Heres my current config:
Athlon xp at 10.5x 215=2.25
Corsair XMS 3200 at 2.8 volts. 2.3.3.6
Nf7s 2.0

I have not changed the ram ratio in the bios. What does the ratio represent? What would you guys reccomend for my config?

    1:1 or 4:4.

    The ram ratio represents how fast or slow the memory is in relation to the FSB. 1:1 means a 215 FSB is 215Mz memory. ETC.

    Wouldnt the 4:4 be the same thing? 1/1=1 and 4/4=1. Isnt that the same ratio?

    They are, as is 3:3, 6:6 and so forth. Thrax opined a couple of months back that 4:4 was faster, based on what testing or reading I am unsure. Mine runs equally in benchmarking at 4:4 or 6:6, which are the only 2 settings I have tried with my 2100+ @ 11X210 / NF7-S 2.0

    4:4 allows me 3-5 extra MHz on the FSB that 1:1 doesn't. Go fig. Another NF2 quirk.
