Right now I am at 1:1 at 170 since my MB will get too hot above DDR 340.
I need better RAMs when they come out to run at 2:1.
Never have had much luck with systems that don't run at 1:1 or ...?
FIC MB never worked except at 1:1.
My Value Select RAMs say 5-5-5-15-5 but I am at 2-2-2-8-2 since
my clock rate is at 170 (""340"") and so far, other than the recovery going
to zero I am lower on most other numbers as well..
.
it seems to me the SPD are almost always wrong, but you must use them
via *CPUz to get a start (*a handy utility program available at www.x86-secret.com )
but to run at CAS 2 or so is the goal (I know slots will get
to 2 or 2.5 or whatever for sure)
Also if you pay for a MB that runs at 220 you can run at 440 DDR...QDR
DUH
And so on...does indeed 2:1 help? Certainly just getting the
best RAM parts you can counts a lot since windows will use lots of
it everything seeming twice as fast can be nice, and good quaility
RAM, MB, and CPU chips can help a lot.... try to get a .65 process if
you get Intel; or go for two Opterons if you have money for AMD.
I should note my video card company also loves to overclock like mad and
so I am also CLOCKED (AS ALWAYS) at 2:1 instead of some bad irrational
number which would work with FB systems but do not work)
