Ram Ratios

**bigdawgfoxx** · 12-22-2003, 03:01 AM

Hey! My first question is what exactly is the RAM to CPU ratio thing? I will have a 2500XP Barton at 333Mhz FSB and PC3200 Ram. What setting should I run this on the have the memory run at like 333Mhz for good syncrozanation. Wouldnt the ram running at 333Mhz be the best? What exactly is this ratio. Also when I overclock my cpu to 200X11 what should the CPU:RAM be? 1:1 since they will both have the same FSB?

ALSO which should I get?
*Corsair XMS 2-3-2-6 PC3200 2X256MB, or
*Mushkin 2-2-2-6 PC3200 Level II 2X256MB?

I like Mushkin ( it's made here in Denver&#33

.

Run your chip and RAM synchronized.

I like corsair, it's more popular in the market.

Yeah I know to run it syncronized, but with my CPU running at 333Mhz and my ram running at 400Mhz how will I make the ram run at 333Mhz? Once I can boost it up to 200X11 then I can just leave it at 400Mhz

Are they the same price?

Is it running at 400 or is it rated 400 ?
