I have seen alot of talk where people say you need a 1:1 memory divider or 4:5 or whatever. However, if I set my ram to 1:1 in the bios, i get a speed of like 1350, which is of course wayyy up there for DDR2, and all I am running is an E6600 with a 378mhz FSB (x9 for 3.4 ghz).
So i have my memory set as unlinked and ticking along at 1100mhz, their stock speed with a 11:16 FSB to RAM ratio. So my question is why does that divider matter and why should I slow down my RAM to match something PC2-6400 RAM has no problem with?
