Do the divider settings that equate to 1/1 (such as 5/5 or 6/6 or 3/3) make a difference in o/c'ing??
If you don't quite understand what I'm asking, basically, is there an advantage to running 6/6 as opposed to 3/3 (or any other for that matter and vice versa) for overclocking (more stable, etc)??
I've never read anything on this and I haven't had a chance to try it out yet (my o/c is curerntly ****ing me off... was fine, but think I changed somethign and now it's not being stable anymore for long periods of time... grr...). If anyone knows or has any experience with this please let me know. Thanks.

I've heard that you need to figure in the FSB speed you are running to determine the correct 1:1 PCI ratio. So, if you are running 200 FSB, then you should choose 6/6. If you are running 166FSB, then choose 5/5.
