Do i need to run a divider/what is a divider?

You'll find the "memory divider" in the BIOS. Drop the speed of the RAM to PC2700/166, and then up your HTT. For example, I have an Opteron 144 (1.8GHz) and some PC3200/200 MHz RAM which I set to PC2700/166. I've raised my HTT to 244, which puts my CPU at around 2.2GHz, and "overclocks" my RAM to about 200MHz.

if ram can't overclock along with your system(cpu/system) you use divider to keep your ram running close to stock speed so the ram wont hold back the whole overclocking.
if you go to your ram settting in BIOS you'll find some list of ... 1:2 , 2:3, 4:5 , 7:6 whatever etc etc multiply first number to your FSB and divide by the second number
250FSB(HTT) with 2:3 divider gives 166mhz for your ram. that's kinda low siince you have pc4000. get your calculator out and find the best divider that will give you good ram speed. If you have really good overclocking ram, and you are not overclocking too much, you may not even need to use divider and just use 1:1 witch is the best overall.
btw your pc4000 can run up to 250mhz so you may not even need to use the divider if you are not overclocking over 250mhz. or you can use divider and lower the speed while using better timing

hmmm, lets see here. the 165 has a multiplier of 9, yes? So, to run at 2.6 GHz, you need an HTT of 2600/9 = 289 MHz. So, unless your RAM can reach those kind of speeds, yes, you will need to run a divider. simply take 289/ fastest speed ram can manage = divider to use (run ram slightly slower if it means you can get more out of the CPU)
Hope that helps, and I havent made a fool of myself.
