Final RAM speed and FSB question
The plan is to have this thread archived. I've seen this question multiple times. It would be convienient to have a single thread to reference.
 "Should I set the RAM speed to equal the CPU FSB or visa versa?"

Im under the impression that when RAM = CPU's FSB, thats when you get optimal performance...of course, I could be wrong

AMD chipsets run under optimal performance when RAM runs the same speed as your FSB. However, some chipsets let you run in ASYNCh mode with your AMD CPU, and you will get performance gains.
With Pentium 4's, you can run them a different speed than your FSB, and still get optimal performance. Because there is no DDR RAM that runs at 533Mhz when it's doubled, unless you got RDRAM which is expensive. Hope that helps! |
