Previous overclocks I've done over the years have just involved upping a multiplier, or a FSB. I feel a little lost on my understanding how on a modern MB the memory speed/overclock comes into play?
If we took a MB running say an E6600 it would be running at 266mhz x 9 = 2.4ghz.
So if you upped the FSB to 333, there you have the CPU now running at 3.0ghz. Correct?
But what is happening with the memory during all this? And what dictates how fast it is running, or how fast it is overclocked etc? Can you set memory speed separately? Or is is based on its own FSB multiplier?
Thanks...
