HI all,
I am thinking of buying a new motherboard and CPU. I am thinking of getting a 6850 (1333 fsb) because over in NZ they are cheap as chips, and this Asus P35 motherboard:
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model =1655&modelmenu=1
I already have (and hope to retain) 2 gigs (2x 1gig) of 667 corsair memory.
With intels QDR, 1333 / 4 = 333
And with 667 / 2 = 333
Hence I have to get 1-1 ratio to get the best out of the CPU without pruchasing new ram.
So if I want to keep my memory I will have to run it at 1-1 ratio first of all can this be done in dual channel setups (as I have two ram dimms)
Do you see any likely issues with the board I have picked out and reaching 1-1 ratios.
I only ask because on my current Gigabyte 975X board I can only get as low as 1-2 ratios.
Many thanks for your assistance.
