Soyo mb KT600 cpu ratio setting ?????

I have a soyo kt600 dragon and have already set the fsb jumpers to 133 for my xp 1700 cpu but there is another set of jumpers to be used to set the RATIO. It says these will only work with an unlocked cpu.

I do not plan to overclock but I think my cpu is unlocked . what is the proper ratio? I have no clue. The gigabyte board I am replacing had no such type of jumper? Thank you
 
You have to experiment with the RATIO to see at
what setting it will work at and still remain stable & boot.

There is no CORRECT setting.
 
I did the standard setting for my xp1700 which was 11 and fsb of 133. No problems at all so I left the ratio at 11 but set the fsb at 166. I have a volcano 12 on it and at the lowest fan speed the cpu temp maxes out at 48c . I have not changed any settings except the fsb jumper to 166. It runs fine and boots ok. The board is soyo kt600 dragon plus ver1.

Is it possible to run this cpu at fsb 200 without changing any other settings ? I was going to buy a xp 3000 cpu for this system but if I can crank this to fsb 200 would that be similar in speed. Or should I just be happy with its current 166 setting and leave it there? Am I going about this in the right way?

And thank you for your assistance, greatly appreciated!
 
Yes, that is the easiest way, but if your CPU is really unlocked, you can use the miltiplier steps to do intermediate settings. That keeps the PCI and AGP slots at their standard rates. Each 33MHz FSB step is 25% more above standard wile using the mult can go in about 5 or 10% steps (11, 11.5, 12, etc.).

Well it would not boot at all at 200 fsb.

I have one stick of kingston 512 3200value, its on the approved list for this mb. I ran a memory test and it was pitiful, worse than pc2100. When I checked the bios the ram was set to 133 clock rate and the rest were the mb's optimized settings like a 2.5 timing. I set the ram detection to spd but the performance was not changed. I read the manual and it was not very helpful. Any ideas , whats a good way to benchmark the ram ( I used sandra2004 memory bandwidth benchmark) ?
