p4c800 ratio

[vshah]

is there a way to change the fsb/ram ratio? as of right no i can't boot w/ ddr400 set when my fsb is anything over 220 or so...kinda annoying...i'm pretty sure i've looked through everything, if i'm missing something obvious, smack me.
thanks,

change your dram frequency from auto or 400 to 333MHz!
you'll then be running your memory 5:4

there are many settings that can be adjusted i would sudgest;
set it to manual adjust in BIOS, then start changing things one at a time, and restarting to make sure it is working.
first i would change you fsb prob to ~230 to ~250 is safe,
change your mem freq to 320mhz 5:4 if you are using pc3200, it prob will not like the 400mhz 1:1
memory excel mode = enabled
performance mode= turbo
may need to up voltages but if leave at auto they prob ok
can also change the latency un the "configure dram by SPD' =disable then can adjust them depending on what kind of RAM you have will depend on the stability here but CL 2-3-3-6 prob ok
assuming you are using WinXP i found a interesting thing that even tho i had Hyperthreading tech enabled in BIOS it was not in working in windows, i had to disable it - reboot, windows finds that it has a multiproccessor does its thing - reboot - then enable it and it works fine now.
I would sudgest you DL a program like SISandra to moniter and benchmark so you can figure which configuration works best.
