Can someone explain strapping to me please? I looked and I cannot find anything that explains strappings in details and what it does. The reason I ask is that I cannot run these sticks at 1003Mhz with my FSB at 400x9, this is the 400Mhz strap, however if I put them at 1080Mhz with my FSB at 450x8 it runs like a champ, strapping is at 333Mhz. I just cannot grasp the strapping concept and it seems that ram on my MB does not like anything other than 333Mhz strap. I just need an explanation so I can figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
