I see in my bios that i have a setting called sdram frequency and it has settings like 133,166...400mhz. I currently have PC3200 RAM which is obviously 200mhz. Should this setting be set at 200 as well. I thought maybe they wanted 400mhz because it is DDR ram. Right now my FSB is at 200mhz.

Thanks for the help....a little confused here.

Whats it on? Auto? thats probally just the divider settings.


It's on auto...but I was wondering if I should set it for 200mhz or 400mhz...just wondering
 
Edit: nvm...i got the wrong idea from reading your thread 4 times over. It sounds like the memory divider...maybe? Not sure

No leave it on auto, you would only need to set it down (166) if your mem couldn't keep up with your OC, but it can so leave it as is.
