Hello there.
Currently I have an E2140 with 2gb of PC5300 memory.
Now the multiplier of the E2140 is 8 and the stock speed of the PC5300 is 667mhz (333mhz)
So if my CPU FSB was set to 333 I would have a 2.6ghz processor.
As it stands I have pushed my limited memory to 740mhz (370mhz) which has given me a 2.96ghz processor.
If I was to get some PC6400, it would be running at 800mhz (400mhz) and that would give me a 3.2ghz processor.
What I'm basically asking is that in the unlikey event that my CPU cannot take that and starts to melt, could I actually underclock my memory below stock and also is there any point in having the faster memory if I have to do that ?
Apologies for the nooby explanations and if I have misunderstood anything
Cheers
