Dividers


RAM dividers can sometimes help you achieve higher CPU speeds. I was having problems getting my Opteron 148 Prime-stable at 274X11 (3014MHz) with the 200MHz divider. But by using the 166MHz divider and dropping the RAM speed to 253, I was able to do 304X10 (3040MHz). Unless you are doing benchmarking, 253MHz is perfectly fine for general computer tasks. Worth a try. The nice thing is you can use lower memory voltage. I'm now running at 3020MHz with memory at 251 and 2.65v.
