Asus A8V Deluxe Bio/Memory Question

[JD03Cobra]

Just setup an A8V Deluxe with an AMD 3700 San Diego. I'm using 1G Corsair DDR 400 and I noticed in the bios it says "MemClock to CPU". Options are 1:1 DDR 200, 2:1 DDR400, etc....

I'm a newbie so my question is should the setting be at 2:1 DDR 400. Seems like a dumb question but I want to clarify. Default is 1:1 DDR 200.

Yeah set it to 2:1. I have the same mobo and it boots with 1:1 the first time you install a new cpu to ensure that it will post regardless of timings, voltage, etc.

yeah, your board lists things weirdly and takes the DDR part into the equation to try to confuse you, allowing aliens to abduct you without knowing!

(read: you want the 2:1 DDR400 setting)
