I've been reading about overclocking and dividers etc etc and am a little confused.

If you increase the speed of the FSP then it increases the CPU speed AND the DRAM speed. But then if you put a divider it slows the DRAM down again... so you end up with a faster CPU... why not just increase the CPU multiplier? :S
 
Ahhh... so the moral of the story is to increase FSB and so increase speed of CPU... then decrease speed of the RAM & HTT using dividers... have I got this right?

Does anyone have any links to decent overclocking guides for modern CPUs as I can only find ones for the older CPUs which involve FSB / multi fiddling :(
 
Heh... X2 3800+. Asus A8R-MVP.

I think my age must be wrong... I've _just_ finished my degree at cambridge. Did two years of maths then a year of computer science.... In some sense a page file _is_ an extension of main memory... but thats such a slack understatement that it's not really worth saying... so yeah, you are right in what you say but they want you to be less precise... just learn to please the examiners :)
