Dividers arent that bad...Benchies!

Recently I toasted my RAM...which sucks..because they will only run stock 200 - 2.2.2.5. Any change in FSB/Timings will cause an instant BSOD. So I'm deciding to get the most out of them till I get different sticks...I decided to see what dividers can do for me. I'm actually quite surprised...here are my results

My Conclusion
I'm going to be using 255x11 - 166 Divider for a while since it offers best performance without knocking my RAM above 200fsb. Nice little performance boost. Performance starts to decrease pretty bad with the 150 divider, although the PI time doesnt really get affected that bad compared to the other time. Just thought i'd share this with everyone thinking dividers were complete crap

Good deal thanks for the analysis, good results considering the TCCD toast in those nice spreaders
