Overclocking questions

Comment:
I have two questions,
1) What is the point of Dual DDR on an AMD board when the maximum FSB is 400Hz and
2) On most boards, is the memory clock or bus speed affected by the system clock?
Thanks

I don't know why it put my signature there four times! That's a little odd.

1). For pre-AMD 64 systems, to make you feel better when you are comparing your system to your buddy's P4 with dual channel DDR; But AMD 64 definitely needs dual DDR for performance gain. 2). Yes, when you change your CPU frequency, your memory clock is going to change according to the CPU ratio you set.

Think of Dual Channel like this:
You're in a city with one highway, everyone leaves by that one highway, you get there...eventually. Then, someone adds a 2nd highway to the same destination, you still get there...quicker.
