I'm just running CPU at rated speed 2300mhz (11.5x200). I notice that when I put ram in auto mode in bios, it will clock it at 800 (rated speed of the Ram) and that is where I get the 1:2 ratio. I wasn't really looking to overclock at this point but I was trying to understand the ratio. if data speed in Ram is twice as fast as in the CPU I just trying to grasp that?
CPU clock speed and RAM clock speed are different things
you have to remember that the RAM clock relates to data transfer were the CPU clock is data processing
the CPU can eat up the data in its cache extremely fast and the cache isnt very big the ram and FSB need to be very fast to keep the the CPU feed with data
It does make sense then that in auto mode the FSB:DRAM is 1:2 ratio because if I clock down the Ram to 400 mhz to give 1:1 ratio there might be more wait states in the CPU.
ratios have nothing to do with trasferrates its just how the clock speeds are set for things since every thing is based off the FSB clock it ether need a multiplier or divider
