It's pretty easy. You just have to figure out the divisors for a multiplier assuming an HTT of 200. For instance, let's look at 11.5.
First, figure the theoretical product of the baseline HTT and multiplier:
(200 HTT * 11.5x) = 2300MHz Clock
Next, figure out what that clock speed divided by the (real) RAM frequency is, and round up. Take note that DDR2 speeds are marketed as double what they really are. This makes 400 = 200, 533 = 267, 667 = 333, and 800 = 400.
So for the 400MHz setting, you'd do: (200 HTT * 11.5) / 200 = 11.5
Round up and you get 12. So, with an 11.5x multiplier and RAM set to 400 at an HTT of 200MHz, you'd have an actual memory frequency of 192 (384) MHz.
For the 667 setting at 11.5x and 207MHz HTT for example, you'd have:
Ceiling((200 * 11.5) / 333) = 7
(207 * 11.5) / 7 = 340 (680) MHz
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
