Hey Guys Im running a P4C800-E Deluxe mobo with a P4 2.4c, and some OCZ 4200 EL, watercooled. I want to make sure that I'm running the memory at 1:1 but I'm not exactly sure iv'e got the setting set correct in the BIOS. So far the BIOS is set for a FSB of 290 and the OCZ memory timing is set at 2.5,4,4,7 and the BIOS CPU/DRAM is set for AUTO and I'm running PAT in TURBO mode. The system seems to run great there and thats whats got me curious. I'm wondering if it's running there because the AUTO setting is actually running the timing at 5:4 or something. I notice that the settings for the DRAM in the BIOS give me options for 266,333,400, AUTO (I think I got that right, I'm not at my machine right now) but my RAM is 533Mhz does anyone know which setting I should be using to be locked at 1:1

Thanks, PrawdigalSun

Use 400 for 1:1 ratios. I don't think you can do 290fsb with pc4200, very rare.

Let me understand this correctly. setting the BIOS at 400 will lock the memory/CPU ratio at 1:1 even though the memory is rated 533Mhz
