NEWB QUESTION: Does anybody know what settings I would use in the Asus P4P800 BIOS in order to acheive a standard 200MHz FSB (800MHz quad-pumped), and standard DDR400 memory speeds. I thought I would do this by setting the CPU "frequency," as the BIOS puts it, to 200 and the DRAM Frequency to 400. But I've read on ABXZone.com that what I'm really setting is a divider, and that setting the CPU frequency to 200 means I'm setting a 1:1 ratio, meaning that the memory will now run at 200MHz, not 400MHz. Is that true? Why wouldn't it be more straight forward? Also, the manual says that the CPU Frequency is adjustable from 100 to 400. Mine caps at 200. The advice given to me was to set the CPU frequency at 250, but the memory at 333, so that I have a 4:5 divider. That would boost the CPU to 3.0 and the memory would stay at DDR400. But I don't want to overclock. So what do I set for 800MHz FSB and 400MHz memory? And how would I even go about setting the FSB to 250? Is there another hidden page or field or something? Really confused...........................
