A method of optimizing performance of a memory subsystem in a computer system.
This method including the step of informing the computer system of what type of
memory module loading is present in the memory subsystem. The method also includes
operating the memory subsystem at a first frequency that is at a chosen ratio to
a second frequency at which a frontside bus (FSB) operates. Further, the method
includes optimizing the performance of the memory subsystem by changing the ratio.
