Im guessing a multiplier of 13 and a fsb of 200?

Yeah... what does "Integrated into chip." mean?

i think that previous processors ran on a multiplier of the system clock a.k.a the front side bus. the system clock was generated by the motherboard chipset. if the mobo chipset system clock (fsb) ran at 200mhz and the cpu ran on a multiplier of 10 then you have 2ghz proc. However, with athlon 64's the system clock is integrated into the die of the chip itself and no longer relies on the mobo chipset.

well what im trying to get at is the best case scenario ram to go with it....im assuming DDR566 (PC4200)

DDR566 isn't PC4200 btw, as DDR550 is PC4400.

If your gonna overclock then yes, get ram that can reach high speeds, but if not, I'd go for ram that has low latency, which usually clock up pretty good anyways, so....

pc4200 is 526

**nwo75200** · March 21st, 2005, 04:57 PM

all A64s currently have a 400MHz FSB

**teengeek88** · March 21st, 2005, 05:03 PM

so would it be ok to get PC3200 with this processor

well it should run at optimal speed, but it shouldn't be OK since you would wanna OC that baby sooner or later

is PC3200 the highest regular DDR (non DDR2) ?

nope; PC4500 is the highest, but the best bang for the buck (for OCers) is PC4000.

Thanks for the explination
