I'm a little confused here. This will be my first time ever using or working with DDR2 RAM, so I don't have much experience here.
With say, DDR400 RAM, it has a real clock of 200MHz with an effective clock of 400MHz. I'm pretty sure it gets the real clock of 200MHz from the FSB, as whenever you increase the FSB the RAM also increases.
So now take my DDR2 800 RAM. It has a real clock of 400MHz and an effective clock of 800MHz. How does it get that? I still have a FSB of 200.
Does it have something to do with a CPU/DRAM ratio? Does it not run at 1:1?
I'd like to start over clocking my new rig but I'm a little confused about this.
Thanks.
