Could someone please explain this?

[Munka]

Okay, this may be inensely n00bish, but:

could someone explain why my "FSB: DRAM" is FSB + 33 MHz?

I have a P4 2.53.... and I know the score with the quad pumping an fsb of 133, but then why does it not just say 1:1 for that ratio? because that is really what it is, isn't it?

thanks in advance for my perhaps redundant question....

its most likey saying that because your ram is clocked faster then the FSB before it is quad pumped. download the latest version of CPU-Z and see what happends: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

thanks, the new version says exactly the same as the one I was using, though... though if all of my Bios settings are at default, then nothing should be clocked higher like that, right?

Because the FSB is 133 QDR (533) and the Ram is running at 166 DDR (333).

533 / 4 = 133
333 / 2 = 166

Thus 133 + 33 = RAM Speed of 166.
