question guys. ihave the Q9550 EO. running it now at 3.83ghz 451 fsb
i have some mushkin mem ddr2 800 4-5-4-12. and im running it at 902mhz. this ram is takeing this OC great. but if i go higher i cant keep it stable... i hear alot of you guys talking about running at a different ratio than 1:1. i thought 1:1 is what you wanted to keep your mem at.??? i know i need some 1066 mem to get over 4.0ghz and stable but should i loosen that up and run say 5:6 ratio instead of 1:1. should i try to loosen up my mushkins now and try 4.0ghz? i know my CPU can handle it its just my mem holding me back.... yes i still havent made up my mind on which mobo to get still battleing between the P5Q Deluxe and the GA-EP45-UD3P
