Boy I feel stupid!

All right guys, I ran some tests, found my initial thought that there was no difference in performance between 4:5 and 1:1 were incorrect, and have charted the results (and amended the guide). As you can see, the difference between 1:1 and 4:5 in anything but bandwidth benchies is negligible. And, of course, higher FSB 1:1 offers the best performance, compared to a lower CPU clock in 4:5. So here it is:

^^ How about a 166fsb at 4:5 compared to 166fsb at 1:1?

The same principles will apply. Bandwidth will be mildly better in 4:5 than 1:1, but arithmetic and multimedia will not benefit any.

where is this 4;5 OR 1;1 DONT UNDERSTAND.WHERE DO YOU SET THIS.When I change my fsb all good,the only other things I can change are duh 3:2:1 or 4:2:1 or 5:3:2 or 6:4:2 or spd something like that.Dont laugh I am learning

You will see the ratio in your BIOS or on a 3rd party app.

prendergaststeve

I think I can figure this out,if its the last thing I do lol.Thanks for your input.

NoAffinity

Do you have an option set set RAM or DRAM speed? If so, then this will dictate the CPU:RAM divider, and won't be displayed as an actual ratio. The ratios that you have available are a ratio for you PCI and AGP buses, divided off of CPU frequency.
