What memory frequency ???

[Steve Pearson]

Hi

I have an Asus K7N8X N-force 2 deluxe motherboard with 2 x Twinmos 3200 DDr
memory sticks and I dont know what frequency to set my memory to in the
bios.

At the moment it is set to 166 mhz - is this the best setting for my system
???

Any help will be appreciated

PC3200 RAM can run at 200MHz.
If your processor can't run that fast, you can either underclock your memory
at 166MHz as you have now, overclock your processor to 200MHz, or run them
out of synch. Processor at 166, RAM at 200.
Ideally run both at 200.

PC3200 DDR memory is capable of running at 200Mhz.

Motherboards with the nForce2 chipsets perform best when the procesor
and memory run in sync. So, if your processor runs at 166 then run the
memory at 166 also.
