Back on Topic - Ignorance and Thread Highjacking
----------------------------------------------------------
Why is it that "Clueless" is always highjacking threads... making unconfirmened claims, acting like an Ass, and never gives any actual solutions! In fact... I have yet to see a single thing that he has provided to this forum... I have never seen him help someone... though I do see him put people down...
I come to help people... call it a part of my quest in life to make a difference... to contribute to society, and to make someones life easier...
I come to hear what others have to say... To learn from them, and to listen...
My question is... WHY DO YOU COME HERE CLUELESS?

Back to Original Topic - Excel Sheet
------------------------------------------
Overclockers never use effective frequency. They're just for marketing people to fock people's brain up.
At stock it's 266FSB:266RAM
well there is a certain life and honesty to the numbers... They dont run everything at 1/2 multiplier so that they can double their ram numbers and then market the PC as a 2400MHz FSB!
There is a reason they choose a multiplier of 11 and a FSB of 266 for the X6800... Its a bit pointless to point this out, but it does hint to some engineering reasoning behind it...
---------------------
Anyways, why do you recommend 1:1 even with people who have very high rated memory speeds? Shouldnt I run my memory as close to its specified value as possible... For example... 11 Multiplier at 319fsb with a ratio that is 1 below the max would run the CPU at 3.33Ghz and the Memory at around 1066...
---------------------
My Excel Sheet
---------------------
I calculated memory ratio by using the Memory MHz speed for my excel sheet differently. I figured
(FSB * 4) * (X/1066) = Memory Speed
This is proven with a
266 * 4 * (800/1066) = 800
The Values the memory can be set to by looking at the bios with a 266 Mhz FSB represent X = 1066, 889, 800, 667, 533, and 400. Resulting in Ratios of: 1, .834, .725, .5, .375
What your telling me is that my idea of memory multipliers (listed above) are 1/2 the actual values and that memory speed is calulated with the following equation:
(FSB * 2) * Memory Multiplier = Memory Speed
Either way The results givin on my excel sheet are accurate. The issue is to display the ratio and equations right... When I asked for the memory ratios, no one gave me a answer... So I figured it out myself..
-----------------
I am interested in Wusy responding with a bit more detail to what he ment when he said 1:1 is the only reliable multiplier. From my understanding, a memory multiplier of 1:1 is 1066, which is not reliable for some memory... Or are you talking about the idea of dropping the CPU Multiplier?!?
No, 1:1 gives a memory speed of 533. The
FSB is 1066. Mem speed @ 1:1 is double the FSB.
Then what are the other Memory Multipliers.... I asked for this information awhile ago and couldnt get it... I always thought it was 4 instruction sets per memory request... Because of Hyperthreading...
----------------------
Im happy with my excel sheet. I got the information I needed when asking for it failed. I created answers that are right... and I put it in a way that people seem to like... I hope others think the same thing...

PS Wusy, you think in the FSB... and I think in that marketing mombo jumbo overall ram speeds...
