I'm running a A7V8X Deluxe and Barton 2500+. I have 1 G of OCZ PC3200 Dual Channel Ram running at 200 MHZ. Should I have the CPU frequency also set to 200 Mhz or leave it at 166 Mhz where it now is?
Tia for any info.

Doesn't hurt any to have the memory a little out of sync with the cpu internal clock, however there will be no performance gain on a AMD set up. I have my memory set up to default to the cpu internal clock in the bios.
