That may be, but there is no reason to run the 4:5 ratio in his case. Suppose his 2.4 Celeron is capable of 3.2GHz (a realistic goal). This would entail the use of a 133MHz fsb. At 1:1 this means running the ram at 266MHz, a perfect consequence considering his PC2100 ram.
Running 4:5 on a 865/875 chipset is next to useless. Not only will it likely result in slack timings to allow the increased memory clock rate, the increased memory clock rate itself is of dubious value. In addition the PAT and PAT-like Abit GAT function much better at 1:1 than any other ratio, and this factor along with the tighter bios memory timings possible at 1:1 means that there is a potential latency advantage at 1:1 that can and will conteract the benefit from increased memory clock rate. And as we are talking about a dual channel architechture in the first place, bandwidth is never in short supply, even running the memory at 266MHz.
Let me say this thread is one of the poorer examples of contructive input and posting quality I have yet seen. If you don't have anything constructive to add, don't bother posting. Not only are the majority of the sentiments here unproductive, but they violate if not the the letter of certainly the spirit of the user agreement all agree to to access this forum.
