ive only recently really began to grasp many of the concepts involved in building your own rig and its componenets as i had to do it myself for the first time. RAM (timings, frequency etc) i still find really confusing. am i right in thinking that i want my fsb:dram ratio to be 1:1 or am i way off. and if so, how do i go about changing this
RAM is confusing

ive got geil pc6400 ram. so, would that ram be fine if i set 1:1 ratio. i have a c2d so fsb is 1066. am i right in thinking this ram can run up to 1600mhz which would require me to have the processor running at 400x9 for the ram to have to be utilised to this extent. is that right. i find it really confusing. trying to get my head around this as am thinking about oc'ing for the first time
ok, this question prob belongs in the cpu section but prob shouldnt start another thread. the bios for my mobo(evga 680i) doesnt have any options for directly changing the mem clock of the cpu (think thats the 266mhz figure), only lets me change the fsb of 1066. so to get my core to 3ghz for eg, *** value do i need to change the fsb to, is it 1330mhz? im not really sure. and how would this effect my ram. what settings would i need to change for my ram to get optimal results from the overclock. thanks guys. this is confusing for me
