pc6400 800Mhz 4-4-4-12-1T *timings before underclock*

pc6400 667Mhz 3-3-3-8-1T *current timings*

i currently underclocked my memory to the 667 am i losing any performance doing this or is it the same. I underclocked because my cpu fsb is 1333mhz and i wanted the 1:1 cpu ram ratio. Instead of 5:6 like i had with the 800mhz.

CPU FSB is not 1333mhz as it is quad therefore 333mhz

Memory is not 667mhz as it is DDR therefore 333mhz

So yes you are correct that you are running 1:1
