What is the relationship between the FSB and the memory clock speed?
Example. I have an ASUS P4PE-X mobo. Runs at a 400mhz FSB. In it I have a PC2100 DDR memory module. 512mb worth. PC2100 lists at 266mhz. Since it has DDR technology, does that mean it is actually a 133mhz stick, DDR’d to 266? Or that it will be able to get the stick up to 532mhz with DDR?
In the above example. The processor is a 2.6ghz, P4. Since it is set in the BIOS as a 400mhz FSB, running at 2.6ghz, is it possible to be stressing the memory, or the processor? Is the FSB of the system being dragged down to 266mhz? Thereby degrading the actual FSB of the system and putting stress on it to keep the processer up at that speed?
I know this is an all over the place question, and I’m sorry for that. I’m just trying to understand a problem I’m seeing.
Thanks a ton for any help. -Todd
