why DDR 200?

[Guest]

I have the asus a7v266 board and if i select "auto"dram clock in the bios,when i restart it shows me ddr:200.ok,i can change it to "133:133"(266) setting with no problem,but why 200 with auto setting?

what CPU do you have?

the board detects the processor's FSB from the special pins on the processor and set it accordingly. if you have a 100 MHz (200 DDR) FSB processor the board will set it so, if you have a 133 MHz (266 DDR) FSB processor the board will set 133.

Or, it sets to 100 for safety, a 100 MHz processor has higer multiplier so its core speed would be too high if the FSB is 133, 25% too high which might damage the processor.
