Patriot DDR2 800MHz 2GBx2 5-5-5-12 2T
for what i understand with my 800MHz ram I can overclock my CPU it to 400MHz = 3.6GHz right
But i dont understand the FSB:DRAM ratio part. according to CPU-Z my stock setting are Bus speed 267.3MHz, DRAM 400MHz, and ratio is 2:3. Is that mean in my BIOS CPU Freq is 267.3MHz and DRAM freq is DDR2-800MHz? What if i want to set the ratio to 1:1, in my BIOS CPU Freq is 267.3MHz and DRAM freq is DDR2-534.5MHz? what would my DRAM be for 1:1 ratio if my CPU Freq is 333MHz, 355MHz, 377MHz, and 400MHz?
What i dont understand is what is this ratio for? lower the ratio is less stable, and mean more heat to the ram?
