Default M2N-E DRAM frequency

The ratio FSB : DRAM cannot be adjusted manually for the M2N-E board, it is set automatically by XP.
The big joke here is, when I lower the Bus Speed this ratio is adjusted to up the DRAM frequncy and when I up the Bus Speed the whole thing hangs on boot.

So when OC'ing the RAM is (or has always been) the bottleneck, due to the DRAM frequency going up too high.


Current stable settings:

Memory
DRAM freq 416 MHz
FSB : DRAM CPU/8 (set by XP)
CL 4.0 clocks
tRCD 4 clocks
tRP 4 clocks
tRAS 12 clocks
tRC 18 clocks
CR 2T

CPU
Core Speed 3330 HHz
Multiplier x15
Bus Speed 222 Mhz
HT Link 888 MHz
Core Voltage 1.456 V



The BIOS for the M@N-E board has many settings to finetune the DRAM settings. Most of them are set to AUTO, just for the simple fact that the manual doesn't explain what the settings are for. I am familiar with the basics, but fiddling around whit the advanced settings without knowing what they do seems a bit risky, so suggestions and tips what to change are very welcome.
