Bit of a n00b question

I have no idea what the memmory dividers in the bois of my P4S533 do, would someone mid explaining what they stand for

Thanks FaTs

Adjusts the speed of your RAM independent (kinda) of your FSB, samples:

133FSB with 1:1 = 133/1*1=133MHz
133FSB with 4:6 = 133/4*6=200MHz

Sample of 132FSB with the 3:5 on a P4S333, 220MHz:

They determine bandwith availailable to your CPU, and with the P4 the more bandwith the better (why RDRAM performs best with it ). Now lets say your running your FSB at 133 with the 1:1 ratio , then your bandwith would 133 doubled due to DDR / 266mhz which gives you 2.1gb's bandwith. At the same FSB if you were running 4:6 ratio , then your memory would run at 133 (4;6) = 200mhz , which doubled gives you 400mhz which would give DDR400 bandwith (3.2gb's) . Therefore the better the divider the more bandwith and better performance.
