66D, etc.
Whats with the letters? Do they really mean anything if my fsb does not match the standard:
x.xxA -> 266MHz
x.xxB -> 333MHz
x.xxC -> 200MHz
x.xxD -> 400MHz
My FSB is at 423, which of course matches none of the above. 2.50A has worked for me although I am curious to understand how the strapping works with a different FSB set.
Thanks for the knowledge.
