Rambler Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi, Im planning on purchasing a 4200+ CPU which runs at 2200Mhz for use with an Asus board and 6400C4 RAM modules. From reading this page http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2762&p=10 it appears the AM2 CPU's have a weird multiplier due to the multiplier running at only whole numbers. The RAM will run at 733Mhz according to this formula derived from the above mentioned web page. 11 (multiplier) x 200Mhz (clock) = 2200Mhz CPU 2200 / 6 (half of the multiplier rounded up to nearest number) = 366.67Mhz 366.67 x DDR = 733.34Mhz RAM Speed Now I dont mind running the DDR2 800Mhz capable memory at 733Mhz, but i am curious if this will cause stability issues. Could someone please advise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 5, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 5, 2006 You should be able to run at 800MHZ with a 4200. It will not cause stability issues even if ran at 733MHZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
