This is my rig's details:
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2302628
So, I am running Windows XP SP 3 and I am using 2x Kingston KHX8500D2/1GN, supposedly max rated @533 MHz/2.2V.
As you will see however, the individual memory frequency is actually 606.4 MHz, and the frequency given in the BIOS is 1213 MHZ. It's a 2:3 rate as I set it
in the BIOS.
After setting the memory thus, I noticed a tremendous performance gain in online video gaming (SW:TOR). I am passing through crowded areas and I am getting no lag at all,
it's sort of like I am flowing through.
My rig is dated 3/2008. Prior to these settings, I used to have the memory set to 1:1 ratio while calibrating my OC for maybe a week or so, and then throughout the remaining
period (almost four years) my memory was auto-set by BIOS to smt like 1250ish MHz (BIOS reported setting).
Now how is that possible again? Isn't the max frequency of the mory 533 MHz @2.2V? Am I missing smt here or what?
P.S: My memory underperformed substantially at 1:1 rating. 1:1 was 379X2 Mhz
