I’m looking for a low end Gigabyte P35 board and I want to know what I should expect in terms of memory dividers. Ideally I’d like the option to be able to run the memory at 1:1 regardless of what CD I’m using - 200/266/333 FSB. This is for testing purposes as I’m collecting data.
It seems as if the P35/G33 chipsets only officially support 667/800 MHz RAM which equates to an E4400 using a minimum memory divider of 200/333 = 1.67. I have a Gigabyte G33 chipset board that has this issue. Do their P35 boards have the same problem?
I’m looking at the GA-P35-S3, GA-P35-S3L, GA-P35-DS3L and GA-P35-DS3R in particular, but welcome info on their other boards or P35 boards from other manufacturers.
Note. I realise that I can change the memory ratios by using a BSEL mod on a chip with a FSB of 200 or 266 but that’s not what I’m interested in here.
