Personally, I'd set it to 266:533 and see how high you can go, and then start playing with it to see if a higher divisor gives you better performance, or if going to 333:667 gives you more FSB headroom.
Yup i heard about the 1:1 performance thingy but at the same time heard that it's pretty hard to achieve it isn't it?

I assume the reason why gtj is asking me to use the 667Mhz (mem freq) is because he is assuming that i'll be using 333 as the reference frequency which will give me a 1:1 ratio right?

However you already stated that setting the ref frequency at 333 (1333 strap) is bad as it increases latency. I remembered you said something bout the trade off in terms of higher latencies vs high frequency. So is there a break even point where you are able to contain the latency while increasing the frequency at teh same time?

Am i correct ?
