i would like to overclock my system(specs below) but i'm a little confused about memory. i have ddr400 (pc3200). lets say i want to raise the fsb to 210 with a locked multiplier of 13 making it run at 2730. does this mean that the memory is now at 420mhz and do i have to change my divider? ------------------------ Asus P4P800VM,AMI BIOS v 1005.03 P4 2.6c Northwood Stock Intel HSF GeForce FX5200 128MB Geil Ultra 1024MB(512x2) DDR 400 PC3200 CAS timing: 2-3-3-6 Samsung 80GB Serial ATA 7200rpm,8MB buffer Lite-On CD/CDRW 52x32x52x Windows XP Home SP1

i think i found my own anwser. if the ram does not go as high as the fsb i have to change the divider to 5:4 to 160 mhz(320ddr). ------------------------- Asus P4P800VM,AMI BIOS v 1005.03 P4 2.6c Northwood Stock Intel HSF GeForce FX5200 128MB Geil Ultra 1024MB(512x2) DDR 400 PC3200 CAS timing: 2-3-3-6 Samsung 80GB Serial ATA 7200rpm,8MB buffer Lite-On CD/CDRW 52x32x52x Windows XP Home SP1

Yes, you can do that but doesn't that mean you will have a bottleneck at the memory. You are using a P4, so the FSB will be 840 (quadpumped) and the memory only 320MHz. Or have I got the figures wrong?

320Mhz is the base; add the 25% ocing and you would be back to 400mhz.
