I recently flashed my motherboard for the first time because my AM3 processor was showing up as "AMD Unknown Model" and as i was looking through Everest i realized my DRAM:FSB ratio was at 12:6. To be honest i really had no idea what it ment at first but after a few minutes on Google, I realized that for the best performance it should be at 1:1.
I do alot of gaming on my computer so i always like to push every last bit of power out of my computer, I was reading a different forum about the 12:6 ratio and someone said that their RAM was basically running at half power, Is this true? And if so, How can i fix that and make my DRAM:FSB ratio to 1:1?
Iv always thought my PC ran a little slow for 4GB of RAM. Could this possibly be the reason?
